Stage 1 Civil Works

Stage 1 is located between Taree Street (west), Pitt Street (north), and Pollock Street (east). The Stage 1 subdivision has created 41 residential lots, three development sites, a new road network and public open spaces.

Over time, Stage 1 will form part of the wider 21-hectares of underutilised State Government land, being prepared for urban renewal. Stage 1 lots have been released, with many already sold. Visit the Heartwood Bentley page for land sales information.

Stage 1 Landscaping

DevelopmentWA has appointed LD Total as the landscaping contractor to deliver a new park and a playgrounds within Stage 1 of the project, with works already underway on site. So far works have included fencing, walls and paving.

Further updates will be communicated as works progress, with landscaping expected to be complete by September 2026.

Remediation Works

Further substantial remediation is required across the remainder of the redevelopment area to ensure the site is safe and suitable for future development. This is because the area is the location of a former sand quarry, which has been backfilled with various materials over time.

Remediation works involves removing and replacing unsuitable soil, such as loose sand and gravel, with compacted, stable material. The excavation is proposed to be backfilled to match existing levels at the boundary of an 8-hectare area of the site. This process ensures the land is safe for homes, parks, and roads into the future.

Bulk excavation started in mid-January and will continue in stages until September 2026.

Managing Impacts

The areas that require remediation will remain fenced and closed to the public. While every effort will be made to minimise disruption, the community may experience temporary noise, increased traffic from construction vehicles and increased dust or sand spill. We thank you for your patience.
