Some of the world’s well-known destinations have undergone successful renewal after the rejuvenation of obsolete river ports.
Places like Canary Wharf in London, the Victoria and Albert Waterfront in Cape Town and Barangaroo in Sydney are evidence that well-planned redevelopment projects bring new global interest, strong economic returns and demand for integrated mixed-use, commercial, residential, tourist and entertainment development.
Creating a long-term shared vision and plan for the future of both Victoria Quay and North Quay, in partnership with the community, has the potential to promote Fremantle | Walyalup’s international credentials as a thriving maritime city and destination.
