Lots 4 & 17 cover 67 hectares of industrial land in Perth’s southwest corridor. The land includes 17.9 hectares of conservation area and 1.7 hectares of public open space, both of which will be retained for conservation purposes.

Once complete, Lots 4 & 17 will deliver 115 industrial lots at the intersection of Ennis Avenue and Port Kennedy Drive.

Asbestos remediation will occur first and is expected to take approximately two weeks. This will be followed by vegetation removal which will include slashing activities, and UXO remediation which is anticipated to require a further four to five weeks.

Works have commenced and are expected to be complete in August 2026.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was previously widely used in construction due to its heat resistance, strength, and insulating properties. However, it is hazardous when its fibres are released into the air.

Non-friable (cement bonded) materials will be removed from site which are firmly bound in a cement matrix and unlikely to lead to fibre release.

The broader Port Kennedy area, including our land and surrounding locations to the north and south, were historically utilised for military purposes during World War II and may contain unexploded ordnance (UXO) which may include military ammunition.

Over the past four decades, adjacent residential, industrial, and commercial subdivisions within Port Kennedy have undergone systematic UXO clearance for development. UXO materials will be removed to ensure the site is safe and suitable for use.

Yes, a significant number of vegetation will need to be removed as part of the unexploded ordnance remediation to ensure the site is safe and suitable for future development. We have the necessary structure plan and subdivision approval which were both referred to environmental authorities.

Prior to vegetation removal a number of grass trees will be removed and nurtured, to be incorporated int the future landscaping of the development, and a fauna relocation exercise will be undertaken.

During vegetation removal, a water cart will be on site to assist with dust suppression, and works will be undertaken in a controlled manner with consideration given to prevailing wind conditions and proximity to neighbouring areas.

There will be no impact on the conservation area, which is classified as a Conservation Category Wetland (CCW). The public open space will be retained, and the area will be managed for preservation and ecological restoration.

Once initial works have been completed, subdivision/civil works are expected to commence in Spring 2026 to prepare the land for development. This includes levelling land, building roads and footpaths, stormwater management and drainage, landscaping, installation of signage, street lighting and fencing, laying pipes for water, sewer and electricity, and environmental management.
