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).

City Resolves to Sell Land for New 400-Home Residential Development
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is progressing with the sale of land to M/Group for their proposed new $158 million residential housing development in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Following Council’s Ordinary Council Meeting resolution on 24 April and the subsequent public notice period, Chief Executive Officer Andrew Brien, and Mayor John Bowler on behalf of the City signed and executed an option agreement with M/Group to sell the City owned freehold land to M/Group for the market value of $3,409,540.
Integrated property group M/Group is proposing to build a 400-home residential development in a staged three-year development on 17.2-ha site – Lots 9003, 9004, and 9005 Hart Kerspien Drive.
Mayor John Bowler said M/Group’s proposal strongly aligns with the City’s strategic objectives to make land available for residential development, target population growth, and enhance liveability in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
“The City is proud to have made land available for development, and we are looking forward to this high-quality residential development coming to Kalgoorlie-Boulder.”
“Housing residential workers is always a priority for the City and given the current accommodation shortage, exploring options for housing development and investment is imperative to ensuring a strong local workforce for the future.”
“The residential lifestyle village model similar to that proposed by M/Group has been used at Osprey Village in Karratha to provide affordable housing and accommodation and could see housing developed and available on the site in a staged format within 12-18 months.”
“The development supports a family-friendly community for essential workers and their families to call home, and in turn supports the economic growth of our city.”
Mayor Bowler also confirmed the proposed development aligns with the residential housing shortage evidenced in the recent Land and Housing Position Paper, which the City partnered with the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other key organisations to produce.
The position paper confirmed a future need of approximately 410 dwellings per annum to support a residential population growth of 3.1% and major project investment signaled over the next decade.
M/Group Managing Director Lloyd Clark said it was exciting to be able to bring such a high quality residential development to Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
“Our lifestyle village will consist of one, two, three, and four-bedroom homes in a modern, family-friendly community. It will feature significant landscaping and public open spaces and is designed to integrate with and add to the amenity of the surrounding area.”
“M/Group has a strong track record of providing high-quality residential development, and we are thrilled to be able to help meet housing demand in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.”
M/Group estimates their spend on the project to be approximately $152 million, of which it estimates half would be spent locally in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Economic modelling shows the total output including all direct, supply-chain, and consumption effects, is estimated to increase by up to $126 million. The project is also expected to support 100 jobs in the first year and over 80 in each of the subsequent second and third years.
To further support the proposed development the City has submitted a $4 million funding application to the WA State Government’s Infrastructure Development Fund to assist with the required sewerage network expansion.
The City owned and operated sewerage network is currently at capacity due to continuing growth in the region, and without expansion works the proposed residential development will not be able to proceed.
An expansion of the City’s sewerage network is estimated to cost $5.6 million, with the application for funding being in addition to a proposed $1.6 million co-contribution by M/Group and the City.
The City’s application is for stream three of the Infrastructure Development Fund Unlocking Regional Worker Accommodation Opportunities. This fund aims to remove infrastructure constraints for residential housing development and assist with the provision of housing for key workers in regional towns.
Mayor Bowler said at present, infrastructure servicing costs in regional Western Australia are a major constraint for greenfield sites, and without funding support, projects that need significant new infrastructure are not financially viable.
“If the application for funding is successful the sewerage system expansion would also allow future residential development to occur on an additional 49.7ha of nearby land.”
Construction of the sewerage expansion is estimated to be complete within 8-10 months of commencement, with M/Group advising housing could be developed and available in a staged format within 12 months of securing the land.
M/Group is already seeking expressions of interest from parties who may wish to purchase or rent a property in the new residential development.
Standard City development application notifications, applications, and approval processes will apply prior to works commencing, this may include further public consultation as per development legislation requirements.
