Cockburn Coast Cultural Heritage Strategy

TPG was appointed by Landcorp to prepare a Cultural Heritage Strategy for the Cockburn Coast. The area is set to undergo an ‘urban renaissance’ with the once industrial area being transformed into a world-class residential and recreational precinct.

The study area includes a number of sites of considerable social, historic and cultural heritage significance, with the most visually prominent being the South Fremantle Power Station and the Robb Jetty Abattoir Chimney. Landscape plantings, sculptures, shipwrecks and sites of mythological and archaeological importance are also dispersed throughout the landscape creating layers of intrigue and interest.

The Strategy was commissioned to ensure that planning for the redevelopment of Cockburn Coast respects, enhances and interprets the significant collection of sites within its boundaries.
