Evening Session

Day Session

Community Members,

Yolk Property Group is excited at the opportunity to develop Lot 9000 Bussell Hwy, Margaret River.
The precinct will be home to residential lots and a land lease lifestyle village plus a school, oval, open space, residential club house and facilities.

Your initial feedback and comments from sessions held in 2022 were appreciated. We listened and the current Structure Plan that is being advertised for public comment by the Shire of Augusta Margaret River has incorporated these.

MASTERPLAN

Masterplan

The evolution of the Structure Plan has taken into account early public input, and also responded to aspects that people perceive as being the Margaret River character. Some key aspects that are incorporated into the structure plan for Lot 9000 Bussell Highway include: • Visual buffer / separation from the Perimeter Road and Bussell Highway • Respecting the southern entrance into Margaret River • Responding to Council’s Hamlet Design Objectives • Average residential lot size in excess of 600sqm • Wider lot frontages proposed throughout estate to address Margaret River character • 29% Non-residential ‘Green Corridor’ Connections (Requirement 10%) • Mountain bike tracks • Retention of trees and introduction of substantial planting (new trees)

STRUCTURE PLAN

Structure Plan

The Structure Plan proposes the creation of 411 residential dwellings, and a land lease (retirement) site.
Incorporates ‘greenspace’ spines between residential nodes.
To deliver the amenity of the Clubhouse and large areas of open space, the proposed yield of the Structure Plan is appropriate. The plan has 53% of the site developed for dwelling/residential lots (net) 36ha of 67.6ha (site).

INNOVATION

Innovation

The estate will feature a number of exciting innovations including country club facilities, a land lease lifestyle village, and a tiny homes initiative.

Land Lease Lifestyle Village

Land Lease is a new ownership model allowing over age 55+ residents to own a home and lease the land it is on. The model is growing in popularity in WA based on the national leading model in Queensland for lifestyle villages.

The land lease model seeks to enable development of dwellings on concrete slabs, moving away from the standard modular homes of the past. This will also include development of facilities for exclusive use of the land lease community, while being fully integrated with the community country club.

Land lease lifestyle village will incorporate community facilities such as pool(s), a clubhouse, games room, arts and craft, mens shed, ten pin bowling, cinema, library, etc. The facilities will be controlled via a Local Development Plan for the site.

The co-location and integration of land lease lifestyle with residential (co-sharing of some facilities) is based on extensively researched leading international examples.

The community is designed to remove the trend of isolating the elderly. Studies have shown the benefits of intergenerational interactions – seniors feel more purposeful and young people benefit from the elders’ guidance and problem-solving skills. The result is a thriving community that enriches the lives of every generation.

Community Country Club

On the east coast of Australia there is a growing trend towards the inclusion of country club facilities in residential land estates.

These developments offer residents the opportunity to enjoy luxurious amenities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, function areas, and fitness centres all within their own community. The facilities enable social interaction which can lead to lasting friendships and a strong sense of belonging.

The integrated Country Club and Land Lease Lifestyle Village facilities will feature:

• Meeting Room(s)
• Gym
• Pool & Lap Pool
• Playground
• BBQ Facilities
• Tennis Courts
• Public Café
• Child Care Site

Tiny Home / Pilot Housing

The Structure Plan endeavours to build upon the tiny homes concept.
The concept seeks to deliver 8-12 small residential dwellings and is being pursued as a means to address affordable rental properties within the context of an established neighbourhood.

It is essential that the streetscape is not detrimentally impacted by the final built form. The main principles of the tiny home concept are:

• 4 dwellings on a single residential lot with a total of 4-6 people so there is no difference to a large family living on a lot.
• Home design with loft (no bedroom).
• Lots would not be titled and held under project ownership/single ownership.
• Provide affordable rental (dwelling product is not individually sold).
• Fit with the streetscape of the estate.
