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).

Not All Land Estates Are The Same
How to make your Government incentives work harder for you
It’s an exciting time for land buyers! Government incentives have made it the most affordable time to build your own home in over a decade, and land options are plentiful across all four corridors of Perth’s metropolitan areas.
But before you dive into making the dream of building your own home a reality, it’s important to consider the long term value prospects of this extremely rare opportunity.
According to Mr John Wroth, Director of Monument parent company M/Group, your choice of estate today could have a massive impact on how much the home delivers in the future.
“These are unprecedented times for those looking to build their own home. The Government incentives could effectively save up to $70k on a house and land package, and we are already experiencing the thrust of buyers wanting to take advantage of the opportunities,” he said.
“However, not all land estates are the same and there are clear indicators that you can look for in an estate now that will give you a higher return when you’re ready to sell in the future.”
Here’s how you can increase the value of your Government incentives.
Stay close to the action
Homes in the inner suburbs of the city will invariably attract higher values than those on the fringes.
Equally, as the population grows and subdivisions expand, the inner suburbs will become more sought-after due to the limited supply of land availability.
People will always want to live closer to the action, and the closer you are, the higher the price you will achieve.
Look for good amenity
Being close to shopping centres, schools, transport and community infrastructure, such as parks and walking trails, will always add value to a home.
Today, some developers are investing a great deal into high-quality amenity and facilities that not only attract a thriving community but also gives residents a broader lifestyle experience that extends beyond their four walls.
Find something special
If an estate stands out for you now, chances are the future buyer of your home will feel the same.
Take notice of carefully considered features within an environment that help to create an important point of difference. This could be the deciding factor between your home and another when someone is considering a purchase.
Also make sure the estate isn’t too large. An over-supply of similar stock will increase the competition when your home hits the market.
Fastrack your investment potential
It’s easy to be swept away by the potential of an estate, but how long will it take to get the promised amenity.
Most estates progress in line with the number of lots sold, which means earmarked shopping centres and schools may be pushed out longer than you anticipate depending on market factors.
Ideally, find a location with established infrastructure. This will not only give you immediate access to the benefits the amenity provides, but also the assurance that your home ‘package’ is ready for sale when you choose to hand it over.
Not all estates are the same. Monument is a boutique land developer that offers infill land sites within established areas. It prides itself on delivering a well-considered development design that introduces something unique and special into the marketplace – enhancing future resale or rental prospects.
“Monument tries to tick all the boxes in terms of maintaining and improving property values for its owners. We design our estates around the environment’s natural topography, materials, rocks, trees and other plant life and we are always looking for ways to weave creativity and interest throughout our developments,” Mr Wroth continued.
“Our estates continue to attract a great deal of attention and it’s an added bonus to us that we can future-proof our buyers’ investment.”
Monument’s current land portfolio includes The Wedge in Wellard North, Atop in Beeliar and Hamelin Park in the coastal community of Secret Harbour with other opportunities coming on board in the near future.
