Plans have been approved for the latest stage of a Cockburn Central development comprising 173 apartments.
Harvest Properties submitted the application to the City of Cockburn Council in December.
The Metro Outer JDAP resolved to approve the development application this month.
The suburb of Cockburn Central, 24km from the Perth CBD, consists of a shopping centre and high-density residential as well as older industrial premises.
The subject site will be the final two stages of the broader Harvest Properties (WA) high-density development Harmony Apartments.
Building 1 of the project is already complete. The current application covers the second and third buildings on the site.
The dual-tower project will be delivered in two stages.
The first will deliver a seven-storey residential block of 90 units, with 122 car parks, landscaping and construction of a communal entry way.
The second stage consists of an eight-storey residential block of 83 apartments, another 75 car parks and a proposed northern access road.
The $50-million project is on a 12,007sq m site comprised of two lots at 1 Kentucky Court.
“(An) elevated level nine amenities deck will be highly visible to users of the freeway, trainline and North Lake Road, providing a beacon of recognition day or night for the new development that will become the envy of Cockburn,” according to Harvest Properties.
The development site has access and road frontage via Kentucky Court, which was built during the initial stage of the development.
Neighbouring sites are within the Cockburn Central North (Muriel Court) Structure Plan (MCLSP) Area and are yet to be developed.
“The development is of a high quality that will assist in the activation of the MCLSP area and subsequently encourage the further provision of accessible and affordable housing within the City of Cockburn,” the developers said.
While other markets in Australia have come off the boil, Perth has been heating up, with major projects coming forward, particularly around purpose-built student accommodation and build-to-rent.
Accord Property has recently expanded its Wellington Street PBSA, while DevelopmentWA has lodged plans for a build-to-rent project on Pier Street in Perth’s CBD.
