• ‘Gateway’ building(s) may be up to eight levels and a<br />

landmark building up to 16 storeys, subject to<br />

performance criteria.<br />

• Development applications seeking landmark, gateway or<br />

iconic building status wil not be supported until local<br />

structure planning and development of built form<br />

guidelines have determined the appropriate locations for<br />

these higher built form elements.<br />

Public realm<br />

• Open space area in the south-eastern corner, should be<br />

integrated with the adjacent public open space design<br />

(hilltop park) and support a quality interface with the<br />

abutting mixed-use development.<br />

• Streetscape improvements on Emplacement Crescent will<br />

be important, as will ensuring strong built form relationship<br />

and activation to Cockburn Road and Cockburn Coast<br />

Drive.<br />

2.10.5 Darkan precinct<br />

Darkan precinct is a small portion of the project area surrounding<br />

Garston Way and Darkan Avenue and focused on the existing<br />

Fremantle Cold Stores operation. It is designated for mixed<br />

business uses, and is surrounded by mixed use development in<br />

Robb Jetty precinct, across Cockburn Road in Emplacement<br />

precinct, and across Rollinson Road in Fremantle Village precinct.<br />

Precinct character<br />

• The precinct will be of a non-residential nature, having an<br />

intense commercial development focus to optimise<br />

employment and business enterprise activity.<br />

• Existing uses will be able to stay long term, until such time<br />

as owners wish to redevelop.<br />

• The ability exists for the businesses to evolve over time<br />

into higher value business uses.<br />

• The interface with surrounding mixed use development will<br />

provide a transition to nearby residential, and provide<br />

scope for supporting business enterprises.<br />

• The proximity to two transit stops and activity nodes<br />

provides amenity and services for workers.<br />

Land Use<br />

• Mixed business (refer to Chapter 2.4.2.3 for suitable uses<br />

and uses not suitable).<br />

• Office and commercial focus on Cockburn Road.<br />

Built form<br />

• Buildings should be adaptable to allow for changes in use<br />

over time.<br />

• Car parking should be screened from the street.<br />

Height<br />

• Buildings on Cockburn Road should be a maximum height<br />

of five levels.<br />

• The height of buildings on secondary streets throughout<br />

the precinct may be up to four levels, provided that<br />

overshadowing does not impact on residential<br />

development.<br />

• Development applications seeking landmark, gateway or<br />

iconic building status wil not be supported until local<br />

structure planning and development of built form<br />

guidelines have determined the appropriate locations for<br />

these higher built form elements.<br />

Public realm<br />

• Quality of streetscaping and interface of buildings with<br />

the urban public realm will be important to ensure high<br />

standards of amenity in the remainder of the project area<br />

are carried through into Darkan precinct.<br />

• Landscaping, active street edges, use of street furniture<br />

and other urban public realm treatments should be<br />

encouraged to provide high-quality pedestrian<br />

environments and urban outdoor spaces.<br />

2.10.6 Fremantle Village precinct<br />

Fremantle Village precinct is located between Cockburn Road in the<br />

east and South Beach development in the west. It contains the land<br />

currently used for the Fremantle Chalet Village, on the former<br />

Fremantle tip site. It has an important interface with the retail and<br />

commercial uses on Hampton Road to its immediate north, and will<br />

interface with the mixed business uses in Darkan precinct to its<br />

south.<br />

Character and built form elements (including height) of the South<br />

Fremantle landfill site will be determined through the reference<br />

group process currently being managed by LandCorp, in<br />

partnership with the City of Fremantle.<br />

Precinct character<br />

• The precinct will be a blend of the character displayed in<br />

the South beach development and in the future Robb Jetty<br />

precinct development. This will entail a mix of housing<br />

types and an intensity of mixed use development along<br />

Cockburn Road and Rollinson Road that are established in<br />

a setting of high quality streetscapes.<br />

• The northern transit stop is located centrally along<br />

Cockburn Road and will lead to the formation of a local<br />

retail focus around it.<br />

• It is intended that the section of Cockburn Road north of<br />

Rollinson Road will have a ‘main street’ character with a<br />

strong pedestrian focus and slow-moving cars.<br />

• The ‘gateway’ and ‘landmark’ buildings should be<br />

positioned at each end of this section of Cockburn Road<br />

to distinguish the nature and importance of this key<br />

community focal area.<br />

• It is important that the new development integrates<br />

appropriately with the South beach development and<br />

northern commercial area through quality urban design,<br />

built form and public realm design.<br />

Land use<br />

• A low to medium density residential interface with the<br />

South Beach development will transition to a<br />

predominantly medium to high density residential land use<br />

base for the precinct.<br />
