Project Details: This initiative will see the development of two new residences as part of the broader Northwater Development, which is expected to spur further development of the remaining available lots on Parnaa View. A thorough cashflow analysis conducted by Shire Officers projects a positive Return on Investment for the Shire, making this project a key solution to the housing shortage while offering an opportunity for the Council to consider replacing its aging residential assets.
To support this significant housing project, the Council has resolved to apply for a $500,000 loan from the Western Australian Treasury Corporation. This loan, combined with a Gascoyne Development Commission RED Grant of $182,855, and additional funds from the Council’s own budget, will finance the development.
This project marks a significant step towards improving living conditions for workers in Carnarvon and fostering economic growth in the region. The Shire of Carnarvon remains committed to enhancing the quality of life for its residents and looks forward to the successful completion of this project.
