UNTAPPED POTENTIAL The Canning City Centre, as a Strategic Metropolitan Centre, wants to be a vibrant, attractive and user-friendly place. Presently, it is a car-dominated environment with most activities located in the Carousel Shopping Centre and bulky goods retail premises along Albany Highway. High quality urban development is lacking and large parcels of underdeveloped land, mostly near the train station contribute to its lack of intensity, diversity and place identity. The centre is far from being mature in terms of its role and function within the metropolitan context. It is a true brownfield site an untapped resource, strategically positioned and ready for development to meet its full potential through investment. The State Government s city planning blueprint Perth to Peel 3.5 M has identified the Canning City Centre as a Major Growth Area by 2031, with the Canning Train Station being a major transit orientated development location. The City of Canning is ideally located in Perth s south-eastern suburbs, about 10 kilometres from the Perth CBD and covers a total of 65 square kilometres. The City s residential population is 100,000 and is expected to grow to 150,000 by 2036. The City of Canning has a diverse and multicultural population, with 32.9% born overseas from a non-english speaking background. It is home of the vitally important Canning Vale and Welshpool, the state s largest industrial areas, that contributes to the city s overall GRP of $9.8B. The City of Canning wants to work with government and the private sector to create a diverse, vital, vibrant metropoliten centre that provides jobs, business opportunities and a sought after destination to live and recreate.
WE HAVE A re-energised city centre with a community heart that is connected, accessible, vital and resilient.
A VISION
A SMART VISION FOR ALL Working together with community, private sector and government partners, our aim to revitalise the Canning City Centre under a shared vision and place values; CONNECTED RESILIENT ACCESSIBLE VITAL ENERGISED STAGE ONE: The Canning City Centre Access and Activation Project will deliver key infrastructure to address identified deficiencies within the City Centre. The Project scope includes significant upgrades to the City Centre s main street (Cecil Avenue), creation of new bus lanes, more generous footpaths and cycle lanes, improved lighting, alfresco areas and streetscape improvements including tree planting, street furniture and the creation of urban streams. These works will deliver a high quality public realm to help shape and reinforce Cecil Avenue as the main spine of the Canning City Centre, improving access, movement, circulation, comfort, amenity and public safety. These initiatives will improve public transport connectivity and frequency and encourage more sustainable and healthy transport choices including walking and cycling. The City of Canning has all the attributes to be a sustainable strategic centre; 12 minutes from the Perth CBD via train 10km from Perth 65 sq km with 23% of the city centre undeveloped Canning Vale and Welshpool industrial areas Canning River runs through the centre of the city Canning Train Station is in the heart of the city Excellent regional transport connections Retail anchored with Westfield Carousel Population of 100,000 Canning GRP $9.8B 3rd highest in the metro area
STAGE TWO: Planned upgrades to Albany Highway, involving the creation of a new bus lane along the eastern side of Albany Highway from Cecil Avenue to Liege Street (opens 2018). This will provide safe access for public transport users and buses along Albany Highway and at key transition points for public transport services within the region. This $5 million project involves funding of approximately $0.5 million by the Public Transport Authority, $4 million in land and works by the Scentre Group (Westfield Carousel) and $0.5 million by the Bunnings Group. Undergrounding of 66kV power along Cecil Avenue and Carousel Road. Creation of a new public square on Cecil Avenue. STAGE THREE: The construction of a new roundabout at Liege Street and a new road linking this roundabout with Grey Street (Southern Link Road, Stage 1). This project is part of a program of works to be funded by contributions of key development partners - Westfield and Bunnings - and amount to approximately $6.42 million. The project will also support a number of significant development projects within the City, including: The $335 million redevelopment of the Westfield Carousel Shopping Centre to deliver an additional 47,108 sqm of floor space, greater retail diversity, an entertainment and leisure complex and a new Town Square. New high-density residential developments within the Canning City Centre, that will collectively deliver around 450 new 1-3 bedroom apartments.

