In November 2018, the Transport Minister approved plans to set up a steering group for the Victoria Quay redevelopment. The group is chaired by the Western Australian Government Minister Simone McGurk MLA and brings together senior officials from Fremantle Ports, Landcorp, the City of Fremantle, the Department of Transport, Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Western Australia, the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, Westport Taskforce, and the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation. The steering group, led by Fremantle MLA Simone McGurk, was tasked with examining land use in specific precincts, addressing the needs of the working port, and improving connectivity between Fremantle’s central business district and Victoria Quay. The group aims to transform the waterfront area, aligning with the ongoing work of the Westport Taskforce on future port and environmental needs. The goal is to create a world-class inner-city port development while considering community desires and leveraging existing planning efforts. The transformation turned Victoria Quay into an attractive destination for locals and tourists, capitalising on its rich history and tourism potential. This is part of a bigger <\/span>Westport project<\/span><\/a><\/span> which wants to create a new container capacity and transfer some of the commerce activity from the <\/span>Fremantle Inner Harbour<\/span><\/a><\/span> to the new port located in <\/span>the city of Kwinana<\/span><\/a><\/span>, an action that in tandem will redevelop the port of Fremantle to keep its local, historical character and highlight it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The quay is located between the Maritime Museum and the D-Shed, close to the city centre. The 13-hectare site is central to Fremantle’s maritime history and is seen as having great potential. The steering group met for the first time in February 2019 to look at the different possible uses for the site. The stated aim for this historic site is to combine an active port with a newly developed tourism hub. The foundations are already in place, with a number of developments completed, including the recently refurbished passenger terminal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Community initiatives are also in the pipeline. The site hosted the 10th Maritime Day in October 2018, with 15,000 visitors coming to enjoy the activities and events. In 2022, it was announced that $20 million is going to be invested in the inner port of Fremantle, and <\/span>$7.5 million<\/span><\/a><\/span> specifically to revitalise Victoria Quay. Since this project was announced by the Australian government in 2022, there has been no infrastructure change yet. The Victoria Quay at the moment houses community structures from the <\/span>redevelopment<\/span><\/a><\/span> that took place from 2016 until 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n
