TOWN OF
KWINANA
Town Centre
Master Plan and Design Guidelines
The Kwinana
Town Centre is made up of four
super-blocks including an educational
precinct, civic complex, the
Kwinana Hub shopping centre
and 34 hectares of undeveloped
land owned by the Department
of Housing and Works. The UDC
was engaged by the Town of Kwinana
to represent the community in
a two-day design workshop to
develop ideas for the revitalisation
of the Town Centre, and then
to refine the products of this
workshop and proceeded with
the preparation of design guidelines
for each of the four development
precincts.
The final Master Plan and Design
Guidelines were adopted by Council
in January 2008, and the UDC
continues to work with the Town
of Kwinana Planning Department
on various implementation projects,
including assessment of mixed-use
projects proposed for the new
“main street”, revitalisation
of the retail mall, housing
developments adjacent to the
Town Centre and detailed design
of the public environment.
With the Town Centre development firmly underway, the UDC is starting work on revitalization of a smaller neighbourhood centre in Medina, one of the oldest communities of the township which is renowned for its unusually attractive landscape qualities.
