Positioned within an established residential pocket approximately 1km from the heart of Margaret River, Lot 752 Tingle Avenue presents an opportunity to secure a privately owned site close to shops, schools, medical facilities and community amenities.
Surrounded by a quiet, leafy neighbourhood, the property combines a peaceful residential setting with convenient access to the services and attractions of the Margaret River town centre. The site is understood to sit outside Reserve R35489; prospective purchasers should refer to page 153 of the Shire's Local Planning Scheme No 1 and make their own enquiries regarding its planning and development potential.
Previous Development Proposal
A development application was previously lodged for a community-purpose facility providing Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Developed in partnership with Enable WA and Habilitas, the proposal sought to deliver a small-scale, high-quality accommodation facility for people with high support needs.
The concept was intended to address the identified shortage of suitable disability accommodation in the Margaret River region, allowing residents to live close to essential services, their families and their local community. While the initiative did not proceed, the previous planning work may be of interest to purchasers exploring community, care or specialised accommodation opportunities.
Subject to planning requirements and approval from the Shire of Augusta Margaret River, other possible uses may include an arts and craft centre, childcare premises, club premises, community-purpose facilities, an educational establishment, family day care, low-impact recreation, a place of worship, private recreation or telecommunications infrastructure.
Any future development will need to be sympathetic in design and scale to the residential character of the surrounding area. Prospective purchasers are encouraged to undertake their own due diligence with the Shire of Augusta Margaret River and relevant authorities before making an offer.

The townsite of Margaret River is located in the south west agricultural area, 277 kilometres south southwest of Perth and 48 kilometres south southwest of Busselton. It is located on the Margaret River from which it derives its name. The precise origin of the naming of the river is not known, but it was possibly named by John Bussell in honour of Margaret Wyche, a friend in England who was expected to follow the Bussell's to Australia. The name is first shown on a map of the region published in 1839.
In 1910 the Margaret River Progress Association wrote to the Minister for Lands requesting a townsite be declared at "the Upper Margaret Bridge". The reason given was that "the district is likely to be dotted with public buildings several miles apart in the near future if a townsite is not made available shortly". The District Surveyor who inspected the area preferred an area near the lower bridge on Caves Road, but this land was not available. Lots were surveyed in 1912, and the Townsite of Margaret River gazetted in 1913. In 1918 the name of the townsite was changed to "Margaret", but it was changed back to Margaret River in 1927, due to local usage of the name always being Margaret River.
