Sustainability

As Western Australia’s largest business and industry zone, Latitude 32 represents a major revolution in the industrial market, master planned to capture 21st century standards and trends.

Its aim is to establish a new benchmark in the key areas of environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Supported by the master plan for the project area, the long term vision for Latitude 32 is being carefully mapped out.

Latitude 32 will become a working community with planning in place to provide a full range of amenities. Banks, convenience shopping, quality food outlets, meeting areas and child care will all be considered part of the social amenity of the area.

The development will create an enhanced working environment for employees of the industry zone and other business in the area.

The industrial zone and the people working there will be connected to the landscape. Latitude32 has been planned to carefully balance the built environment with the natural values of the landscape.

The retention and reinforcement of key remnant vegetation ensures the landscape value of the area is retained long term. Importantly, landscape features, such as Long Swamp and other wetlands, will be protected and rejuvenated with additional plantings to create habitat corridors and buffers between development precincts and transport corridors. These landscaped and natural areas will provide amenity within the redevelopment area and important ecological linkages to adjacent regional parks and ‘Bush Forever’ sites.

Ensuring connectivity with nature, a series of pedestrian and bicycle links are proposed through landscape corridors, with bridges over transport corridors to connect to surrounding areas and regional parks.
