Completed in April 2026, the works included temporary playing fields, native landscaping, upgraded footpaths and verges, and new lighting and CCTV. Lendlease managed the project, with Landscape Elements engaged to deliver the landscaping.

The playing fields and public open space are interim uses designed to activate the site while long-term development plans are being determined.

The interim landscaping works were undertaken to improve the amenity, safety and appearance of the Waterbank site while long-term redevelopment options are considered.

The previous development agreement between DevelopmentWA and Lendlease was mutually terminated in 2022 due to complex ground conditions that rendered the original proposal unviable. Since then, Lendlease has delivered Trinity Avenue (completed in 2024), restoring access to Trinity College.

No. Development of the site was delayed due to its complex geotechnical conditions, which require a specialised approach to development.

Waterbank remains within the Central Perth Redevelopment Area and is currently being activated through interim uses, including the Perth Bears training facility. While there are no current plans progressing for major redevelopment of the site, any future use would be considered through future planning processes, government decisions and relevant statutory approvals.
