The Heart of Beaconsfield project was led by the City of Fremantle in cooperation with the Department of Communities and other partners to coordinate the redevelopment of the area around the Davis Park precinct, Lefroy Road quarry and the former South Metropolitan TAFE site.Īfter a draft of the masterplan was approved for a final round of consultation in November last year, the final version was formally adopted by Fremantle Council last week.Īcting Mayor Andrew Sullivan said the masterplan addressed a number of community concerns about density and building heights.
After almost five years of planning and extensive community consultation, a masterplan laying out the collective vision for future development in the Heart of Beaconsfield has been formally adopted by Fremantle Council.
