Minderoo Group, the "proudly Western Australian" private investment vehicle of mining magnate Andrew Forrest and his wife, Nicola, is eyeing up property development opportunities on the east coast, according to chief investment officer John Hartman.

With Minderoo completing its giant $500 million Perth industrial estate, Roe Highway Logistics Park – 60 per cent of which is now leased – Mr Hartman said the group was looking to "expand out of the west coast".
