The Western Australian Government has approved the first three precinct plans for its large-scale redevelopment of East Wanneroo, marking the first stage of a project that will ultimately deliver up to 50,000 new homes over the next 50 years. This transformation is expected to fuel significant growth across Perth’s northern suburbs, with new housing, infrastructure and community facilities on the way. Click here to read the full story.
The changing face of homelessness
Did you know that one in ten Australians say they’re currently on the brink of losing their home? With national Homelessness Week ending today, it’s a timely reminder that homelessness isn’t always visible. It’s not just people sleeping on the streets; it’s also those constantly on the move between temporary arrangements, couch surfing and sleeping in cars, etc. Working in a profession that sees us selling homes for a living, awareness about the homelessness crisis in WA and around the nation is never far from our minds.
New listing now open for inspection!
A few weeks ago, we featured a sneak preview of Unit 2, 26 Gillon Street, Karawara. We’re delighted to report that this modern, comfortable over 55’s living property is now open for inspection. Scroll down for Open Home times and click here for more information, including photos and the floor plan.
