August 2026 Project Update: The first stage of works associated with the Hilton Park Precinct Masterplan has commenced. Updates will be shared via the City's website, via this project page, and to project subscribers as they become available.

For the most up to date information, please visit: Hilton Park Precinct - City of Fremantle

Guided by the Hilton Park Precinct Masterplan, adopted by Council in 2024 following community consultation, the redevelopment will deliver upgraded sporting facilities, improved community spaces and new recreation opportunities across Fremantle’s largest sporting and recreation reserve. 

During site investigations, asbestos-containing material (ACM) was found within earth mounds near the corner of Walton Way and Carrington Street.  

To safely access and remove the asbestos-containing material, 26 trees within the work area will need to be removed. This includes 11 Peppermint trees and six Norfolk Island Pines. 

A licensed asbestos contractor will remove the material in accordance with all regulatory requirements. The work area will be securely fenced and signposted, nearby residents have been notified, and appropriate monitoring and clearance processes will be undertaken throughout the removal works.  

Removing the material is required before construction of the new junior football oval can begin. The site works form part of Stage One of the Hilton Park redevelopment, which also includes the refurbishment of the Brad Hardie Pavilion currently underway. 

During the works, the basketball court and part of the shared path will be temporarily closed for four to six weeks. The City thanks the community for its patience while these essential works are completed. Residents are advised to avoid the area whilst works are underway.  

Replacement planting of at least two trees, per tree removed will be carried out as part of the next stage of works, once the site is ready for landscaping.  

61 new trees are scheduled to be planted including Marri, Tuart, Coastal Blackbutt and WA Weeping Peppermint. Two bird watering stations will also be installed to help support local wildlife. 


Hilton Park is a much loved and used hub for the local and regional community. However, the City knows that some of the facilities and spaces are needing a bit of love and have begun a journey to revitalise the whole Hilton Park Precinct!

The City has developed two documents to create a vision, so that it can plan for renewal of the precinct as a modern civic green space that meets the needs and wants of the community. These documents are known as the:

  • Hilton Park Place Plan – The role of this document is to set a vision for the future, provide principles and actions on how to achieve this vision.
  • Hilton Park Masterplan – The role of this document is to detail where changes will occur on the site, where different activities will be focused, and how the vision in the Place Plan above will be implemented.

The Masterplan is a document that provides:

  • A framework for implementing the Place Plan vision;
  • A plan for how changes on site will occur; and
  • A spatial plan showing where different activities will be focused.

    Public Comment - Hilton Park Precinct Draft Place Plan

    The Draft Hilton Park Place Plan provides the vision, themes and actions that will be used to guide the revitalisation of Hilton Park. The Place Plan plays an important role in the revitalisation, as it sets the foundations of the space – capturing the elements which should be maintained as the place changes. It also highlights things that are important to the community and users of the space that need to be incorporated into future planning.

     

    The next phase of the project is to develop a Hilton Park Master Plan. The Master Plan will show how the Place Plan vision, themes and actions can be implemented throughout the park and where changes may occur.

     

    This survey aims to seek community feedback on the Draft Hilton Park Place Plan and seek direction from the community on how some of the draft Place Plan actions could be translated in the Master Plan.

     

    We are seeking feedback specifically regarding the Place Analysis and Vision (Question 1 and 2), and eight of the Place Plan actions that will underpin the Master Plan (Question 3 -10). For the balance of the 36 actions, we invite you to consider these collectively, and provide feedback on any or all those actions in Question 11. If you have any other comments regarding the draft Place Plan, we invite you to provide feedback in Question 12.

     

    We recommend you review the Draft Place Plan document prior to completing this survey.

     

    The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Reviewing the Draft Place Plan may take between 10 minutes and an hour, depending on how thorough you are!

    Have your say on the Draft Vision and Place Themes for Hilton Park

    A Place Plan is a concept document that provides the background, analysis, opportunities, and vision that inform the future of a place coming together. To develop the Place Plan, we need to understand what the key drivers are – the Place Themes.

    Several themes and a draft vision have been developed based on the previous engagement and background analysis. Now we want to test these themes and vision with you to make sure we are moving in the right direction.