A CITY OF POSSIBILITY Within the areas directly impacted by the Canning City Centre Project Master Plan, there is an estimated development potential of $2 - $2.4 billion. Investment of this level is expected to generate economic benefits in the order of $5 billion across the regional economy. The project master plan is expected to facilitate and leverage investment which will generate significant economic benefits for the regional economy over a notional 30-year period, including; $5.0 billion in output $1.7 billion in gross value added $921.5 million in wages and salaries 15,000 full-time equivalent jobs or an average of 497.6 jobs per annum The project will ultimately help to transform the Canning City Centre into a vibrant and attractive regional gateway where people choose to work, play and live. As such, the project is a key strategic enabler to achieve our vision of a connected accessible, resilient, vital and re-energised City Centre. The project is expected to have a significant and positive impact on the local and regional economy through increased output and new employment generation. An independent economic analysis conducted by RPS estimates that throughout the three-year construction phase, the project is expected to deliver 61.3 full time on-site construction jobs and indirectly support a total average full-time employment of 149.3 FTEs across building construction, technical services and retail industries. The project construction phase will also have a broader impact on the economic output of the Western Australian economy.

A PLACE FOR PEOPLE AMENITY The amenity improvements will have a direct impact on existing and planned property values in the area. The activation enabled by the project is expected to support value uplifts in excess of $30.5 million in total. The increase in values improves the viability of current and future development proposals by increasing equity and financing capacity. It also improves potential property sale prices. BUSINESS ACTIVITY The project has been modelled to increase overall business activity by 12%. This is equivalent to an annual increase in turnover of $1.7 million over the development of the project. INFILL HOUSING One of the key drivers of WA State Government policy is to establish a residential infill target of 47%. Increasing infill housing targets is a major factor influencing the ability to achieve the key State policies for greater urban consolidation. A target of 19,600 dwellings has been set for the City of Canning by 2031.
A CONNECTED CANNING LIGHT RAIL Light Rail connecting Canning City Centre to Canning Bridge Station via Bentley and Curtin University will enable increased economic development opportunities and greater access to amenities for the community. The city has ensured Light Rail can become a reality by future proofing the proposed rail alignment to accommodate all modes of transport. DEVELOPING THE RAIL STATION AND ALBANY HIGHWAY (ADJACENT TO WESTFIELD) The City of Canning is also looking to pursue options around the potential for the land value capture and amenity building opportunities of developing over Albany Highway and also Cannington Railway Station. Both long term projects represent the aspirational vision of the future of Canning and will not only provide a unique and direct rail river walking experience but will enable the Centre to flourish without the interruption of a large highway. This can be achieved by: allowing residential infill development in the City Centre to increase the population to as many as 25,000 people; increasing cycling coverage and allowing excellent access and connectivity to the south-west of the river and north-east of the railway line; and supporting cycling in the City Centre with proper facilities, infrastructure and priority. In order to increase the mode share of public transport the level of public transport coverage will need to be improved significantly as will the appeal of this mode. Cecil Avenue will be redesigned as a main street providing priority public transport lanes for buses in the interim and then light rail. ALBANY HIGHWAY BUS LANE Creating bus lanes along Albany Highway through the Canning City Centre will most certainly reduce the delays of buses along this heavily congested section of Albany Highway. Improvements to public transport, cycling and walking infrastructure in the Canning City Centre will encourage the greater use of these modes of transport which is important to the success of the Canning City Centre. A key goal in the regeneration of Canning City Centre is to achieve a more balanced level of access for the various transport modes. The target of the Plan is to significantly increase the mode share of public transport, cycling and walking.

CANNING TRANSIT ORIENTATED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) The TOD precinct located to the north of Cecil Avenue incorporates Cannington railway station and two of the three proposed civic squares. It will be a predominantly residential precinct with the intent of providing a range of housing, designed for people who choose to live on a lively urban environment close to amenity and transport. Although largely a residential precinct, the TOD will include some mixed-use, POS and small convenience retail to the north to service the local community, with an office, food and beverage focus to the south which will include a variety of small restaurants, cafes and entertainment. It is intended to optimise the number of apartments developed around the train line within a walkable distance of the railway station.
