Back in May 2011, the Department of Housing in partnership with Jaxon released new residential blocks of land in South Hedland under “South Hedland New Living”.

The South Hedland New Living – Urban Renewal Project is the largest urban renewal initiative ever undertaken in regional Western Australia. The project is transforming South Hedland into a desirable residential address for the community that supports our state’s most important industries.

LMCD are privileged to have built / building 16 of the new lots released in the South Hedland land ballot mid last year. We would all have to agree; South Hedland has an exciting future and much to offer us -- its residents.

We’re very proud to call South Hedland home.

LMCD are pleased to have recently handed over two new homes once again in 12 weeks from start to finish. Our General Manager, Helen Farrell handed over the keys to Scott Messer of Lot 241 Lapwing Way and Thomas Holden of Lot 260 Kennedy Street.

Scott and Thomas signed up for our “Complete Turnkey Packages” and their new homes included all the external concrete hard standings, cyclonic fencing and landscaping. Both worked hard to pick all their interior and exterior fittings and fixtures from our Selections document at an early stage of the building process, which made scheduling and ordering everything much easier.

LMCD would like to thank Scott and Thomas for their prompt payments and we wish them well in their new homes.

Big thanks to Hayden Crawford from Crawford Realty, who in addition to recently selling all three units in LMCD's Acacia Way Property Development, Hayden has now received full asking price offers for all four of the units in our newest property development currently under construction on the corner of Brodie Crescent and Beacon Close, South Hedland.

This South Hedland new property development is due to be completed during February 2012.

LMCD's own new property development in Acacia Way, South Hedland consists of 3 brand new 4 bedroom x 2 bathroom homes. All 3 homes have now been sold off the plan before a shovel has even been put in the ground.

The amazing house designs by Dean Muller (LMCD's in-house designer) maximised the site's opportunity and some excellent property marketing by Hayden Crawford of Crawford Realty enabled LMCD to achieve the full asking price of $949,000 for all 3 houses. Big thanks to all parties involved. The three new homes will be completed and handed over to their new owners during March 2012.

For any prospectus buyers who are looking to buy property in the Hedland area and missed out on the Acacia Way development, LMCD have 2 new homes for sale in our property development of 4 new homes on the corner of Brodie Crescent and Beacon Close in South Hedland.

For more information, contact Hayden on 0488 070 067.

Building a new house in 12 weeks - Start to Finish!. LMCD have just handed over the keys to the owner of a newly build home in record time!

Diane Franklin, local Port Hedland ANZ Bank Manager signed up LMCD to construct her new home in South Hedland mid 2011 and the building license approval notice was issued to LMCD on the 16th August 2011. Construction commenced on Saturday the 27th August 2011 and now, only 80 days (12 weeks) later, we have just handed over the keys to another very satisfied LMCD customer.

The house we built for Diane in South Hedland is a great example of our "full turnkey package" that includes; fencing, landscaping, external concrete and a complete internal fit-out consisting of blinds, carpets, tiles, air-conditioning units and much more.

We would like to express our gratitude to Diane for helping the build process go as smoothly as possible and for literally paying us the same day we raised invoices - amazing! Thanks to Helen Farrell (our General Manager) and all the LMCD staff and importantly our dedicated and outstanding subcontract crew. Great effort boys!

As construction starts to pick up pace on the new Kennedy Street, South Hedland land development and two very large LMCD blue containers are placed in the area where LMCD have started building on 9 of the 30 vacant blocks of land, Len and Helen take a moment to celebrate.

“Len and I are so proud. We are the first to put up signs, first to lay the slabs, and now we’re the first builder to have wall frames standing on two houses already.”

Helen Farrell, LMCD General Manager.

LMCD have certainly made a good start building the new land development in South Hedland. Pictured above - Len McDonnell with his two daughters

In addition to Len McDonnell being the company's registered builder, we are pleased to announce that our General Manager, Helen Farrell has recently completed her application to become a registered builder in WA.

We wish her well with the process.
