    hi all,

    http://www.perthnow.com.au/business/land-acquisition-starts-for-anketell-port-and-industrial-area-in-pilbara/story-e6frg2r3-1226351023814

    would this recent announcement once the actual port is built, increase yields and or values in the roebourne area if it goes ahead?

    or would it just flow on more to karratha?

    Any flow-on effect will be into Karratha.

    Roebourne has limited appeal and pretty much all people will be wanting to live in Karratha where services etc are based and the government has distinct leaning towards. Utilities to Roebourne would be stretched to the max and infrastructure overheads extremely expensive.

    Can't see anything positive for Roebourne out of this.

    Has about as much appeal as living at the local tip. There’s a small subdivision almost finished now I think. Not sure what the block values are or whose bought/owns them.

    Town has a high percentage of indigenous residents with few problems if I recall correctly. Unlike South Hedland with it’s indigenous youth problems and high crime.

    Pt Sampson, Wickham will do alright out of it initially.

    I know the Pilbara very well, you don’t want to buy anything in Roebourne.

    I wouldn't even stop to buy fuel in Roebourne and that was 20 years ago.
