Remediation works
While Stage 1 is complete, 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 back filled with various materials over time.
Remediation works will involve 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.
Site clearing and topsoil stripping works are expected to begin in December 2025. Bulk excavation is expected to start in mid-January and continue in stages until late-August 2026.
Managing impacts
The broader redevelopment site impacted by 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.
Stage 1 Overview
Located 8km south of the Perth CBD and spanning 2.7 hectares, Stage 1 is located between Taree Street (west), Pitt Street (north), and Pollock Street (east).
The Stage 1 subdivision has created lots for a high-quality, modern residential community with a mix of homes and green open spaces. This stage delivers:
- 41 residential lots
- Three development sites
- A new road network
- 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, now known as Heartwood Bentley.
The Bentley Redevelopment Area covers 31 hectares which is being transformed into a vibrant, well-connected, new neighbourhood designed for a growing and diverse community.
Landscaping is due to begin in early 2026, creating attractive green streets and community spaces.
Remediation works for the remainder of the project area will continue in parallel to prepare for future stages.
