Description
The State Government’s ambitious Pilbara Cities plan aims to see Karratha evolve from a resources town to a dynamic, revitalised, modern city with a potential population of 50,000 people. Supporting this vision, the Madigan Road Residential Estate is designed to create a sustainable and affordable urban area providing for diverse housing types.
The 67.7 ha Madigan Road Residential Estate will deliver an estimated 1,250 new dwellings and provide for a mixed-use local neighbourhood centre comprising up to 1,000 m² of new ground floor retail.
Up to this time, Wormall Civil has completed construction of Stage 1A of the estate, creating 140 single residential lots.
The directive to fast track the development resulted in construction occurring in advance of critical infrastructure improvements planned by service providers, and has required the use of nonconventional development strategies.
