Claremont on the Park Redevelopment
The award-winning Claremont on
the Park responds innovatively to the multiple challenges associated with
delivering quality, sustainable high density living and maximising the use of
established public transport networks, education, medical and recreation
facilities in one of Perth’s most established
suburbs.
With the historic Claremont Oval as its centrepiece, LandCorp’s master-planned Claremont on the Park development provides a sustainable physical, social and economic connection to the Claremont Town Centre and its established retail and entertainment precinct with the provision of more than 750 new homes, along with a range of complementary mixed use, aged care, retail and support industries.
In addition, following $16 million of State Government funding, the Claremont Football Club has re-opened new state-of-the-art clubrooms, incorporating facilities open to the community.
The Goods Shed - Claremont on the Park
The Goods Shed is a historic railway building located within the Claremont on the Park development and is Perth's newest hub for culture and community.
The Goods Shed is positioned at the base of the Claremont train station overhead pedestrian bridge that connects the town centre to the northern side of the railway station. It provides a critical link to the established Claremont town centre to the south of the train line.
Elizabeth
Quay – Awarded Australia’s best urban renewal project 2018
Through the work of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority, the State Government of Western Australia committed $440 million to fund construction of the inlet, roads & services, public domain and the creation of ten development sites which in turn will attract a further $2.2 billion of private sector investment.
When fully complete, the 10 hectare precinct will be a future place of work for 10,000 people and homes to 1,400 residents and will continue to be an exciting place to live, work and visit, generating essential economic activity for many years to come.
Yagan Square
Located
in the heart of Perth’s CBD – within the arms of the heritage-listed Horseshoe
Bridge – the 1.1 hectare Yagan Square is the flagship public space within the
Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority’s $1.39 billion Perth City Link.
Scarborough Beach Foreshore
Less than 20 minutes from Perth CBD and Fremantle, Scarborough has been transformed with a $100M joint State and Local Government funded redevelopment which has revitalised Western Australia’s most iconic beach and created a world-class beach destination.
Delegates will then be taken on a tour of the foreshore and shown a variety of facilities which provide activities for all ages including a new surf club, Sunset Hill, Whale Playground, art projects, skate bowl and parks, bouldering wall and half basketball court. Wide pedestrian and cycle friendly promenades have created a connection with the beach and stimulated place activation such as the popular Sunset Markets held every Thursday night during the summer. The Amphitheatre has been the focal point of the Australian Surf Life-Saving Championships and national beach volleyball tours, as well as concerts and the City of Stirling’s Summerset Festival.
Known as the Snake Pit to rock and rollers in the 1950-60s, this area has been transformed into a Skate / Scooter and BMX Plaza, with a bouldering wall and half basketball court.
The Skate Bowl is the deepest of its kind in WA at 12ft (3.66M) and is designed to cater for national and international competitions. The area attracts skateboarders of all abilities and also spectators who flock to watch stunts and tricks in a beautiful setting.
Whale Playground
The Lotterywest Whale Playground includes a life-size whale skeleton with a slide, monkey bars, ladders, swings and netted tunnels plus a huge custom made cubbyhouse, climbing pods and sensory play elements.
The playground is an art piece and inspired by the Noongar culture story that a whale will beach itself when it comes to the end of its life so it can return an ancestor’s spirit to the land.
Sunset Hill
Overlooking the playground is Sunset Hill, an idyllic place to unwind or have a picnic. The grassed hill is the perfect vantage point to watch skate park and BMX activities and can be used as a media location for major events. Not only does it offer wonderful ocean views and sunset photography, the northern slope can provide shelter from the south westerly sea breeze.
Tjunta Art Trail
This heritage trail reflects the dreamtime story of children who went missing and the spirit woman Tjunta who finds them. This story has been sandblasted and painted in five places and you can follow this public artwork around the foreshore. Other highlights include the Ethereal Welcome Hand sculpture and the Scarborough Beach destination sign which is inspired from iconic roadside signage and Scarborough’s car culture and provides the ideal location for photo opportunities.
Scarborough Beach Pool
This $26M facility not only adheres to the overall masterplan vision for Scarborough, but has become a feature point of the foreshore development. The only beachside pool in Western Australia has eight 50m lanes and four 25m lanes and multiple configuration options are available to cater for a wide variety of pool-goers. It is geothermally heated with a separate shallow 32oC leisure pool and has a 200 seat grandstand.
Private Sector
Investment
The foreshore redevelopment has been the catalyst for increased national and international investment into the Scarborough Precinct with new hotels and apartments already constructed, under construction and more planned.
Recently, the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) approved twin 43 and 33 story towers development comprising of 119 hotel rooms and 314 apartments, a Convention Centre, three level Observation Deck, Restaurant and Exhibition Space. The Tourism Council of WA said the development would boost Scarborough’s appeal as a destination and the economic impact of the project is estimated at $155 million per year.
