The $43.1 million contract was awarded to Atlas following a Request for Tender that closed in May 2024.
Atlas Building's notable major projects in WA include Perth Arena and the NIB Stadium, Ashton Apartments in Claremont, East Village in Karrinyup, Eden West apartments in Perry Lakes and the redevelopment of Busselton Shopping Centre.
The Common Ground model provides a mix of permanent housing options for people who are experiencing homelessness, rough sleeping or on low incomes, along with wraparound support services and on-site management.
Mandurah Common Ground is the second facility of its kind being built in Western Australia and is due to become fully operational by late 2026. East Perth Common Ground is already under construction and is due to become fully operational by late 2025.
The 50 self-contained units, along with communal areas, onsite support services and commercial spaces, will be delivered over five storeys on Allnutt Street. Works will commence onsite by the end of 2024 and the project will take about two years to complete.
Tender processes will commence in mid-2025 to identify service providers to deliver property and tenancy management, along with onsite support services for Mandurah Common Ground.
Common Ground is a key priority of the State Government's All Paths Lead to a Home: Western Australia's 10 Year Strategy on Homelessness 2020–2030, which aims to improve outcomes for Western Australians experiencing, or at risk of homelessness.
