Mount Pleasant

Boutique developers Norup + Wilson have been making a name for themselves across Perth for a number of years, having now amassed a portfolio that spans far and wide, with over half a billion dollars on the books.&nbsp;

Headed by Director’s John Norup and Dave Wilson, the group focuses on the owner-occupier, &nbsp;paying particular attention to the standard and range of first-class amenities on offer within their multi-level communities.&nbsp;

It’s been no different for the group’s imposing 21-storey community on the high-point of the coveted Mount Pleasant and Applecross peninsula - having attracted the interest of buyers not only for its enviable location.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203919]

“In order for a community to function efficiently and happily, an enormous amount of careful thought and effort needs to be invested in the planning, design and built-form solutions to which they lead,” said Wilson.&nbsp;

“From the outset of this ambitiously innovative residential development, my focus has been on ensuring that all the community facilities integrate seamlessly with the private living areas. In this way, resident privacy and security are maximised as elegantly as are the shared benefits of the resort-quality these facilities provide.”

“Our goal is to set an unrivalled benchmark in apartment living.”

The action begins across the ground floor, transitioning into a destination entertainment piazza featuring an eclectic assortment of cuisines and experiences, with a number of restaurants already operating on the doorstep of The Precinct, and a handful still to come.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203923]

More often than not, developments focus their private amenity offering around the pool. The Precinct has instead incorporated the facilities into distinct zones throughout, allowing residents to fully enjoy each space.&nbsp;

Reminiscent of the finest resorts across the world, The Precinct is home to an indoor and outdoor gym, a running track, a swimming pool, Bocci pit, cabana daybeds, Teppanyaki barbecues, a residents lounge and library, a wine room and a kid’s play room.&nbsp;

For the exclusive use of Sky Residents from levels 17 to 21, a Sky Lounge is also part of The Precinct, encompassing some of the best views on the west coast.&nbsp;

“The only difference between this peaceful escape from the everyday and the kind of relaxing, five-star resort you’d find in some distant tropical paradise, is that this one is yours. Your own piece of paradise,” Wilson said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203920]

The Precinct stands as the most prominent landmark in the Canning Bridge Precinct, commanding views of every facet of the city, from Kings Park and the CBD, to the converging Swan and Canning Rivers and the distant escarpment to the east.&nbsp;

Norup + Wilson chose the landmark site to maximise the Melville Council’s $235 million redevelopment vision for the precinct. Over the next ten years the Canning Bridge area is expected to be transformed with an expanded train station, river ferry and revitalised town centre on par with what was witnessed at Subiaco and East Perth.&nbsp;

"Your own piece of paradise": Inside the Mount Pleasant apartments with resort-inspired amenities

In a bid to improve housing supply and affordability, the Western Australian Government further built on the states rebates for off the plan apartments back in May this year.&nbsp;

Conceived as part of the state’s largest budget, the new $50,000 rebate is in place for purchasers of off the plan apartments until the end of October 2023.&nbsp;

There is a sliding scale for concessions for a pre-construction contract entered into between 1 June 2022 and 24 October 2023.

Buyers will see 100 per cent of the duty paid by the WA Government if the property is&nbsp;valued at $500,000 or less, capped at a maximum of $50,000

There will be between 100 per cent and 50 per cent of the duty paid if the property is valued at more than $500,000 but less than $600,000.

Then from $600,000 plus, 50 per cent of the duty is paid, capped at a maximum of $50,000.

Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan said the budget measure was focused on lifting housing supply while addressing unaffordability.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=205534]

“The measures would create a pipeline of more affordable homes into the future, while also providing greater assistance to those seeking to purchase homes at the affordable end of the market, and aim to smooth the construction pipeline beyond the current boom in activity,” he said.&nbsp;

Stirling Capital's Cirque Duet has apartments that will see buyers pay $0 stamp duty. Prices start from $495,000 for the one-bedroom stock in the resort-inspired Mount Pleasant development.

Conceived as twin towers, Cirque Duet residences are connected above street level through an expansive podium of more than 3,000 sqm, housing the project's extensive amenity offering.&nbsp;

From a heated swimming pool to a children’s playground, Cirque Duet offers up some of the best Perth has to offer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191424]

The podium also features a spa and sauna, a gym, private dining rooms, cabanas, a cocktail bar, and barbecue facilities.&nbsp;

The amenity continues inside as well, with residents treated to a luxury cinema to watch all the latest blockbusters from the comfort of their own home, and a library.&nbsp;

Along the ground floor, the hotel-inspired lobbies also feature a concierge desk and access to a business centre and meeting room.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=8516]

Soaring above the Canning River, Stirling Capital's Cirque Duet lends its hand to the Government’s stamp duty rebates, offering a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Forming part of the redefining Mount Pleasant, Canning Bridge Precinct, Cirque Duet rises high into the Perth skyline.

