LONG TERM VISIONARY PLAN TO TRANSORM FREMANTLE | WALYALUP PORT PRECINCT The Cook Government has endorsed a long-term visionary plan to transform Fremantle Port precinct into one of the world’s great waterfront cities. The precinct’s 260 hectares of land and 10 kilometres of exceptional ocean and river frontage has capacity to deliver for: ✅ up to 45,000 additional jobs across diversified industry sectors; ✅ up to 20,000 new homes including social housing; and ✅ up to 55,000 new residents. The Future of Fremantle Place and Economic Vision considers opportunities to unlock the port precinct’s potential by transforming the harbour into a vibrant, contemporary and sustainable expansion of the historic city of Fremantle. This is a bold vision that will reinforce Fremantle’s identity as an eclectic, dynamic and resilient waterfront city and one of the world’s great places to live, work and visit.

Last year, the Alliance attended meetings in San Diego and Newport News to explore best-practice social licence approaches for defence, focusing on effective ways to engage with communities. Our latest report reviews a range of programs we studied and assesses their impact in the context of #AUKUS in Western Australia. While the report does not prescribe which approaches should be adopted, it highlights what might be most effective. What it does make clear is that more must be done to engage with the Perth South West community. As we approach the federal election, we hope to see our leaders stepping forward to have open conversations with our communities about both the opportunities and challenges of AUKUS and how we can work together to secure the best outcomes for our region - Australia’s home of AUKUS.
