Future of Fremantle

With Kwinana announced as the preferred location for Perth’s new container port, the Future of Fremantle is a visionary project for the long-term redevelopment of the Fremantle | Walyalup Inner Harbour and surrounding land.

Fremantle | Walyalup is located on Whadjuk Country and we acknowledge the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and waterways. 

For more than 120 years, Fremantle | Walyalup has been home to a working port. With a new container port being planned for Kwinana as part of Westport, the Future of Fremantle project is a rare chance to understand the long-term economic, social and cultural opportunities available to Fremantle Harbour precinct and how those opportunities can position Fremantle for a prosperous and exciting future.

The Future of Fremantle project is developing a place and economic vision to guide the long-term redevelopment of the Inner Harbour precinct. The process has explored opportunities to transform the Inner Harbour precinct into a world-class waterfront and tourism destination and to bring a new era of investment to Fremantle and the wider region through diverse industry sectors.

Extensive engagement involving more than 1,000 people from community, industry and government has helped inform the visioning process. 

Later in 2024 a recommended Place and Economic Vision for the future redevelopment of the Inner-Harbour precinct will be presented to the WA Government.
