Following the recent adoption of the METRONET East Redevelopment Scheme, DevelopmentWA has released the Draft Design Guidelines for the METRONET East-Bayswater project area for public comment.

The Draft Design Guidelines outline the vision for Bayswater’s revitalisation and the creation of a well-designed and connected town centre around the New Bayswater Station. They include:

• the requirements for building design and other development standards for land within the ‘Core Precinct’
• detailed guidance for assessing private sector development proposals and include standards such as building design and materials, building height, setbacks and car parking.

DevelopmentWA completed a detailed survey in September 2020 to confirm the community’s vision for the future of Bayswater, with the feedback helping to shape the Draft Design Guidelines and project direction.

Comments on the Draft Design Guidelines were open until Thursday 26 August 2021.

The revitalisation of the METRONET East-Bayswater project area is a step closer with the approval of the Bayswater Design Guidelines that will provide a roadmap for redevelopment. View the final design guidelines.
