Project overview
The City has advertised a business plan regarding a potential $65 million residential development on vacant land at Lot 7020 adjacent to the Red Earth Arts Precinct.
The potential development includes 82 apartments of varying sizes, plus 1,730 sqm of community and retail space which has the potential to activate the Karratha CBD.
Community consultation has been undertaken and there has been a number of expressions of interest for apartments.
Whilst housing is not ordinarily a local government issue, this proposal has very clear linkages to the City’s approved Strategic Community Plan 2020-2030 and the City has been working proactively to assist with solving this issue alongside regularly advocating with State and Federal Government, critical industry groups, real estate agents and other key stakeholders.
