The Peel Business Park in Nambeelup has reached its first major milestone with Stage One of the development now complete.
Stage One saw the completion of the first 10 lots in the business park, along with bulk earthworks, civil works and trunk power infrastructure.
Eight of the 10 lots have been sold to a range of local organisations and businesses including Westurn Engineering, Mandurah Glass, Bells Engines, the Shire of Murray’s Agri-Innovation Precinct and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services’ Bushfire Centre of Excellence.
Lands Minister Ben Wyatt said the development is driving economic growth and supporting jobs in the region.
“Stage 1 has supported more than 300 jobs during construction and with the first of the businesses and organisations moving into this innovative industrial precinct a further 160 long-term local jobs are expected to be created," he said.
“The $49 million Transform Peel initiative aims to drive economic growth in the Peel Region to create more than 33,000 jobs across a diverse range of industries and inject up to $1 billion a year into the WA economy by 2050.”
With the first lots now finished, contracts have been recently issued to Total Eden for landscaping and to Peel-based contractor Wormall Civil for offsite water and sewer extensions.
