Subiaco East Redevelopment Project

The master plan is the blueprint for future development and considers building heights, landscaping, transport and access and many other elements. The Subi East Master Plan was finalised in November 2020 following community consultation led by DevelopmentWA.

Subiaco Oval is open to the public outside of school hours. New turf has been laid, interim landscaping has been installed and the heritage gates have been restored. 

Future use of Subiaco Oval will be shared between junior sports, general community use, Bob Hawke College and the West Australian Football Commission. The City is working with stakeholders to finalise a shared user agreement which will outline the use, management and maintenance of the oval. 

The demolition of Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) is expected to take 18 months. Preliminary works began in August 2020 and external structural demolition is schedule to commence in early 2021. DevelopmentWA has formed a Community Reference Group to provide feedback to the contractor throughout the demolition process.

DevelopmentWA is collecting photographs, stories and memories of PMH to keep in a time capsule that will be buried in the redevelopment PMH precinct, and opened in 109 years. 

Bob Hawke College, on Kitchener Park next to Subiaco Oval, opened in February 2020 for year seven students. Stage 2 construction will begin in mid-2021. By 2025 the school is expected to cater for years seven to 12.  

Construction of Bob Hawke College is being led by the Department of Education. Information about the school and its construction is available at www.education.wa.edu.au/innercitycollege

One of the agreed principles in the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the City of Subiaco and the state government is investigating a potential co-shared multi-use recreation facility during the master planning phase. The investigation will consider funding, ownership and management of a suitable site. A site has been identified on the masterplan. Before making a decision, the City will consider the best outcomes for the community, in consultation with the community.

The Kitchener Common Masterplan is the City’s vision for the precinct. The Masterplan was adopted by council in March 2017 following consultation on the North Subiaco Structure Plan and community feedback on different scenarios for Subiaco Oval. The masterplan was updated in August 2017 to account for the state government's proposal and will be a reference point as the City progresses its partnership with LandCorp and the MRA. 

The City of Subiaco and the State Government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in February 2018, securing future public access to Subiaco Oval and addressing the master planning for the precinct. The MOU includes the City’s priorities and outlines how master planning will address traffic, transport, access and parking arrangements, as well as heritage interpretation of the precinct. 

The City of Subiaco and DevelopmentWA prepared and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in October 2023, to guide the implementation and handover phase of the Subiaco East Redevelopment Area. The MOU includes provisions to manage the handover of key assets, and for the transfer of planning control.

Subiaco East Memorandum of Understanding Item 13.1 Minutes - Ordinary Council Meeting 29 August 2023

The City is advocating for the conversion of Hay Street and Roberts Road to two-way traffic, and is liaising with City of Perth, Main Roads and other stakeholders on the proposal. Concept designs and traffic modelling have been completed. Funding for this project was not included in the state government's business case for Subi East, and the City is actively seeking state and federal funding opportunities. This is a priority project for the City.

The City is advocating for a cultural precinct honouring arts, culture, heritage and sport to be included as part of the masterplan. Located at Western Australia’s historic home of football, the space would celebrate the long history and cultural contribution of football at the iconic Subiaco Oval. The City is investigating funding opportunities to support this project.
