Green light for Brigadoon development

The City of Swan Council has unanimously supported Peet Limited’s plans for the development of a special rural land estate at Brigadoon.

This comes following a lengthy period of planning and consultation with the City of Swan and members of the local community.

Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said they were very pleased to have reached this important milestone.

“We have worked closely with the community and Council to get to this point and believe we have a best practice plan in place for the development of the Brigadoon site,” said Mr Gore.

“It’s a wonderful area and Peet will continue to work closely with the City of Swan to create a sustainable community that is in keeping with the characteristics of the existing environment,” he said.

The 214 lots proposed – some with views to the city – will range in size from 1.5 hectares to 5.05 hectares, with an average size of 1.9 hectares.

Future residents will enjoy close proximity to Bells Rapids and be just 10 minutes from Midland and the Swan Valley.

Another attraction is the significant amount of the site - 393 hectares of the 861 hectare property – being preserved as natural bushland or regional open space. Preserving this land as bush means it connects with a further 10,000 hectares of protected bushland around the estate including Walyunga National Park.

In addition, there is planned to be a number of community facilities and amenities provided by Peet Limited as part of the development including a community centre, tennis court and lookout posts.

The project will now progress through the detailed design phase, with work expected to commence on site later this year.
