Project Information
The Attadale and Alfred Cove foreshore area is the largest extent of foreshore in the City of Melville. These sensitive environmental areas experience significant recreational demands for facilities and open space infrastructure, so it is important that they are carefully managed to protect biodiversity values as well as accommodate activities appropriately. Rather than taking a facility by facility or area by area approach to the planning and management of the area, there was an opportunity to take a holistic and long-term approach for planning future needs through a comprehensive master planning process involving extensive community engagement and consultation.The role of the Master Plan is to:
- Assist with future planning and decision-making covering both City and State managed lands;
- Define a long-term vision for the area;
- Provide a high-level framework for planning and management;
- Identify values for protection and aspirations;
- Consolidated strategy to guide and recognise opportunities for future enhancement, management and investment;
- Provide a basis for more detailed planning and funding decisions; and
- Provide a framework to define preferred options and concepts to be developed further.

Frequently Asked Questions
A master plan is a dynamic long-term strategic document that provides an overarching guidance and coordination for the growth and development of an area (or maintenance of an area in this case).
Aligning with good practice and outcomes for the site, The Master Plan establishd a framework, key principles and shared values identified by the project team and stakeholders. It does not determine the merit of proposals themselves or provide a decision-making function as it is not a statutory document
The master plan guides the manner in which the foreshore area will evolve, and be used as a basis for more detailed planning and funding decisions. It identifies opportunities for enhancing access and usability, whilst addressing environmental issues, showcaing aboriginal cultural and heritage values and provide recommendations for the upgrade of existing facilities and infrastructure.
The guiding principles are a set of key objectives that were developed and used to guide the development of the Master Plan. These principles were developed with the community and key stakeholders during the initial stages of the community engagement program.
The existing services and community spaces including facilities will continue to be provided. The Master Plan identifies opportunities and recommendations for improvements based on the vision and values articulated by the community.
