PERTH’S FIRST MULTI AGE PRECINCT (MAP)

We are excited to announce that the WA Premier, the Honourable Colin Barnett, launched Perth’s first MAP on Thursday December 15th 2016.  It is being constructed at Claremont on the Park development around the Claremont football oval.

This is a project planned and overseen by LandCorp, The Western Australian Government’s land and development agency.  When complete, Claremont on the Park will include over 750 homes for  approximately 2,000 residents, as well as a vibrant mix of retail and commercial opportunities arranged around Claremont Oval. LandCorp’s master planned  precinct incorporates a development by Blackburne featuring approximately 140 apartments, along with a supermarket, shops, café and a service provider (Amana Living) who will provide lifestyle and aged care services to precinct residents and nearby local communities.  Read more…

PerthALIVE is a not-for-profit organisation made up of Western Australian community members.  We promote alternative urban design that accommodates people of all ages and specifically supports aging in place.  We believe that people at different stages of life have a lot in common.  We believe there is room for a different type of development that suits people of all ages and which is vibrant, concentrated and mixed-use. This calls for an inter-generational approach to housing supply. Become a Member now!  If you share our interest in intergenerational housing, why not become a Perth ALIVE member?
