WITHERS RENEWAL PROGRAM

Withers is set to see ongoing changes aimed at improving housing, public spaces and investment in the area.

For many years, people in Withers and the wider Bunbury community have wanted to see more improvements in the suburb.

The State Government owns a number of properties in Withers and is working with the City of Bunbury on plans to improve and redevelop parts of the area.

The Central Withers Local Structure Plan looks at ways to:

• Redevelop unused or underused government land

• Create more housing options

• Allow for more homes in suitable areas

• Improve parks, pathways and public spaces

• Make it easier to walk and drive through the suburb

• Look at creating a new community hub

• Make future development easier

• Improve safety through better planning and design

WHAT COULD THIS MEAN FOR HOUSE PRICES?

When a suburb receives new investment, improved housing and better public spaces, it can become more attractive to buyers and investors.

Over time, this can help increase demand for property in the area, which may support stronger house prices.

There is no guarantee that every property will increase in value at the same rate, but improvements to the suburb can have a positive effect on buyer interest and how the area is viewed.

For current property owners, this makes Withers a suburb worth watching as the renewal program continues.

A SUBURB TO WATCH

Withers is already close to schools, shops, sporting facilities, the Bunbury Health Campus and the coast.

With more investment and redevelopment planned, the suburb could become more appealing to buyers, sellers and investors in the years ahead.
