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).

History Begets History as Landmark Renewal Gives Heirloom to Fremantle
Fremantle has a new Heirloom, following the completion of a monumental heritage rejuvenation project that was undertaken by boutique property company Match, together with joint-venture capital partner Sirona Capital, to transform the iconic and heritage significant Dalgety Wool Stores along Queen Victoria Street into Western Australia’s largest residential heritage renewal of its kind.
The opportunity to develop the 94-year old, three-storey structure into New York-style industrial warehouse apartments was identified by Match in 2007, following a string of successful and celebrated heritage renewal projects introduced by the company, including Home in Perth, Maymont in Maylands and The Clocktower in Inglewood.
Mr Lloyd Clark, Managing Director of Match parent company M/Group, said the “Heirloom” project was incredibly challenging but was just too important to Perth not to pursue.
“Match entered the Perth market in a period where apartment living was only starting to be recognised as a genuine lifestyle choice and people were only beginning to seek out signature residences as opposed to large-scale ‘cookie-cutter’ environments,” he said.
“The company’s propensity to take brave steps in development worked hand in hand with its mission to save Perth streetscapes from excessive repetitive structures. We grew a fascination for identifying and salvaging what we considered to be some of the City’s most treasured heritage buildings. We knew the risks involved in tackling these projects, but saw it as an opportunity and didn’t want to see amazing architecture be left derelict and eventually deteriorate, as is often the case. The Dalgety Wool Stores definitely fell into this category and its completion is without question our biggest achievement in the company’s 15 years history.”
The heritage listed Dalgety Wool Stores was originally designed in 1922 and constructed in 1923. The building received a single storey extension along Beach Street in 1942, with a three-storey structure and extension to raise the entire floor level in 1944. This included the infamous saw tooth roof structure, which has been restored in the heritage renewal process. The building was subject to some additional works leading up to the completion of the main structure and sunroof in 1950-52.
To support Match’s $68million refurbishment, Sirona Capital was invited to join the endeavor as joint-venture capital partner in 2014 and the project emerged as a key development in the City of Fremantle’s $1billion investment plan that would open activity onto Beach Street and extend the City’s life-centre along its gateway.
Sirona Capital’s managing director Matthew McNeilly said the partnership with Match had delivered an outstanding residential development that was both unique to Fremantle and in keeping with the city’s character and history.
The Heirloom renewal retains much of the building’s original historic features, such as the century-old jarrah beams, brickwork and the infamous saw tooth roof structure. An original wool press has been restored and is displayed as an instalment, and homage is payed to the building’s importance to the wool trade in murals and artworks throughout.
The new apartments vary in size and configuration with a starting price of $495,000. The residential complex is already 80% sold out with sales expected to escalate now that people can see the end product.
“Heritage fabric is invaluable and sales have reflected the fact that these apartments cannot be replicated. This translates into specialised boutique product that can often withstand varying market conditions because demand is isolated,” Mr Clark said.
“Heirloom has been a mammoth undertaking and we consider it a highly successful restoration of a magnificent building that frankly deserves a new life.”
The Heirloom renewal is designed by project Architect, Dominic Snellgrove from Cameron Chisholm Nicol, who is a recognised Australian leader in integrated architectural and recipient of Australia’s most prestigious architectural award, the AIA Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Architecture. It was constructed by top tier-tier construction company, Built, which has worked on some of the country’s most high profile heritage projects, including the Old Treasury Buildings (WA), QT Sydney (NSW), Queen Victoria Building refurbishment (NSW), Art Gallery of NSW (NSW), and the Melbourne GPO and H&M flagship store (Vic).
Heirloom will be officially opened in the coming weeks with residents expected to move in in early January 2017.
