FAQs

The City of Perth has committed to ensuring large areas of Wellington Square will continue to be accessible for the community to enjoy during the construction works. The successful contractor will be required to develop a schedule of works that takes into account the need to maintain access to the park at all times.

The City of Perth will engage with local residents and business owners for the duration of the construction works. A Construction Reference Group is being established for this phase of the project, with the aim of both informing the community about project progress, and seeking feedback from residents and business owners about their concerns during construction. Residents and businesses will be letterbox dropped when significant works are planned that may impact on them, and works that impact on specific park users (for example, the cricket club) will be flagged directly with those groups.

Whilst traditionally playspaces in the past were considered the domain of young children, the current best practice across the world is creating welcoming fun playspaces that everyone in the community can enjoy. Whether you are a parent with young children, a teenager, young adult or older member of the community, being able to recreate and have fun is a key focus of this iconic destination space.

Consultation with the community and stakeholders around the development of a Masterplan for Wellington Square commenced in 2016 and ran through to mid-2018.. The Final Masterplan that was endorsed by the City of Perth in September 2018 was a reflection of community and stakeholder aspirations for Wellington Square, and that stage of the planning process is now complete. However, the City of Perth will continue to work closely with stakeholders and the community to ensure any potential impacts of the construction works are effectively managed.

The Final Masterplan was endorsed by Council in September 2018.

In addition to local residents and businesses, City of Perth engaged with community services, environmental and heritage groups, sports organisations, the Whadjuk Working Party and educational institutions.
