Intro
The master plan sets a long-term vision to create a connected, sustainable neighbourhood that brings together diverse housing, quality open spaces, and new opportunities for learning and community life.
The precinct will include new homes, green corridors, public spaces, and local retail, supported by safe and inclusive transport networks for pedestrians, cyclists, public transport, and vehicles.
Up to 1,100 homes are proposed and will feature townhouses, grouped housing, and apartments, delivering new housing options to ensure more Western Australians have a place to call home.
More than 15% of the site will be set aside as public open space, creating links to nearby parks, preserving mature trees where possible and adding new plantings to provide shade and strengthen the urban canopy.
The master mlan also includes the retention and upgrading of key creative assets, the library, and the administration building.
The WA Government provided $500,000 in the Mid-year Review for a business case to develop a Creative Industries Hub at the upgraded Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, library, and administration buildings.
The proposed Creative Industries Hub will offer potential performance, rehearsal, production, and office spaces for not-for-profit organisations, commercial creative businesses, and emerging artists, fostering collaboration, innovation and new career pathways.
The hub business case will also explore opportunities with Mount Lawley Senior High School to broaden access to facilities and support the growth and development of young talent through their Specialist Visual and Performing Arts Program.
In addition, a site has been identified for a new urban primary school, with the Department of Education leading planning and design.
The finalisation of the master plan follows extensive community consultation on the draft plan released in mid-2025, with over 300 submissions received
The master plan can be viewed on the DevelopmentWA website.
