A totally integrated design approach completed in close collaboration with the client and project team has resulted in an estate set apart from other projects in the competitive north-east corridor of Perth.

The 58ha estate is being created from multiple lots that were formerly degraded rural properties.

CDP has undertaken a range of planning tasks to facilitate residential development on the land, commencing with the application to lift its former Urban Deferred status under the Metropolitan Region Scheme. Preparation and approval of the Local Structure Plan included development of a master plan that responded to site characteristics such as a powerline easement, resource enhancement wetlands, remnant native vegetation, and proximity to regional road and rail reserves. The structure plan also respectsd the established land uses seeking to remain in the area, namely a private institution and rural pursuits.

Pockets of medium density development, including a test case Affordability Home project lead by Mirvac WA, forms part of the ultimate 650+ dwellings proposed and nestled within a linear public open space setting.

CDP continues to work with Mirvac to deliver this new community.
