Fremantle Ports continues to progress the planning and development of the western end of Victoria Quay, with a number of elements of the Fremantle Waterfront Masterplan now in place.
Working with other agencies and with community input, the aim is to achieve a revitalisation of this area of the waterfront and to improve links with the City of Fremantle.
Elements of the Masterplan now in place include the Maritime Museum, which was developed by the State Government and opened in 2002, O’Connor Landing where the ferries berth, realignment of Peter Hughes Drive, and refurbishment of historic B Shed to house a ferry terminal and café (pictured below).
The Phillimore Street Integrated Master Plan has been developed to improve linkages between Fremantle city centre and the Victoria Quay waterfront.
Planning has also been undertaken in relation to future mixed use commercial development in the area of Victoria Quay between the Fremantle Railway Station and the waterfront.
A number of heritage buildings within this commercial precinct, including the former Immigration Building, the Waiting Room and C Shed would be retained and re-used.
