APPENDIX 1 - SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
The aspiration for the Vision Plan is to create an “Urban Village in a Landscaped Setting”.
Envisage a new ‘pocket’ of urban life at the foothills of the Darling Scarp, walking distances to the Swan River, Airport West Train Station, on the door step of the consolidated Perth Airport which is one of Perth’s largest mixed employment hubs. It is a place for all ages, incomes, lifestyles and families with a mix of spaces for relaxation and enjoyment for the entire community, encompassed by a variety of activity opportunities.
Development Area 6 Draft Vision Plan & Implementation Strategy4
The Vision Plan provides flexibility for the future detailed
planning and development of DA6, particularly in terms of
potential land uses and activities. At this stage, the Vision
Plan is focused on ensuring that the urban structure, built
form scale, land use configuration and interfaces are
designed to achieve the best outcomes for DA6.
This report contains broad level design guidance, which
provides the foundation for the future development of
detailed statutory planning documents and associated
guidelines by the City and PAPL.
The Vision Plan provides the inspiration for future
development. The Implementation Strategy provides the
foundation for staging and delivery.
A separate Background and Analysis Report, including a
Transport and Utilities Report, has been prepared which
covers the site and planning context of DA6 in detail, and a
summarised version is contained in Appendix 1 for
reference. The two reports produced as a result of the initial
Visioning Workshops and the subsequent Community
Information Forum are available on the City’s website.
INTRODUCTION
1953
Prepared on behalf of Perth Airport Pty Ltd (PAPL) and the City of
Belmont (the City), the purpose of this Vision Plan and
Implementation Strategy is to establish a Vision for the future urban
regeneration of Development Area 6 (DA6), as defined by the City of
Belmont’s Local Planning Scheme No.15.
5 Development Area 6 Draft Vision Plan & Implementation Strategy
The objective of this study is the preparation of a Vision Plan
and Implementation Strategy that explores options for the
delivery of a dynamic area that:
• Respondssensitivelytointerfaceissues,particularly
between residential development on the land under the
planning control of the City and future development on
land owned by PAPL;
• DeliversanoptimalTransitOrientedDevelopment(TOD)
outcome surrounding the potential future Airport West
TrainStation(unofficiallynamed“RedcliffeTrainStation”
bythecommunity)aspartoftheStateGovernment’s
Perth Airport Rail Link Plan;
STUDY OBJECTIVES

surrounding development;
• Identifiestheamount,locationsforandfunctionsofkey
public spaces; and
• Isimplementable,inthecontextofstageddeliveryof

Development Area 6 Draft Vision Plan & Implementation Strategy6
DA6 is located at the intersection of Great Eastern Highway
and Tonkin Highway in Redcliffe, and extends to the existing
Domestic Airport terminal. DA6 is approximately 174 hectares
in size, of which approximately 105 hectares of land is owned
by PAPL, with the remainder under the planning control of the
City. The Perth Airport is located on Commonwealth land and
is governed by federal legislation – the Airports Act 1996. The
Act requires that a Master Plan be prepared for the Airport
land every five years, to describe the expected developments
at the Airport and also to present an indicative plan for the
Airport once it is developed to its ultimate capacity.
DA6 is in close proximity to Perth CBD, the Swan River,
Garvey Park and the Darling Scarp. Great Eastern Highway
and Tonkin Highway provide convenient vehicle access to the
area. However these major traffic routes also act as a barrier
for vehicle, pedestrian and cycle linkages into the surrounding
local areas.
DA6 is influenced by a number of interface issues, particularly
in relation to the residential area abutting the existing
industrial land uses to the east of the site, and possible future
24/7 land uses at the Perth Airport. With the future Airport
West Train Station to be located within DA6, there is
opportunity to optimise TOD benefits and provide a range of
suitable uses surrounding the future station.

ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES
LAND USE
• Amixed-usescenarioisthebestoptionforDA6.The
primarily residential character of the existing Redcliffe
locality should be preserved, whilst integrating a variety of
complimentary non-residential uses in order to create a
safe, vibrant and active mixed-use precinct befitting its
location and proximity to high-frequency public
transportation and employment.
• TheaccessibilityofGreatEasternHighwayandPAPLland
provide the level of exposure necessary for significant
office/commercial development that will satisfy the
growing demand for employment opportunities outside
the existing Perth CBD.
• Promotecompatiblelanduseandbuildingscaleinterface
between the neighbourhood precinct and PAPL land.
• OpportunityforPAPLlandtobeoptimisedforaviation
services and Business Park uses, creating an employment
destination.
• Promoteincreasedresidentialdensities,particularlyin
proximity to Great Eastern Highway and the future train
station, to promote an effective TOD outcome.
• Provideconvenienceretailandpromoteactiveuses,
particularly at street level potentially near the station plaza
that serves residents and workers, and promotes public
domain activation and passive surveillance.
• Providecommunityfocalpointsparticularlywithinthe
neighbourhood precinct.
Examination of DA6 identified a number of issues and opportunities that were
considered during the formulation of the Vision Plan. These were tested through the
evaluation of the preliminary scenarios at the initial Visioning Workshops and are outlined
in detail in the separate Background and Analysis Report. A summary of the key issues
and opportunities is provided below:
