About: Hamersley Development Scheme

An Entity of Type: District108552138, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Hamersley Development Scheme was conceived in 1967 and built over the ensuing years as part of a major effort by the Government of Western Australia to force down the price of land elsewhere in the Perth metropolitan area by opening up and developing land for housing as quickly as possible. This was a response to upward pressures on land prices across the metropolitan area, including demand created by the growth of the Kwinana industrial district south of Perth and the establishment of the iron ore industry in northern Western Australia. By 1968 land speculation had also become a significant factor, with individuals and companies profiting by buying and selling released but undeveloped land.

  • The Hamersley Development Scheme was conceived in 1967 and built over the ensuing years as part of a major effort by the Government of Western Australia to force down the price of land elsewhere in the Perth metropolitan area by opening up and developing land for housing as quickly as possible. This was a response to upward pressures on land prices across the metropolitan area, including demand created by the growth of the Kwinana industrial district south of Perth and the establishment of the iron ore industry in northern Western Australia. By 1968 land speculation had also become a significant factor, with individuals and companies profiting by buying and selling released but undeveloped land. The scheme area was a region of 24 km² bounded by Hepburn Avenue, Marmion Avenue, North Perimeter Highway and Wanneroo Road, and consisted of the suburbs of Hamersley and Carine within the City of Stirling, and Warwick, Greenwood and Duncraig within the City of Joondalup.
