WASHINGTON: Waterfront homes for thousands of people, an international standard cruise ship terminal and a $1 billion boost to State Government coffers are key outcomes of an ambitious plan to change the face of the southern side of Fremantle port.
Fremantle mayor Brad Pettitt said the metamorphosis of South Quay would be a highly appropriate “special project” for WA’s bicentennial celebrations in 2029. “We have a new airport and we have a new river gateway at Elizabeth Quay — now we need a redeveloped world-class ocean gateway,” he said. And it could be done at no net cost to the State Government. The plans come as the Barnett Government’s proposed sale of the port is teetering.
