October 31, 2024

CONSULTATION workshops on the Bassendean oval redevelopment concept masterplan will take place on Monday, November 4 and Wednesday, November 6.

The Town of Bassendean said residents, non-residents and stakeholders were encouraged to share their thoughts on the future vision for the precinct.

The town’s post on the oval redevelopment consultation said people familiar with the town centre master plan would notice some differences in the current design.

Key differences from the town city master plan are the oval has been reoriented to the AFL recommended orientation of 15 degrees off north/south, it includes potential residential development to the east of the oval and larger development to the west of the oval.

“The town centre master plan is a guiding principles approach document that was developed as a future or aspirational state for the town centre, which would be subject to a more detailed and robust planning approach and architectural concepts,’’ the post said.

“It has been used a guiding document to inform this project; however, the steering committee and consultants have been directed to explore the best way to increase the intensity of use of the precinct and site, allowing it to serve the community more, especially outside of Swan Districts Football Club match days.’’

The November 4 workshop runs from 6.30pm to 8pm while the November 6 workshop runs from 2.30pm to 4pm. Both workshops will be held at Swan Districts Football Club.
