The City of Kwinana and developers jointly fund the $6,2M infrastructure through a per-lot contribution system ($2,999.10 per lot). Contributions cover construction and sustainability features.

The design uses low-CO₂ materials (recycled steel, low-VOC paints) and energy-efficient features like natural ventilation, shaded areas, and rainwater harvesting. A zero-waste policy ensures 90% of construction debris is recycled.

No culturally significant sites will be disrupted. Ecological surveys guided buffer zones around sensitive habitats, and native landscaping will be used to support biodiversity.

• Noise/Traffic: Phased construction schedules and noise barriers will minimise impacts. Real-time traffic updates will be shared via this engagement platform.

• Oval Parking (School Overflow parking): The Oval car park will be closed for the duration of the project to allow for the site offices, material drop down location and the build site. 

• A 650m² community facility with a commercial kitchen, meeting rooms, and public toilets.

• Additional seald parking bays for the school and the oval.

• New sports and activities to the area. 

• New spaces for the public to use for private events and hire. 

• Daily hazard assessments and mandatory PPE for workers.
