Developers

Smiths Point is the vision of Canal Rocks Pty Ltd, an independent developer based in Perth and owned by a group of 18 unit holders made up of Western Australian individuals and families. The company was formed in 1985 when the unit holders decided to purchase the 40ha site at Smiths Beach.

For more than 20 years the group has remained committed to creating a world class tourist and residential village at Smiths Beach. The company has brought together a group of leading consultants in their respective fields to create an exciting plan for a relaxed and sustainable coastal village.

David McKenzie, the chair of Canal Rocks Pty Ltd and principal of Olifents Real Estate in Claremont, has extensive experience in the design and construction of property developments. To find out more about David McKenzie please see the profile below.
 
“As chairman of Canal Rocks Pty Ltd I have put my heart and soul into making sure Smiths Point becomes the best example of sustainable living on the Western Australian coast.
 
“The environment is our best asset and we have worked extremely hard to ensure Smiths Point is well within local and State government guidelines for height, dwelling density and visual amenity and to ensure that it exceeds community expectations for environmental management and community facilities.
 
“We have done everything we can to ensure the community’s needs and expectations for this beautiful site are realised.
 
“The benefits of Smiths Point will be felt across the whole South West community for years to come and I know those who are cautious about its development today will be supporters in the future once they see the vision become a reality.”
