In collaboration with Noongar Mia Mia, NXT TEC. will build an 11-unit residential complex for Aboriginal Elders utilising its NXT® Building System.
The project will raise the bar for sustainable housing standards, and will utilise 100% Western Australian labour and suppliers.
Development Application follows on from NXT TEC.’s successful completion of home in five weeks in Anketell.
11 February 2025: NXT TEC., a global leader in precast building technology, has received Development Approval (DA) for its residential housing complex with Western Australia’s premier Aboriginal-owned community housing provider, Noongar Mia Mia. The Woodbridge Project will revolutionise housing for Aboriginal Elders and their carers in Western Australia.
The residential complex, built using the NXT® Building System, will comprise 11 units, including 7 two-bedroom and 4 studio units. The two-bedroom units will feature open-plan living, a double-height void, and a second bedroom on the upper level, designed to accommodate carers. All units meet Livable Housing Gold Standards for accessibility, tailored to support elderly residents. Each unit will have its own outdoor space and garden, complemented by communal gathering areas set within the development’s native landscape palette. The complex will achieve a NatHERS 7-star energy rating, with solar panels and off-peak hot water systems.
The housing complex will provide secure, quality housing for Aboriginal Elders who would otherwise not have access to culturally safe housing and forms a critical part of Noongar Mia Mia’s mission to provide homes for Aboriginal Elders to reduce financial and housing stress, improve quality of life, wellbeing and health, and recognise contributions to community.
Commenting on the DA, Natasha Di Ciano, Chairman and Managing Director at NXT TEC. said: “At the heart of NXT TEC.’s mission is to provide high-quality, sustainable and affordable housing for those who need it most. We are excited to be partnering with Noongar Mia Mia on this important initiative, and look forward to commencing the build.”
Jasmine Kadic, Chair for Noongar Mia Mia added: “We are excited to come together with NXT TEC. to build not just houses, but homes for our Elders. This is a significant step forward in ensuring that our people have access to quality housing that reflects their dignity and heritage. We are looking forward to starting this journey and creating spaces where our Elders can thrive within the Noongar Mia Mia community."
Once the building permit is received, the Woodbridge Project will commence. The project will create up to 40 direct jobs during construction.
