Investing in the WA Economy

Stage 2 The Shops At Ellenbrook

The Insurance Commission provided further investment in the Western Australian economy with the opening of the Stage 2 development of its retail property investment, The Shops At Ellenbrook. The Insurance Commission brought forward this $54 million development, opening Stage two, 2 years ahead of advice from urban planners, based on population growth projections. This investment demonstrates the Insurance Commission’s commitment to acting to benefit the Western Australian community, in this case through the provision of a quality retail shopping facility in a newly developing area. The completed Shops At Ellenbrook provides 32,000m² of retail shops and has created an estimated 1,000 new jobs within the Ellenbrook town centre.

Westralia Plaza

The Insurance Commission added another quality investment asset to its direct Property Portfolio with the completion of an 11 storey office building, Westralia Plaza, located at 167 St George’s Terrace, Perth. The $65 million project also provides an enhanced walkway plaza from the Esplanade bus port through Westralia Square to St George’s Terrace for the community.
