Plans Filed for Perth’s Sorrento Plaza Precinct

Megara's Sorrento Plaza Project, a mixed-use residential project in Perth, Western Australia.

Megara Developments has filed plans for its Shaping Sorrento project with Western Australia’s State Development Assessment Unit. 

The MJA Studio-designed plans for the Sorrento Plaza Precinct at 128-136 West Coast Drive, 2-4 Padbury Circle and 2 Drakes Walk, Sorrento include 75 apartments, a liquor store, a restaurant and a cafe. 

The Western Australian Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage lists the value of the project at $73.7 million and is undertaking joint consultation with the City of Joondalup council to streamline the planning process.

The plans are currently open for public comment.

Megara began consultation in December 2019 with an online survey, followed by community workshops and focus groups between August and October 2021, before a DA was lodged in December 2021.

The Western Australian Planning Commission initially approved a Sorrento Activity Centre Plan in 2017 which was later superseded by a Precinct Structure Plan.

The Precinct Structure Plan was prepared by WCD Pty Ltd.

The entire site is 5777sq m in size. 

The plans propose two food and beverage tenancies, a public plaza, a bottleshop, 80 public car parking spaces and four motorbike spaces on the ground floor, along with the lobby for the residential apartments.

The mezzanine has 78 resident car parking spaces and the first floor has 77 resident car parking spaces along with three three-bedroom apartments and six two-bedroom apartments.

The second floor has landscaping, outdoor al fresco areas, a gym, cocktail lounge, private dining room and swimming pool and seven three-bedroom units, six two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units.

The third floor has nine three-bedroom units, seven two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units.

The fourth floor has one four-bedroom unit, six three-bedroom units, six two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units.

There are three two-bedroom units, two four-bedroom units and four three-bedroom units on the fifth floor. 

Two two-bedroom units, two three-bedroom units and two four-bedroom units are on the sixth floor with two four-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit on the seventh floor.

The plans are open for public comment until August 26.

ASIC records show that Matthew Glen Pickford, Chad William Scott and Jamie Troy Clarke are directors of both WCD and Megara.

Megara Twenty One Pty Ltd owns 4 Padbury Circle while WCD owns 130 and 134 West Coast Drive. 

WCD bought 130 West Coast Drive from Rodney Michael and Mary Anne O’Mara for $6.9 million and 134 West Coast Drive from Peter John Peard for $2.85 million both in November 2018. 

 Gregory Michael Rafferty owns 2 Drakes Walk which he purchased in January 2000 for $450,000 from Shirley Fay Strawbridge.

Daughter of Western Australian businessman Harold Clough, Rebecca Margaret Clough’s company Rebecca Vidler Nominees owns 2 Padbury Circle and Unit 1 at 136 West Coast Drive.
