Amara Estate Builder Appointed
M/Group is pleased to announce that NVS Construction Pty Ltd has been appointed as builder for Amara Estate, marking the project’s move into the construction phase.
Founded in 2022 by Directors Brendon Bidwell and Russell Holmes, NVS Construction has built a reputation for quality across industrial, mining, residential and mixed-use projects, drawing on the Directors’ extensive industry experience. Their appointment follows the finalisation of the Building Contract and Civil Works package, and construction is set to commence in the coming months.
This milestone builds on strong momentum for Amara Estate. Since pre-sales launched, the project has attracted significant demand from essential workers and investors alike, with now 54 dwellings pre-sold and 37 dwellings contracted to the Government Regional Officer Housing (GROH) program. Full project funding remains secured through the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA).
With a builder now in place, M/Group looks forward to delivering safe, affordable, climate-resilient homes for essential workers in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder region, and will continue to provide updates as construction progresses.

M/Group Launches Newman Regional Housing Fund
M/Group is pleased to present the Newman Regional Housing Fund – a strategic residential land development in the heart of the East Pilbara.
Located in Newman, one of Australia’s premier iron ore service centres, the development is positioned to meet chronic housing undersupply driven by long-term demand from mining operations. The project comprises 200 titled lots, secured from a Receiver/Manager at a significant discount to replacement cost.
The development will deliver 167 turn-key homes for owner-occupiers and investors, and remaining high-density lots to be sold separately on the open market. M/Group is partnering with NVS Construction and Jubilee Modular, both of whom bring significant experience delivering construction outcomes in regional Western Australia.
Housing supply in the region remains in critical shortage, with very limited new supply delivered over the past decade and demand is expected to continue.

Amara Pre-Sales Officially Launched
Following much anticipation, M/Group is excited to announce that pre-sales for our latest residential landmark, Amara Estate, officially launched at the end of July 2025.
Amara Estate is a secure, gated community with shared green spaces and residence clubhouse. The primary goal of this project is to facilitate delivery of safe, affordable, climate-resilient homes in a secure, gated community for essential workers in this high priority regional location in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder area. The essential key workers include and aren’t limited to the following industries: childcare, education, emergency services, government employees, healthcare, and retail.
Currently, there are 40 dwellings pre-sold, and 36 dwelling contracted to be leased to the Government Regional Officer Housing (GROH) program. Demand for sales and leasing remains exceptionally strong, driven by Kalgoorlie’s current vacancy rate of less than 1%.
The project is set to move into the construction phase early next year. The Building Contract and Civil Works package has been finalised, and we have secured full project funding through the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA).

WA Property Syndicate Lowers Risk to Attract Investors
Western Australia Property Company, M/Group is playing a new hand to secure syndicate investors, following a number of consecutive oversubscribed property funds released over the last two years.
The Darling Ridge Shopping Centre is an established income producing entity, with national brands such as IGA, Caltex, Liquorland, Subway, Dominos and Brumby.
With an estimated investor return of some 8% in the first year and minimum investment of just $20,000, this low risk, low entry proposition is packaged to appeal to the Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) and mum and dad investors.
M/Group Managing Director, Mr Lloyd Clark, says security is paramount to this market and sourcing high yield product has been an increasing focus for the organisation.
“We are at a stage of the property cycle where investors err on the side of caution and are looking for opportunities with a sound track record and healthy returns,” he said.
“While M/Group has had notable success with the release of its apartment development funds, we recognise a market shift is imminent and likely to continue with increased interest in income producing investments.”
M/Group initially entered the asset funds market in 2013 with the acquisition of the strategically located Officeworks building in Western Australia’s south west city of Bunbury. The asset incorporated a blue-chip tenant, long lease and high forecast returns. The fund was fully subscribed within just weeks of its release, which spurred the appointment of James Collis as Director of the group’s asset fund company.
“The Darling Ridge Shopping Centre represents the first of several income producing opportunities we have been working on, where the company’s propensity for great design and strategic development locations is replaced by solid tenancies and measurable returns,” Mr Collis said.
“This is an excellent proposition for the SMSF. It also enables M/Group to work with investors across a number of opportunities.”
The Darling Ridge Shopping Centre is located at 309 Morrison Road Swan View in Western Australia. The Fund will own a single property and is not diversified by investment class, geographic location or exposure to different property sectors.
It incorporates a fully leased neighbourhood shopping centre with long-term, blue chip tenants occupying 76% of the property.
“We have set the low minimum investment of $20,000 to attract smaller investors and support portfolio diversification. It has been designed for today’s market conditions and I do believe the appeal will be significant.”
Settlement date for the property is scheduled for 21 September 2016, with fund distributions monthly.
