30/01/2025

A 50-year plan to turn the Fremantle port into one of the world’s greatest waterfront cities has been endorsed by the Western Australian Government.

The Future for Fremantle project to revitalise the Fremantle Inner Harbour was launched off the back of the state’s decision to make Kwinana, to Perth’s south, the preferred location for a new container port for long-term freight activities, to be called Westport.

The bold and ambitious vision for the future redevelopment of Fremantle’s harbour precinct would transform the area into a globally significant, city-scale development once trades have relocated. The Future of Fremantle Place and Economic Vision builds on Fremantle’s unique identity, proposing culturally vibrant urban spaces with strong connections to more than 10 kilometres of ocean and river frontage.

With global warming on the rise, reinforcing structures for longevity is imperative. In 2000, this heritage-listed building installed ROOT BARRIER™ to protect its foundations. How is it holding up over 20 years later?

The team at Root Barrier believe that their foundation reinforcing works should be sturdy, durable and most importantly, long lasting. Root Barrier revisited Warwick Police Station and Courthouse in Perth where they installed their ROOT BARRIER™ back in the year 2000. The heritage-listed structure is still standing straight and true thanks to the civil works that the company did over 20 years ago.

Representing one of its most ambitious projects to date, ForPark is thrilled with the completion of Copper City playground. The largest and most challenging project undertaken by the play specialists, ForPark’s playscape blends seamlessly with the surrounding terrain.

Given the harsh environment in Queensland’s “top end”, from baking heat to torrential rains, the upgraded playground needed to stand up to the climate extremes of the region. All the structures provide heavy-duty defences against deterioration while still prioritising the mining town heritage of Mt Isa.
