Hesperia and Heidelberg Materials are progressing a proposal to unlock land for residential development in Ellenbrook, as the state government continues to roll out its $80 million infrastructure fund. 

Premier Roger Cook today announced the government would support the delivery of more than 5,500 new homes, via its infrastructure development fund and market led proposal (MLP) pathway.

Ben Lisle-led Hesperia has entered a consortium with Heidelberg to unlock a significant parcel of land west of Ellenbrook for housing, which is currently subject to Heidelberg’s sand mining lease.

The proposal also involves the restoration of the former Gnangara Pines plantation to Banksia Woodland.
