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).

Wodonga Plaza to Increase its Fashion Stakes
Wodonga Plaza has started to release information on a new range of fashion retailers to bolster the Centre’s fashion offering, with Cotton-On Mega confirming its commitment to open later this year.
The announcement is the first in a line of the fashion giants to be confirmed just weeks after Best & Less opened its doors and details of Wodonga Plaza’s new 140 seat food court.
Centre Manager, Ms Cherie Daly, said the new retail tenancies will complement the shopping centre’s existing fashion outlets and take the environment one step closer towards a fully tenanted community shopping hub.
“Our new owner, M/Group, is looking to create the best shopping experience in the region. Wodonga Plaza will be a ‘one-stop-shop’ environment, where you can pick up your groceries, grab a bite to eat and enjoy a variety of fashion possibilities,” she said.
“The new retail tenancies will provide a full range of fashion options for babies through to menswear and women’s style. We are already receiving great community feedback in relation to the changes taking place and, once complete, we hope to go back to the site’s historic ‘sales yard’ roots to deliver a genuine community hub and meeting place.”
Cotton-On Mega will take approximately 1100sq.m space adjacent to the new Best & Less store.
M/Group Director, Mr James Collis, said while the new tenancies are a great retail bonus for the community, the underlying benefits in employment and driving the local economy are significant.
“We are really thrilled that M/Group’s $2million investment in refurbishing Wodonga Plaza is already seeing benefits for the community. Investment in regional environments such as Wodonga often has an extensive multiplier effect,” he said.
“We are delighted that our new retailers are already looking to source new staff, engage suppliers and encourage local spend. Keeping the funds local will help to drive the area’s economy and, ultimately, create more jobs outside the Centre. It’s fantastic to see this all play out so quickly after out arrival to the town mid last year.”
The new fashion retailers will join Target, Autograph, BagsOnly, Jay Jays, Just Jeans, Millers, Nation Street & Surf, Noni B, Spendless Shoes, Suzanne Grae and Williams.
Cotton-On Mega is scheduled to arrive at the Centre in September 2018 with new announcements to be on other fashion brands in the coming week.
