PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Latitude 32 development area is located between Fremantle and Rockingham in Perth's rapidly expanding south-western corridor. Developed over a period of 30 years, the project will cater for an anticipated 10, 000 jobs.

The need to redevelop some 1,400 hectares of land to cater for mixed industrial and commercial uses was identified through a series of studies, culminating in the Fremantle Rockingham Industrial Area Regional Study (FRIARS) in 2000.

Following the introduction of the HVWRP Act 2000, LandCorp commenced purchasing properties in the Hope Valley and Wattleup townsites as part of its role in planning, developing and promoting the land within the project area.

The Latitude 32 Industry Zone presents a number of exciting opportunities, including:

• Development of eco-industrial park concepts to promote more efficient use of infrastructure and encourage the reuse and recycling of industrial by-products as inputs for other activities.
• Relocation of established industries to purpose-built precincts where they can profit through co-location with other businesses which have commercial synergy.
• Establishment of activities to complement and support current and proposed bulk cargo facilities.
• A logistics hub with accessible by road, rail or sea it will service the rapidly growing southern suburbs of Perth and the state's South-West region.
