I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) No specific research has been undertaken by Heritage Council staff to establish which is the oldest building along those two roads, which run through Fremantle and South Fremantle. However, a recent heritage assessment of the Ord Street precinct has confirmed that the address of the oldest building on the section of Ord Street that lies between Ellen and Knutsford Streets is 2 Ord Street, which was built in 1846. (2) No specific research has been undertaken by Heritage Council staff to establish the construction dates of buildings along those roads. The Ord Street precinct includes 16 buildings with Ord Street addresses. Of those, 12 were built prior to 1930. (3) The structural condition of other buildings along Hampton Road and Ord Street is unknown. Vibrations from heavy vehicles can reduce the life expectancy of old buildings. (4) There are no plans to declare any portion of Hampton Road part of a heritage precinct.
