We’re upgrading the northern part of Booyeembara Park and inviting community feedback on the draft concept designs.

Booyeembara Park is one of Fremantle’s most unique and valued public open spaces. Classified as one of three Regional Parks within the City, "Boo Park" has a rich and layered history shaped through long term collaboration between community, Council and consultants. Over the past 28 years, this collective effort has transformed the site from its former life as a limestone quarry and municipal tip into a cherished place where nature, recreation, culture and community combine.

The City of Fremantle is planning a series of upgrades to the northern section of the park, focused on renewing ageing infrastructure, completing areas that remain unfinished, and improving how this part of the park connects to surrounding development and other community facilities. The current northern-section upgrades are not a standalone project; they are the next step in a long history, building on the park’s long-term master planning, previous community consultation and stewardship, whilst also responding to increased use of the park and the adjacent golf-course redevelopment.

This part of the project will explore improvements to a range of spaces in the northern area, including:

  • Park entrance and community gathering spaces such as the Olive Grove and Storytelling Circle
  • Play and recreation areas including the playground, skatepark and proposed multicourt
  • Nature and habitat opportunities, including enhancing conservation in the wetland area
  • Future paths, access and connectivity throughout the park

We're now inviting the community to help us shape the next stage of Booyeembara Park by sharing your thoughts on what is planned. From playground, skatepark and community gathering spaces to natural areas, your input will help shape how this part of the park looks, feels and functions.

How can the community influence the project?

We are asking the public to:

  • Learn more about the project scope and the context of the site by exploring the Frequently Asked Questions and explainer document listed below.
  • Share your thoughts and ideas on the draft concept designs by completing the Boo Park: North Survey.
  • View the associated materials, talk to City officers and provide feedback in person at the Boo Park North Community Drop-In-Session (details below).

How can you meet with City Officers to discuss the project and your feedback?

  • Attend the drop-in session: Drop-in sessions allow the public to meet with City staff to ask questions about the project, seek clarification and guidance on how to best submit feedback. These are informal sessions that allow the public to come and go during the time period provided. To learn more, visit our How We Engage page here.
  • Request a 1:1 or group meeting with city staff to discuss your thoughts.

  • When: 6 June 2026
  • Where: Sullivan Hall, White Gum Valley

  • Keep you informed, listen to and acknowledge concerns and provide feedback on how public input influenced the project.

    The Booyeembara Park (North) Upgrade is not a new project — it’s the next step in a long-term, community-shaped vision.

    Since 1993, the City of Fremantle in collaboration with community representatives, Friends of Boo Park and local elders have embarked on a series of ongoing consultation and community engagement projects to create a shared vision, promote ongoing stewardship and guide current and future management, priorities and implementation of upgrade works across Booyeembara Park.

    We've put together a handy explainer that outlines the history, context and shared vision for Boo Park.

    The Montreal St Open Space Concept Plan was developed in 1997 and adopted by the City of Fremantle in 1998 after extensive public consultation. This concept plan identified the major elements, narratives and visions for what is now known as Booyeembara Park.

    You can read the Montreal St Open Space Concept Plan (1997) document here.

    You can read the Montreal St Open Space Concept Plan Report (1999) document here.

    In 1999/2000 the Booyeembara Park Landscape Master Plan was produced by Ecoscape, Mary Warinner Landscape Architecture, Space Consultants, Urban Thresholds and Natural Power Systems, in close collaboration with local elders, community representatives and the City. The plan was structured around a set of thematic axes and narratives tied to geomorphology, recycling/history, and community use, which is why subsequent City led consultation and related projects still refer back to it as the foundational document.

    This Masterplan has been followed by the following guiding reviews and reports:

    • Booyeembara Park Bushland Management Plan (Ecoscape 2000)
    • Booyeembara Park Strategic Review (Ecoscape 2006)
    • Detailed Site Investigation (OTEK 2010)
    • Site Management Plan (GHD 2014)
    • Booyeembara Mountain Biking Park Overview (Fremantle Mountain Biking Collective 2018)

    This project takes into consideration the aims and directions laid out in the City's Public Open Space Strategy 2024 - 2034.

    In today’s rapidly changing world, public open spaces serve as vital sanctuaries, providing communities with places for recreation, relaxation, social interaction, and connection with nature. As population growth, climate change, and urbanisation pose significant challenges, the value of these spaces becomes increasingly evident.

    The purpose of the City of Fremantle Public Open Space (POS) Strategy is to provide a clear strategic direction and framework for the provision and management of POS within the City. In doing so, the Strategy recognises the challenges presented by the City’s declining POS provision per person and limited opportunities for new POS acquisition. The City’s future directions for public open space is to ensure it continues to serve its purpose to allow the community to participate and connect in a functional, flexible and sustainable environment.

    The Booyeembarra Park North project aims to implement solutions with strategic, long-term thinking and guidance that speaks to the City of Fremantle’s 2024-2034 Strategic Community Plan, as well as the City’s asset renewal program related to parks, reserves and play equipment.

    The City's 2024-2034 Strategic Community Plan is the City’s most significant guiding document and establishes the community’s long-term aspirations and vision for Fremantle’s future. The Plan drives the City’s planning, budgeting, resource allocation and service delivery over the next decade, and was developed in direct collaboration with people who live, work, and play in Fremantle. This project meets a number of key focus areas set out by the community - most importantly that Fremantle is a "Liveable City that is vibrant, socially connected and desirable" with "sustainably designed and optimised urban and natural environments."
