Signage plays a big role in shaping a place’s identity—it helps people find their way and adds to the overall character of an area.   We’re excited to see our signage designs come to life at Civic Heart in South Perth. As part of our signage strategy for this new residential precinct, our designs help create a seamless and modern experience for residents and visitors.   Civic Heart is bringing fresh energy to the Mends Street Precinct, with two iconic luxury apartment towers and fantastic amenities, including a wellness spa, outdoor gyms, theatres, a kids' play area, and a private sky deck on level 37. On the ground floor, a mix of food and hospitality venues—like The Station, which has transformed the heritage-listed Old South Perth Police Station—adds to the vibrancy of the area.   Our signage reflects this new identity—modern, minimalist, and easy to navigate—helping people explore and enjoy everything Civic Heart has to offer.   It was a pleasure working with Finbar Group Limited and @timdavislandscaping on this project. #wayfinding #signage #placebranding #placeidentity

Have you walked or cycled on Boorloo Bridge yet?   Boorloo Bridge is a transformative addition to Perth’s urban landscape, enhancing connectivity between South Perth and the CBD, while celebrating the area’s deep cultural heritage.   Element Advisory Part of SLR is proud to have played a key role in shaping this project, delivering planning, public art, wayfinding, and cultural interpretation to ensure the bridge is not just a piece of landmark infrastructure, but also a much-loved asset with a meaningful connection to place.   Collaboration was central to our approach. Working alongside a diverse team — including the Matagarup Elders Group — our work ensured that the bridge authentically reflects Noongar history and culture. Through interpretation signage and public art, these important stories have been brought to light and shared with the wider community.   We are incredibly proud of this project and the opportunity to contribute to a place that deeply respects and celebrates cultural significance. Our team is now bringing this approach to new infrastructure projects across WA. Watch this space!   Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing the Boorloo Bridge vision to life.

Congratulations to Parron Development, Atmos Renewables, Zephyr Energy and the project team on securing development approval for WA’s largest wind farm yet!    Years in the making, the Parron Wind Farm located in Badgingarra in the Shire of Dandaragan will be capable of exporting up to 489MW of electricity to support the SWIS and help WA transition to a cleaner energy future.   Through the pursuit of integrated Development, Environment and Aboriginal Heritage regulatory approvals, this project will deliver a brighter future for all.  It has been designed to maximise energy output whilst avoiding impacts on environmental values and working with the Yued Corporation to better understand and respect potential cultural heritage significance.    Consolidating the collaborative working relationship with Shire of Dandaragan through the development assessment process, this project supports regional liveability in WA’s windy wheatbelt region. It sets a new benchmark in the race for renewables, aligned with the Clean Energy Council’s aspirations for Community Benefit and committing to $1000 per mw of constructed MW capacity over the 35 year project life.    Having achieved critical project status for fast tracked connection, the Parron Wind Farm is carving out an exciting new pathway towards a socially, environmentally and economically sound future – diversifying risk for traditional agriculture, sharing new opportunities for regional communities and generating green power for the benefit of WA at large.    Emerge Associates, Aurecon, Porter Consulting Engineers, Aviation Projects and Herring Storer Acoustics #development #renewables #sustainability #planning

Since 2023, Element Advisory Part of SLR and Real Asset Management Group have been working to enable development of a hospital on the site of the existing Woodbridge Medical Centre in Cooloongup. This required an amendment to the Local Planning Scheme. We gained support from the City of Rockingham in April 2024, and the proposed scheme amendment was advertised in July. Together with our project partners, Bridge42, HSPC Health Architects, PLACE Lab and Urbii, we are pleased to announce the latest project milestone. The City of Rockingham has endorsed the scheme amendment. We’ll now seek approval from the Minister for Planning, anticipated to be in the first quarter of 2025. #development #planning #advisory #health

Element Advisory is a proud multi-award winner at the recent Planning Institute of Australia WA Awards! The Kal City Centre Redevelopment won three categories: Great Place, Regional Project and Minister's Award.
