Public open space
At the moment, the public open space network in Development Area 6 (DA6) includes several ‘pocket parks’ surrounding the former Brearley Avenue road reserve. The draft Activity Centre Plan proposes to reconfigure the existing public open space network into the following corridors.
The existing public open space provision will change from 3.614 hectares to 3.6623 hectares. This represents an increase of 484m², which represents 8.72% of subdivisible land within the precinct.
Public Open Space Corridor (POS 1, POS 2 and POS 3)
The former Brearley Avenue road reserve will be transformed into the Public Open Space Corridor (POS 1, POS 2 and POS 3) linking Great Eastern Highway with Redcliffe Train Station. It will cover a total area of 2.35 hectares and incorporate a realigned Southern Main Drain and a range of recreational spaces.
Station Plaza (POS 4)
This will include land immediately surrounding Redcliffe Train Station, which will be developed as a plaza space to encourage high levels of activity centre pedestrian use.
Linear Woodland Green Link (POS 5)
The Linear Woodland Green (POS 5) will be created from surplus Tonkin Highway road reserve. This will be designed as a pedestrian and cyclist link between Victoria Street North and Stanton Road, next to Redcliffe Primary School.
Other public open spaces
As outlined in the draft Activity Centre Plan, there could be other opportunities for public open space within the DA6 precinct, including the shared use of the Redcliffe Primary School oval and land within Perth Airport estate.

FAQs
To support new development and the operation of the future Redcliffe Train Station, the area needs needs new infrastructure which includes:
- The realignment of the Southern Main Drain
- Public open space areas
- New road connections and upgrades to the existing local road networks
- Capacity upgrades to the existing water, sewer and gas infrastructure
- Underground power
The draft Activity Centre Plan outlines priorities for the delivery of infrastructure in the precinct.
Highest priority
- Landscape public open space around Redcliffe Train Station;
- Construct a roundabout at the intersection of Second Street and Boulder Avenue at the entrance of the Park and Ride facility supporting Redcliffe Train Station;
- Deliver road connections surrounding Redcliffe Train Station, including a connection between Central Avenue and Bulong Avenue and Bulong Avenue and Second Street.
High priority
- Realign and transform the Southern Main Drain into an urban stream;
- Realign services and utilities in the former Brearley Avenue road reserve;
- Deliver and landscape the central area of public open space within the former Brearley Avenue road reserve;
- Deliver a road connection between Kanowna Avenue and Boulder Street.
Medium priority
- Upgrade local roads and undertake streetscape improvements;
- Deliver underground power;
- Upgrade existing water, sewer and gas infrastructure.
Low priority
- Investigate and deliver additional areas of public open space
The Southern Main Drain is an open-channel regional drain which carries water from Kalamunda to the Swan River. It sits next to Brearley Avenue between Kanowna Avenue East and Central Avenue.
It is proposed that this drain be realigned and reconfigured into a living urban stream, as part of a central area of public open space.
