Housing shortages span all market segments, limiting the region’s ability to attract and retain critical workers and acting as a barrier to economic growth.
In September 2024, the WA Government announced the release of 150 new residential lots in Exmouth, including an 18-hectare State-owned land parcel sold to the Fowler Group/Celsius consortium, aimed at increasing housing supply for key workers.
The Gascoyne Development Commission is actively collaborating with State and Local Governments, industry, and private investors to advocate for solutions and accelerate land and accommodation development. The Commission completed a study and report in Exmouth which detailed the number of houses urgently needed to keep up with demand.
Efforts are underway to fast-track new housing and workforce accommodation projects in Gascoyne Junction, Shark Bay, Coral Bay, Carnarvon, and Exmouth.
These coordinated efforts aim to address workforce accommodation shortages, support regional industries, and enable sustainable economic growth across the Gascoyne.

Our Role in the Region
Nestled between two World Heritage listed areas that draw more than 220,000 overnight visitors a year, Carnarvon is a regional hub that offers more than expected. It is an emerging tourism destination with outstanding local food production, geothermal mineral water, exciting fishing and wind/water sports offerings and unique events.
Carnarvon has long been recognised for its unique small and sweet banana but that reputation is widening with an extensive range of subtropical fruit and temperate climate vegetables grown on the plantations lining the Gascoyne River.
The Gascoyne River is one of Australia’s ephemeral rivers, flowing only when heavy rain falls up to 500km inland. The township is on one of the delta inlets and centred on the picturesque Fascine.
A thriving prawn, scallop, crab and fishing industry also operates from Carnarvon. During the months of May to October freshly caught seafood can be purchased directly from the factories.
Renowned for its wonderful climate Carnarvon’s average maximum summer temperature (December to February) is 32oC with a winter (June to August) average maximum temperature of 22oC.
