(1) Planning for the Steel Blue Oval is being undertaken by the Town of Bassendean (the Town).
I understand that a Concept Planning Report for the Oval was prepared by consultants on behalf of the Town during 2010, and is available to view on the Town of Bassendean's website at www.bassendean.wa.gov.au
.
In summary, the Concept Plan considers two alternative scenarios, one based on the existing oval alignment and refurbishment of the current clubrooms on site; and one based on re-orienting the oval and constructing new clubrooms. Both scenarios propose development of any surplus land for housing.
(2) The Town of Bassendean's Town Centre Area Strategy, finalised in 2007, included consideration of the Steel Blue Oval site, given its proximity to a district shopping centre and the Success Hill and Bassendean Railway Stations. Preparation of the Concept Plan was the next step in determining development opportunities for the Oval.
(3) Consultation on the Town Centre Area Strategy identified redevelopment of the Oval as a key opportunity. The Town intends to commence further consultation on the possible development scenarios identified in the Concept Plan during forthcoming weeks. The consultation will include focus group meetings and broader public workshops.
(4) No detailed environmental surveys were carried out during concept planning for the site. Finalisation of any proposal would require comprehensive environmental and geotechnical surveys to be undertaken, along with the other necessary technical planning assessment.
