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 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.

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).

Another Quest for M/Group
Following a series of oversubscribed investment fund releases, M/Group is seeking to raise $11.5million to support the development of a new apartment hotel with a secure 15-year lease to national operator, Quest.
The Ascot Quest Trust will develop a 112 key Quest Apartment hotel in Ascot. The prime high-profile corner site is strategically located at 266 Great Eastern Highway, near Perth Airport and enroute to the Perth CBD. The location will enable Quest to take advantage of its close proximity to Ascot racecourse, Optus Stadium, Crown Casino, Perth CBD and Perth airport and a number of arterial roads.
Development approval has already been secured with construction scheduled to commence early 2019.
It is the second Quest project undertaken by M/Group, following the company’s success earlier this year in raising $7.6million to develop a 90-key complex in Joondalup. This investment fund oversubscribed within weeks of its release and is now under construction.
M/Group Managing Director, Mr Lloyd Clark, says both projects represent the prospect of a secure investment in a strategic location.
“Quest is Australia’s leading apartment hotel operator, which is 80% owned by Singaporean serviced apartment group The Ascott Limited, a subsidiary of Real Estate giant CapitaLand. This means the secured 15-year lease with further 5-year options is extremely well supported, and the property itself has capital uplift supported by independent valuation,” he said.
“From an investor’s perspective, development risks have been significantly mitigated providing a strong and secure opportunity for investors.”
The overall investor return (IRR) is targeted at 15.4% over an estimated seven-year term and annual distributions are forecast to commence at 10% pa. M/Group is seeking investors with a minimum investment of $50,000 and multiples of $10,000 thereafter.
The property will be constructed by M/Group’s internal building division, M/Construction, which is also building the Quest Joondalup and has prior experience in the delivery of quality residential and serviced apartments. M/Construction was recently named Best New Builder by the Master Builders Association.
“Quest was established in Melbourne in 1988 with one property in Fitzroy, and today has over 150 properties in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji,” Mr Clark continued.
“We believe the Ascot location is a great fit with Quest’s ongoing growth model in WA, and M/Group is delighted to be entrusted by such a reputed operator to deliver on its next venture.”
M/Group is an integrated property company that has over $170 million of Investor funds under management with a projected asset value of approximately $1 billion.
The Ascot Quest Trust offer will open shortly and is expected to fill quickly.
