Mr GUNNER - 2009-08-18
Can you please update the House on developments occurring in the new Palmerston suburb of Bellamack?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Fannie Bay for his question. I am pleased to inform the House of the development currently under way in the new suburb of Bellamack. As the House would know, on 1 June we signed the development agreement with Urban Pacific and Brierty Consortium. On-site construction commenced that same day. The consortium had a launch and a family day at Marlow Lagoon on 4 July when the first 48 blocks were offered and sold off the plan.
The second release of lots in Bellamack is expected next month. These are the first of 234 lots in stage one of Bellamack already approved by the Development Consent Authority. Ultimately, Bellamack will provide approximately 670 lots, with 15% for affordable and social housing.
The crucial headworks of Bellamack are also proceeding. They are expected to be completed later this year. The headworks contract is valued at $5.7m, and was awarded to local company Wolpers Grahl in November last year. It includes power supply, rising mains, sewerage, and water mains. Bellamack is the first in our raft of four new suburbs in Palmerston in the coming years, to provide around 3700 new blocks of land.
