Thank you very much, member for
Bateman, for the question and for your interest in the ongoing development of
Perth and ensuring that we can meet the necessary density targets in Perth and
[email protected] million by 2035, I think, and what LandCorp has been doing to make a contribution
towards that. Members in this house would have heard of the Cockburn coast
redevelopment area. It comprises 106 hectares and is about four kilometres
south of Fremantle. In 15 to 20 years it will be home to about 12 000 residents
in some 6 000 dwellings. Over the full course of the project we are looking at
a direct contribution—public and private—to the project of some
$5 billion and nearly $14 billion of economic activity generated through about
9 000 construction jobs. In April last year we announced the start of the first
stage that LandCorp is doing. The total area for the Shoreline development is
47 hectares. We signalled last year that it was stage 1 of a seven-stage
project for the Shoreline development. Today we hit a milestone for the
delivery of that first stage of the Shoreline development. All the civil works
and all the landscaping has been completed, allowing now for the sale of lots.
Already, five significant apartment lots and 15 residential lots have been sold
or are in the final stages of sale. That gives us a strong signal that the
market is ready to soak up what land has been made available. Today we are
putting on the market another four apartment lots and some more residential
lots will go out.
What I saw today was the transformation of what was
essentially industrial land to what will now be an activated, state-of-the-art,
contemporary residential development at a level of density that is commensurate
with where we expect Perth to grow to. Being on the coast is significant to
people who might want to invest on the coastline. It is less than a kilometre
to the beach over the rail line —
Mr F.M. Logan interjected.
Mr D.T. REDMAN :
The member for Cockburn should be very happy with what is happening there.
Mr F.M. Logan interjected.
Mr D.T. REDMAN : It
is out of his area. It is a wonderful area, member for Fremantle.
I am really happy with the work that LandCorp has done to get
to this point. When that organisation pulls the trigger for this stuff to
happen, it really gets on with the job. I also want to pay tribute to the Mayor
of the City of Cockburn for his support. I am really happy with where the
project is at. It has all the elements of what we need to be doing in the
metropolitan area. Seeing the level of interest that is there now is significant.
The other little warm and fuzzy for the day is a little piece
of artwork. A fellow by the name of Robin Yakinthou is the artist who built a sculpture
of a light horseman out of steel and recycled metal. It is spectacular. That
area has an industrial background; therefore, the metal depicts that. Having a light
horseman where the training occurred for many Western Australian light horsemen
in the 10 th Australian Light Horse Regiment before they went away to
World War I thoroughly depicts the history of that area and fits right in with
what is a fantastic contemporary project that this government is delivering in
meeting its targets under its development plan.
