³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ civil engineering
company Reinforced Earth is building a new Western Australian manufacturing hub
near Northam after purchasing a 4.02 hectare site at DevelopmentWA’s Avon
Industrial Park, east of the town’s centre.
Reinforced Earth
specialises in the design and supply of proprietary retaining wall solutions
and buried concrete arches widely used in the mining and civil market.
They will build various
custom engineered products at the site at Avon Industrial Park and will employ
up to 10 people with plans to expand in the future.
Northam is the gateway to
WA’s Goldfields and also has road access to the iron ore-rich Pilbara while
only being 90 minutes from Perth.
Avon Industrial Park is a
200ha estate adjacent to the Great Eastern Highway and Trans-Australian
Railway.
Created specifically to
meet the needs of businesses servicing the rural, resources and mineral
processing markets, it is part of a wider 470ha park developed in partnership
with the Wheatbelt Development Commission and the Avon Community Development
Foundation.
Businesses already located
within the Park include DE Engineers, Waste Equipment Solutions, Coast to Coast
Truck Wreckers, CHC Scaffolding, Interquip, Precision Mechanical and Nash
Mining & Civil Equipment Rental.
Adding to the appeal for
businesses is the Shire of Northam’s Industry Attraction Fund, which offers
grants of up to $1 million to bring new businesses to the local area and
support existing businesses in regional expansion.
Stage 2 general industrial
lots of up to 10.6ha at Avon Industrial Park are available, with requirements
for larger lots within the estate able to be discussed with DevelopmentWA. Lots
are priced from $240,000 excluding GST for a 2.7ha site.
Stage 2 lots are connected
to power and scheme water, as well as access to broadband communications.

As stated by
Lands Minister John Carey:
“The McGowan Government is
focused on utilising Government-owned land to deliver both economic and social
benefits to the WA community.”
“The Avon Industrial Park
is a great example of the way the McGowan Government is utilising its land
assets to drive economic growth, particularly in regional WA.
“Businesses are starting
to recognise the value of Northam as a regional hub to better service mining
and agricultural markets in WA.
“I also want to
acknowledge the Shire of Northam for taking the initiative in trying to attract
and support business in their community through their Industry Action Fund –
it’s what good local government is all about.”
