Beaconsfield

DevelopmentWA has released the Draft Concept Plan for a new residential community that will transform the former TAFE site in Beaconsfield, in collaboration with the City of Fremantle and Department of Communities.&nbsp;

The Draft Concept Plan for the&nbsp;11-15 Grosvenor Street site incorporates a range of affordable and social housing options, as well as community facilities, public open spaces, and potential commercial premises.

The redevelopment will be informed by DevelopmentWA's consultation with the community and key stakeholders, as well as consideration of the City of Fremantle's 'The Heart of Beaconsfield (THOB) Masterplan.'

The Beaconsfield Redevelopment Project is approximately 14-hectares of land and comprises the Davis Park precinct and the Beaconsfield TAFE site.

The former TAFE site was used for a number of decades as a training ground for particularly building and construction, carpentry, business and hospitality trades, with the demolition of the 54-year old site completed back in December 2022.&nbsp;

Through the redevelopment of the site, DevelopmentWA is contributing to the State Government's target of 3,300 new social housing dwellings over four years, with the new community set to provide much-needed affordable housing options for the city of Fremantle.&nbsp;

The project is also expected to generate jobs and stimulate economic growth in the area, transforming the disused site into a vibrant and sustainable community that meets the needs of the growing Beaconsfield area.

Housing and Lands Minister John Carey said the redevelopment of the former Beaconsfield TAFE site will transform and breathe new life into the local community, while bolstering the supply of social and affordable housing in the area.

"We have listened to the local community and have taken on board their input and feedback as we develop the final vision for this important urban regeneration project."

The proposed development will include a mix of high-density residential buildings, family houses, and commercial premises.

Plans for the 3.8-hectare site included a focus on sustainability, new public open space, retention of mature trees and improved security and safety in the area, in addition to a playground and a network of pathways featuring waterwise landscaping.&nbsp;

150 residences are expected to be delivered in the development, with precincts for one and two-storey family houses and precincts for five and eight-storey apartment buildings.

The site will also feature a mixed-use zone and road connectivity from Badham Close through to Caesar Street. Pedestrian/cycling and green links, including Lefroy Road to Grosvenor Street, will also be incorporated into the design.

Sustainability will be a key feature in the project, with the team incorporating learning from DevelopmentWA's recent developments in White Gum Valley and Hamilton Hill. A community garden will be considered as part of the project, with the all-electric development also set to incorporate water sensitive landscaping infrastructure.&nbsp;

It's anticipated the houses will target a 7-star&nbsp;NatHERS rating, while also including solar PV systems.&nbsp;

The site redevelopment is expected to take a few years to complete, with the former TAFE site already demolished to pave way for the future development.

Currently in the planning approval phase, DevelopmentWA expect to begin sales and construction from 2025 onwards.&nbsp;

The Seven Network has bought an inner-Sydney Beacons­field warehouse, marketed as “a creative warehouse with residential development upside.”
It is expected to be for one of its lifestyle shows such as House Rules or Better Homes &amp; Gardens.
The Australian reported Seven Network (Operations) was so keen to acquire the two-level warehouse at 12-14 Victoria Street, Beaconsfield, for about $3 million that it snapped up the property before its September 20 scheduled auction.
The property features potential for terrace and townhouse redevelopment as well as a large frontage to Victoria Street in the upcoming trendy suburb.
The warehouse’s ground floor was previously used as a jewellery manufacturing operation while its upper levels were used as a home for its owner, costume jewellery and belt designer Peter Lang.
The warehouse also sports an outdoor upstairs courtyard.
Seven Network (Operations) bought the 780 square metre property through Knight Frank South Sydney agent Demi Carigliano.
