Booyeembara Park North Landscape Projects

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.
