• ‘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 />
