Troy Park Club Rooms

During the initial stages of the project, the City will be working with First Nations people and specific stakeholders including sporting clubs and community user groups. Opportunities for broader City of Melville community engagement will be considered pending the outcomes from the initial stages of engagement and project scope of works. 

The Attadale Alfred Cove Foreshore Master Plan (AACFMP) was prepared in 2020-2021 and establishes a vision for the area to assist in guiding future investments and support decision making processes over the next 20 years. 

Shaped collaboratively with local stakeholders and the community, the Master Plan is a holistic guiding document to assist with future planning and decision making covered by the City of Melville (CoM) and State managed land.

Stretching over 4km of the edge of the Swan Estuary Marine Park, the Attadale Alfred Cove Foreshore is a significant natural asset within the City of Melville and Greater Perth.

The Attadale and Alfred Cove foreshore borders the Swan Estuary Marine Park in Alfred Cove and Attadale. The site area comprises the Attadale Foreshore land along Burke Drive and along Dunkley Avenue. The area includes a number of passive and active recreational open spaces including:

• Attadale Reserve along Burke Drive (rehabilitated and grassed landfill area managed by the City of Melville and adjacent to the Point Walter Reserve, utilised for dog walking and recreation)
• Attadale Conservation Area (fenced and revegetated natural area providing habitat to native wildlife and managed by the City of Melville)
• Alfred Cove A-Class Nature Reserve (a narrow ribbon of native vegetation along the river shoreline, managed by the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions – DBCA)
• Point Waylen (in the care of DBCA, which is mostly grassed and managed by the City of Melville)
• Troy Park Peninsula and recreation area (managed by the City of Melville, including clubrooms and sporting facilities)
• Atwell House Creative precinct (formally wetland and now grassed, low-lying damp land managed by the City of Melville and including the historic Atwell House)
• Tompkins Park (sports park with associated facilities, active recreation areas and significant stands of mature trees)

To ensure the Master Plan meets the needs of the community, we asked for community feedback through all major stages of the design process.
