The final Master Plan for the East Perth Power Station will establish a framework for the project area’s land use, including public space, built form structure and design, infrastructure requirements and environmental outcomes.

The design framework will consider elements such as the following:

• Building on the setting – Responding to and enhancing the site’s special characteristics, such as its social, cultural and physical heritage and its links with other destinations.
• Enhancing the quality and enjoyment of the river foreshore - Encouraging water recreation through berthing and mooring opportunities; jetties for ferries and public use; rowing, canoeing and kayaking facilities; and cafés and kiosks.
• Reconnecting with the city – Ensuring the development is not self contained or isolated but an integral part of Perth’s city heart.
• Fostering a mixed-use precinct – Developing a sustainable mix of living, working and recreational activities.
• Optimising Transit Oriented Development (TOD) benefits – Capitalising on the site’s proximity to road, rail and future water facilities, optimising all the benefits of integrating transit with mixed-use development.
• Providing a variety of public open spaces – Creating a lively and diverse network of memorable streets, landscaped parks, plazas and walkways.
• Focusing on sustainability – Ensuring environmental sensitivity through remediation, integrated water management, energy efficient built form, social and affordable housing and economic viability.

The East Perth Power Station will be a popular destination that celebrates our heritage and is strongly connected with its surrounding neighbourhood and the city centre.
