The previous development agreement between DevelopmentWA and Lendlease was mutually terminated in 2021 due to complex ground conditions that rendered the original proposal unviable. Since then, Lendlease has delivered Trinity Avenue (completed in 2024), restoring access to Trinity College.

While major redevelopment is not currently progressing, the site remains within the Central Perth Redevelopment Area. The Riverside Redevelopment Scheme identifies preferred land uses including retail, residential, dining and entertainment. Any future proposals will be assessed in line with the site's context and compatibility with surrounding land uses.

No. Development of the site was delayed due to its complex geotechnical conditions, which require a specialised approach to development.

Interim landscaping works began in June 2025 to improve the amenity, safety and appearance of the Waterbank site in East Perth.

The playing fields and public open space are interim uses designed to activate the site while long-term development plans are being determined.

The works include temporary playing fields, native landscaping, upgraded footpaths and verge treatments, and new lighting and CCTV. The works are being managed by Lendlease, with Landscape Elements engaged to deliver the landscaping. Completion is expected by early 2026.

The interim landscaping works are being undertaken to improve the amenity, safety and appearance of the Waterbank site while long-term redevelopment options are considered.

Yes. To allow installation of new footpaths, the riverside shared path between Trinity Avenue and the Causeway will be closed from 15 September to 5 December 2025.
