Singleton Beach Estate

Sorry Mei,
Bad habit. I always build in pairs.
Usually on duplex blocks, but I can’t find too many that work atm.

Redwing, I thought that was on the mydmap they included with the article. If that is the case, it will definitely impact on the area ??
But they did mention that it was all due to go ahead withing two years, so it could take two years before Amarillo starts ??
If its all two years down the track, there must be a political reason for releasing the information now..

Wow, awesome to see visionary sandgropers leading the way in this area. If there’s room in this co-operative that’s being suggested, I’d like in as well!

What’s a little -ve cf between half a dozen people?

Bob

I saw it….
I read it….
That whole area is going to take off now…..and become a real hub of activity.
Anywhere you poke a stick at in WA seems to be going off.

Has anyone mentioned the bu*ble word yet ??

Dear Derek,

1. Like you, I used to think so until I re-visited Singleton Beachside Estate recently together with Dave.

2. To my own surprise, Singleton is actually located with the City of Rockingham Shire and not under Mandurah, as indicated by the local sign-posting. This is can be further confirmed with a Street Directory for Perth.

3. This has specially significance for me as it does make a big difference to where I am developing my properties in order to qualify for the Australian Permanent Residency.

4. Like some of the forumites, I was once wondering why the land at Singleton is relatively cheap a year or 2 ago, until I was told to keep away from investing in that area as that there was some unconfirmed reports that some of the land were previously reported to be contaminated. Exactly where, my associate in Perth did not specifiy but was told that the adverse publicity made in the local newspapers some 15-20 years ago.

5. The views at Singleton Beachside Estate as well as Singleton Heights Estate looks good to me.
However, I am still trying to verify the unconfirmed reports about the land contamination before I actually decide to invest there.

6. For your kind update,please.

7. Thank you.

regards,
Kenneth KOH

Gosh thats interesting about the contamination…..

Anyone known the area going back many years?
Ausprop, your parents had a hosue there??

Was there any industry that has since been closed down?
What could the possible contamination be: asbestos? chemical? PCBs’? byproduct from tannery works ( Robb’s Jetty area)?

The whole area used to be sleepy sidings off the main road where some lucky few has holiday and beach shacks. ( Golden Bay, Singleton, Madora Bay. even Mandurah)

Hi Kenneth,

I dont live in Singleton, but have been researching this southern coastal area for some time now.

Land Contamination, I think this is an absolute nonsense!!!

What industry is in Singleton??? Garage Station at Entrance

Council, and also various Government departments, ie environment, land and management have no documented reports whatsoever regarding contaminated sites in Singleton.

Also stated that they would doubt this would be possible considering there is no industry in area.

As I personally see it, Singleton is a great area and would be a shame for you to miss out on an opportunity to buy undervalued coastal land.

If you are still concerned I recommend that you contact Rockingham Council and various government departments and also local RE Agent (Draco) who has sold in area for many years and can provide background info.

Regards
Marisa

Hi Kenneth,

I am with the rest of the forumites regarding contamination.

Your informant would have been speaking about the New South Wales town of Singleton and it’s mining activities.

For example: NSW Dept. Environment & Conservation Auth.
http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/soe/97/ch2/9_1.htm

“Surface and groundwater systems in the region show signs of stress. Two particular aspects of the region’s water needs that are of interest are the quantity and the quality of water available, particularly in relation to salinity, nutrient and bacterial levels:

* because of excessive bacterial levels in the Hunter River at Aberdeen, Muswellbrook and Singleton in 1994-95, these parts of the river were determined as unsuitable for primary contact recreation. All sites except Murrurundi and Singleton met the guidelines for secondary contact recreation, stock watering and irrigation usage. Water quality at a number of other sites has been determined as unsuitable for human consumption without further treatment”

WA’s Singleton is absolutely gorgeous and I am envious of all of you that have interest there [cap]

Cheers

Hi

Interesting, what kind of problems, and not sure which estate? Are you referring to Bayshore?

How long have you lived in Singleton and what are your thoughts on the area.

Thanks, M

Hi justgjt

Thanks for that information on Bayshore.

There is lack of infrastructure not only in Singleton but also Secret Harbour, Golden Bay and Madora Bay however this has not stopped demand for these areas and I see this continuing.
I would say this is probably more to do with lifestyle, the beach thing. Hegney Group basically stating the same and have recommended all these areas on many occasions.

From what I have seen along this coastal strip Port Kennedy is really the only area with reasonable infrastructure.

Cheers, M
