The project site is generally bounded by Walpole Street to the North, Manning Road to the South, Pollock Street and Bentley Primary School to the East, and Dumond Street to the West.

The Bentley Redevelopment Scheme is the new planning framework under which Bentley will be developed. The draft Scheme is available on DevelopmentWA’s planning page or on this webpage under the 'Document Library' . The Scheme includes details on how to make a comment.
Stage 1 is the first phase of the redevelopment project, focusing on the subdivision of land for:
- The 46 residential lots
- Two development sites, and
- Three public open spaces.
As part of Stage 1, extensive remediation earthworks are required to ensure the site is safe and suitable for new homes to be developed. This process involves excavation and replacement of soil (up to 10 metres deep) across an area of approximately 8-hectares.
The construction of houses is not part of Stage 1 works. However, the land will be made ready for a diverse mix of housing to be built in the future.