With its bold, contemporary design, at the heart of the long-established community, Stirling Capital's latest residential development&nbsp;connects Ogilvie and Kirshorn Roads with a new public walkway, featuring a chromaflow wall art instillation.

Designed by award-winning architects, MJA Studio, the vision for Cirque Duet is based on four core pillars; community, sustainability, wellness and luxury.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191444]

Stirling released the accompanying tower apartments back in 2019&nbsp;, achieving a sell out on the first stage along with a string of awards for the project, including&nbsp;consecutive Urban Development Institute of Australia Awards, as well as a number of Australian Institute of Architects Awards.

Inspired by a five-star resort lifestyle, Cirque’s expansive podium deck connects the two towers above street level, providing more than 3,000 sqm of communal facilities and amenities for the exclusive use of its residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191444]

Residents will be at home with a host of resort-style facilities, including a heated swimming pool, spa, sauna, and gym, along with private dining rooms, cabanas, a cocktail bar, barbecue facilities and a children’s playground.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191444]

The buildings’ unique form brings optimum sun into the communal area creating a variety of light-dappled, landscaped lawns and gardens dotted with intimate, alfresco chill out spaces all wrapped in panoramic views.

Indoors, there’s also a library and a luxury cinema, while at street level, Cirque Duet’s hotel-inspired lobbies feature a concierge desk and access to a business centre with a separate meeting room.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191444]

Comprising a mix of one, two and three bedroom residences, Cirque Duet’s residences have been designed to take advantage of the panoramic views across the Canning and Swan Rivers, to Perth’s CBD and the Eastern Hills.

Two and three-bed apartments can still be snapped up at Cirque Duet, with sprawling floorplans from 145 sqm, right up to 314 sqm.

The Precinct, a new project delivered by Norup+Wilson, offers a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments in a great family suburb.

Mount Pleasant is a southern suburb of Perth, delivering river views and close to many attractions and neighbourhood amenities.

Forming part of the $235 million Canning Bridge redevelopment project, the Precinct is the catalyst for a vibrant new riverside lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183647]

Each resident will enjoy spectacular, ever-changing panoramic vistas of the Swan and Canning Rivers or the surrounding leafy suburbs, regardless of which floor their apartment sits.

The 22-storey apartment has been designed by acclaimed architectural firm Woods Bagot, featuring design innovations, indulgent luxuries and unmatched living spaces.

Residents are also offered the opportunity to customise their apartment, with the choice to add vanities, make personalised touches and even redesign layouts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183652]

The building incorporates an elegant design and high-quality features, including premium appliances, artisan finishes and large floorplans.

High-tech features are complemented by advanced security options for all residents, including secured access points, a remote video intercom, an internal mailroom with courier lockers, and CCTV cameras throughout.

Inspired by the finest international hotel suites, residents can pamper themselves in chic and spacious bathrooms, with some residences featuring bathtubs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183666]

Sky Home living is not the expansive 360-degree views or the exclusive facilities or unmatched security. It’s the extraordinary peace and quiet which comes from being so far above the rest of the world, enjoying the kind of safe, isolation that The Precinct offers.

Floors 17 through to 20 are dedicated to the ultra-premium Sky Homes, with the top floor hosting the extravagant Sky Lounge for the exclusive use of the four floors of Sky Home residents.

“Here they can access any of the wines they have stored in the temperature and humidity-controlled wine cellar or entertain their guests in the impressive private dining room and adjoining lounge”, the project marketing reads.

Other amenities integrated into the development’s design include indoor and outdoor gym, running track, Teppanyaki barbeques, swimming pool, residents’ lounge and library.

Design details: The interior design features by Woods Bagot at The Precinct, Mount Pleasant apartments

The Precinct is the newest residential offering in Perth&rsquo;s riverside southern suburb of Mount Pleasant, boasting a collection of 192 residences.

Developed by Norup+Wilson, the one, two and three-bedroom apartments lie within a 22-storey community on the high point of the prestigious Canning Bridge redevelopment project.

Forming part of the $235 million redevelopment, The Precinct is the catalyst for a vibrant new riverside lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183648]

Designed by Woods Bagot, the development features a destination entertainment hub, residences and ultra-premium Sky Homes.

