First lots hit market at Wungong Reach

The state government says the first 18 lots in a 2,700 subdivision near Armadale will be sold from August 20, as part of its initiatives to provide more affordable housing in the metropolitan area.

 Housing Minister Troy Buswell said lots at the 311 hectare Wungong Reach development would be priced within the reach of first homebuyers.

Wungong Reach is a joint venture between the state government and national development giant Stockland.

“Public Private Partnerships are an important element of the State’s strategy and the joint venture at Wungong Reach is a great example of its practical application,” Mr Buswell said.

The Minister said the south-east metropolitan area was a key growth region for WA.

“Due to Wungong Reach’s location in a key growth corridor, affordable housing opportunities will be increasingly important,” he said.

“We are looking at innovative ways to meet this increased demand including developing smaller block sizes and smaller units.” 

The first 18 lots range in size from 300 sqm to 627 sqm. Further releases will occur as lots become available.
