H&N Perry are proud to offer for tender, the lease of the historic Dwellingup Hotel/Motel. This is a rarely offered opportunity to own and develop a prominent business in the tourist precinct of Dwellingup.

This grand building was originally built in 1911 and is rich in historical value to both the Dwellingup community and the timber industry. Located in a high profile position on the corner of Marrinup and Newton Streets, the Dwellingup Hotel consists of a bar area, extensive dining room, commercial kitchen, beer garden, 6 hotel suites with communal bathroom facilities, 7 ensuite motel units plus a 2 bedroom Manager's Quarters with a pool all on a huge parcel of land comprising 4,048m2 in total. Today it is the only State Hotel that is owned solely by the community.

Located about 1 hour south of Perth, the town of Dwellingup has approximately 500 permanent residents. The hotel is heavily patronised by a large number of mining employees from the nearby Boddington Mine sites. Nestled amongst the jarrah forrests, Dwellingup is also an extremely popular camping destination and during holiday periods the population can swell by several thousand people. Weekends attract many day trippers to the area. The site is nearly opposite the train station used by the popular Hotham Valley Tourism Railway.

The vision of the hotel owners, is to attract a tenant who will facilitate the restoration and upgrading of the hotel in order to cater to the expanding customer base. The premises would be ideal for use as a boutique brewery and the hotel's significant Western Australian history is a natural drawcard for tourists.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to become a part of history as the Publican of the Dwellingup Community Hotel. Tenders close at 4.00pm on Friday 30th March 2012. If you'd like more information or would like to receive a Tender Pack, please call Brian Matthews at H&N Perry on 9535 1822.

Dawesville residents may have noticed a hive of construction activity in their area recently and been wondering what is happening. Machinery has been creating a new landscape between Dandaragan Drive and Bailey Boulevard to construct new access roads that will link through to the Dawesville Deviation.

After receiving confirmation of the completion of a sewer pump station, commissioned by the Water Corporation, in mid 2011, Florida Partnership was then able to commence the earthworks for the construction of the new roads. Approval was also granted by the City of Mandurah for the neighbourhood shopping centre precinct plans. These plans have been endorsed by the Western Australian Planning Commission.

The works required a great deal of pre-planning on behalf of Florida Partnership. Before the machinery moved in, a fauna relocation management plan was undertaken to ensure the protection of many important native species in the area. A number of vertebrates were trapped and relocated to nearby Yalgorup National Park. This task was undertaken by an experienced zoologist and veterinarian to ensure the safety and well being of the animals.

Having completed this relocation program, the commencement of the road, drainage works and services to adjacent areas was undertaken.

The new roads will come as a welcome relief to many parents of students at Ocean Road Primary School and Dawesville Catholic Primary School who have become accustomed to waiting in long traffic queues when delivering and retrieving their children from school. Until now, parents have only had one entry and exit from the highway to the schools, as required by the approved Outline Development Plan. After a drawn out approval process the road works are expected to be completed next month.
