Gregory John Walker (Greg) – Profile

According to Greg Walker’s website – http://macarthurprojects.com/about-us/ …. which contains a series of attractively rendered photos, Greg Walker been developing properties to the tune of over $300m since about 1994 (source: http://macarthurprojects.com/ circa November 2017).

Regrettably Greg, despite working in a team with 200 years experience and $300m in projects (as discussed below), experienced some dramas with ASIC and others as the following documents suggest:

Can 200 years experience help?

In short, no not always.

According to our research, a number of Greg’s finest projects are imaginary (or incomplete), for instance:

The Jetty Project, Bayview (completed without Greg Walker)
Barkala Project / 131MVR Pty Ltd (in liquidation), 131 Mona Vale Rd, St Ives – abandoned partly completed
Tide, Church Point
The Shed, Mona Vale

The Archibald, Gosford

Greg’s latest project is virtually amazing:

In a test run for the real thing perhaps, during a ferocious 59km/hr breeze, various inadequacies in Walker constructions were exposed:

Virtually finished and ready to move in, or will it take as long to build as Barkala?

To bring The Archibald within reach of any purchaser with a pulse, Greg Walker notes that the NSW Government is giving away free money:

Free money – OSR NSW (conditions apply)

It is widely rumoured that Greg Walker was able to complete the acquisition of Archibald land, despite declaring to the NSW Office of State Revenue that the contract had been rescinded, with the benefit of a few ($16,000,000 of) helping hands dollars from Keith Snell whilst alive. Unfortunately Keith could not attend the public examinations re: 131MVR nor provide any answers to the liquidators thereof.
