Positioned within the growing Town of Kwinana, the site has easy access to retail, educational and healthcare facilities, with the Wellard train station only a 5 minute drive away.

The land was recently rezoned to “Urban” under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.

A consultancy team has been put together to design and implement best-practice in terms of innovative urban design and sustainability. In particular, urbanist principles of linear park networks, multi-use corridors and an interconnected road network system are being implemented. These principles serve to enhance the natural features of the locality and provide legibility to residents and visitors.

The linear park network facilitates a quality pedestrian and leisure environment and promotes social interaction between residents. This network includes multi-use corridors that provide active vegetated linkages between the three high value ecological wetland areas and creates a more socially and environmentally sustainable community.

The interconnected road network responds to the environment and preserves the existing natural features of the locality. The connectivity of the road network creates permeability for pedestrians and cyclists and makes these modes of transport a more attractive and sustainable choice for residents. Further, the road network has been designed so roads terminate with a backdrop of the natural environment which increases the amenity and visual aesthetics of the Estate.

The project will create 500 residential lots, with design guidelines and building covenants ensuring the quality of homes that are ultimately built on the estate. Amex is working closely with a number of industry groups and builders to create realistic sustainability targets for both the land and housing components of the project, with a specific focus on community amenity, energy use and water conservation.
