Funding boost delivered for Perth’s first coastal pool at Ocean Reef Marina with EOI open for developer

Funding boost delivered for Perth’s first coastal pool at Ocean Reef Marina with EOI open for developer
December 11, 2022

The Western Australian Government has allocated $223 million to deliver Perth’s first coastal pool at Ocean Reef Marina and through DevelopmentWA, is seeking a master developer to deliver the first stage development sites.

The precinct is set to become a popular new destination, with the pool deck extended and the addition of an architecturally-designed hospitality building.

The additional funding ensures new and improved community benefits will be developed including a fun play space, public art interpretation and inclusive facilities, while also covering general cost escalations on the project as a result of Western Australia’s strong economy.

Plans for the coastal pool were initially introduced to the Marina project as a result of strong community feedback, and it is anticipated the Ocean Reef Marina pool, once complete, will be a significant tourism drawcard for Ocean Reef and WA.

This announcement coincides with the release of a unique precinct scale waterfront development opportunity through an Expressions of Interest (EOI) process, which will bring the Ocean Reef town centre to life.

The WA Government, through DevelopmentWA, is seeking a master developer to deliver the first stage development sites suited to a range of retail and food and beverage options, alongside residential and short-term holiday accommodation and commercial land.

Once complete, Ocean Reef Marina will become an iconic waterfront precinct providing recreational, tourism, residential and boating facilities for local residents and visitors. The new Marina will have capacity for up to 550 boat pens, 200 boat stackers, new boat ramps, more than double the existing trailer parking, and will see the construction of a family beach.

More than 1,000 residential dwellings will also be incorporated into the master plan, offering a range of diverse housing options including residential homesites and apartment living, with the first residential lots expected to be released in 2024.

In addition to the Marina development, the State Government is investing a further $106 million to prepare land for sale to the private sector for residential development, with proceeds to offset the cost of the total project.

EOIs for the town centre open at 10am (WST), Monday 12th December 2022 and close at 2pm (WST), Tuesday 21st February 2023.