Location is everything at the Precinct, which stands as the most prominent landmark in the Canning Bridge Precinct, according to the project marketing.

&ldquo;It commands views of every facet of the city from Kings Park and the CBD, to the converging Swan and Canning Rivers and the distant escarpment to the east&rdquo;, the developer said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183667]

The proximity to the CBD and the river, and the easy access to roads and public transport links, make Mount Pleasant a location of choice for professionals and families.

While the high-owner occupier ratio within the development has been shown to preserve capital values and generate higher rental income for investors.

Set to become one of the first five-star Green Star residential buildings delivered within Western Australia, the project incorporates sustainable features and environmentally friendly materials.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183649]

Some of the Green Star features include solar cells on the rooftop, sensor lights, WELS-approved rating on all taps and showers, energy-efficient appliances and rain sensors for reticulation system.

Thanks to these technologies and the overall quality of the development, the Precinct delivers low strata fees to residents.

As a multi-level community, the Precinct features a range of first-class amenities, including an indoor and outdoor gym, running track, cabana, day beds, thatched gazebo, Teppanyaki barbeques and swimming pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183655]

A choice of multiple different restaurants is at your doorstep with an assortment of dining experiences found at the unique ground-floor entry.

Among its other features include a residents&rsquo; lounge, residents&rsquo; library, children&rsquo;s playroom and the luxurious Sky Lounge on the top floor.

The development reached completion in 2020.

The family members of Australia's sixth largest wine company, McWilliams Wines, are being asked to provide $15 million in a rights issue to bolster the company's weak balance sheet.
<div>
McWilliams chief executive Jeff McWilliam said raising equity was a practical route because banks were still wary of the wine industry.
"I think their confidence in the wine industry is not there yet," he told the Australian Financial Review.
"We've had to become less reliant on debt funding".
<a href="https://cdn.mcwilliams.com.au/mcwilliams-wines-au/2018/05/15075950/McWilliams-Wine-Group-Ltd-Prospectus-14-May-18.pdf" target="_blank">Its recently lodged June 1 prospectus</a> for a 5-for-7 non-renounceable entitlement offer at 42¢ per share shows that McWilliams generated revenue of $100.7 million in 2016-17 but made a loss of $22.6 million before tax.
McWilliam’s is one of the pioneering wine entities within Australia which has been perfecting the winemaking craft since 1877, when founder Samuel McWilliam first planted vines on the banks of the Murray River in New South Wales.
With over 140 years of history, six consecutive generations of the McWilliam family have strived to be at the forefront of Australian wine innovation.
The Mount Pleasant winery was named Winery of the Year in the James Halliday Wine Companion 2017, and its 2011 Maurice O’Shea Shiraz was named Shiraz of the Year in the 2015 edition.
McWilliam’s is also the exclusive Australian distributor for Champagne Taittinger, Henkell, and Mionetto prosecco.
<div title="Page 10">
<div>
<div>
The company continues to operate Hanwood Estate, as well as produce premium wines under the McWilliam’s and Mount Pleasant brands.
McWilliam’s also holds a 30% shareholding in MRWP, which is Margaret River’s largest contract processing facility and now controls Evans &amp; Tate.
</div>
</div>
</div>
At the date of this Prospectus, McWilliam’s is 100% family-owned.
At the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) level, the loss was $14.3 million. Revenue in 2015-16 was $107.9 million, with an EBITDA loss of $167,000.
Revenue for the first half of 2017-18 was $48.8 million, while EBITDA was $5.63 million.
</div>
<div>
<div id="article-inline-ad">Jeff McWilliam will shortly step down from the CEO role handing over to the former Parmalat executive David Pitt.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The company had shifted its bottling line and packaging operations out of Sydney to the Riverina area. </div>
</div>
<div>
The company was also working closely with corporate advisers Pendulum on a cost-cutting program to strip out $10 million of costs.
</div>
<div>
The prospectus also outlines that $1.675 million of the proceeds will go towards the repayment of a loan to E&amp;J Gallo, the privately-owned United States wine giant, which held a small stake in McWilliams until late 2014.
Mr McWilliam said the company had been trying to lift itself out of the lower price point brackets and be less reliant on lower-priced commercial wine. "We've been trying to move away from sub-10 dollars to between 10 to 15 dollars," he said.
McWilliams Wines had been selling some of its products into China for 20 years.
Its exports to mainland China and Hong Kong represent about eight per cent of the company's total annual sales of $100 million.
