- $4.1 million State Government grant to Shire of Shark Bay
- Completion of 12 one-bedroom independent living units for seniors
- Record $5.1 billion commitment in housing and homelessness services
The Shire of Shark Bay has recently completed 12 more social homes for seniors in the coastal town of Denham, thanks to a $4.1 million capital grant from the State Government.
The Shark Bay Aged Housing Project is intended to meet the significant and growing need for well-located, appropriate and affordable seniors housing for local communities in the Shire of Shark Bay.
The 12 one-bedroom independent living units were built by Carnarvon-based Northern Aspect Construction and are well located next to the recently established community hub.
The State Government has committed $5.1 billion in housing and homelessness measures and added more than 3,000 social homes across the State, with more than 1,000 currently under contract or construction.
As stated by Housing and Works Minister John Carey:
"These independent living units will allow current and future tenants to age in place and enjoy quality amenities and support services in Shark Bay.
"Since July 2021, our government has executed more than $200 million in capital grants contracts.
"The delivery of these homes is a great example of State and local governments working together to get a positive outcome for the community."
