Heirisson Island offers a unique environment with a strategic river
location. It has an abundance of inherent qualities, yet its incresliOle
potential remains unrealised.
This 25-hectare island, consisting of open grassed spaces, groves
nativutrees, TeTcl beds, beacnes-and-i.piets, is used primarily by
joggers and recreational fishermen. But, for the most partople
pass through this tranquil city oasis by vehicle, having little regard
or awareness of its treasures.
But Heirisson Island is now set to be transformed. With its superb
city and river views and enviable locatioo_adjacent to the CBD, the
island is envisagsrl to become a revitalized, connected parkland,
corporating sculptural artistic works of the highest standard.

Heirisson Island Sculpture Park Landscape Masterplan Report
PlectcteigramycL
Recognising Heirisson Island as an untapped asset, thr<dea of
establishing a world-class sculpture park was proposed by the
Heirisson Island Sculpture Park Committee, an independent group
of local artists and professionals. The City of Perth Council has
supported in principle' the proposal and further exploration of its
bi
The City of Perth commissioned a Management Plan in 2001.
Although this plan made reference to the potential for artworks on
the Island, it did not fully explore the incorporation of the sculpture
park. Essentially, the plan was to guide the upgrading of the
facilities and the development of further low impact recreation
opportunities. i-elso highlighted areas prone to damage and
Jeitlined measures for the protection and enhancement of
environmentally fragile areas and habitats. The 2001 Management
Plan serves as a foundation for the development of this new
Masterplan Plan.
Urbis was engaged to prepare this Masterplan and report in
2007/08. Throughout the process Urbis has pro actively sought
information to enable the design to be thoroughly developed, and
to address current and future management and maintenance
issues. This has involved liaising with the Heirisson Island Sculpture
Park Committee, and City of Perth representatives. Urbis has
also sought information from the designers for Point Fraser and
East Perth Redevelopment Authority's "Riverside" project, to
create a masterplan that integrates with these proposed adjacent
developments.

This Masterplan illustrates how the Guiding Principles al the HeirissonIsland Management Plan can be implemented.The Management Plan makes specific recommendations in relation to:
Cultural significance,Activity on the land and water,Access andEnvironment
Heirisson Island is a unique riverside reserve which is close to the city andset with lakes and shady parkland. 11 has the potential to be a valuableasset for the Perth community and is currently an undervalued cultural andrecreational site. Increased use can be supported in a way which protectsthe island environment through:
Well designed, unobtrusive picnic shelters and -facilities,The separation 01 wetland habitat areas from high userecreation areas,Increased tree planting and landscaping to highlight featuresand views,Improved access,Initiatives which make the most o1 the island's locationand character.
effc Small boats mooring in the bay and their passengers wading ashore will reduce theU effectiveness of wetland revegetation projects.
A more environmentally sustainable mooring could be created withA small jettyShelters with interpretation and river informationPicnic tables and a path to the public toilets.
If there is a need to accommodate larger boats such as the ferries or river cruiseboats, a jetty could be installed close to the deep water channel on the northwestbank of the island
5Increased use of some locations on the island has caused erosionto the banks, reducing the attractiveness of some areas.These areas could be made more durable and attractive through
Building of a 'waved' retaining wall at the river's edge,Shade tree planting and paving of high use areas,Picnic shelters and information on good angling practices andinterpretation of the river environment,Night time lighting and increased rubbish collection,Encouraging anglers to carry rubbish out and fish responsibly

The Management Plan also recommends that the island be divided into five broad zones to enabledifferent character and use areas to be managed appropriately. In summary these can be described as:
A landmark hill and grassed woodland with long views managed as a moderate impact recreation area.
B wetland habitat managed as a low impact recreation and wetland habitat area.
C high intensity recreation use and road/service corridor managed as a high impact recreation area.
D wetland habitat managed as a low impact recreation and wetland habitat area.
E knoll and surrounding woodland with long views managed as a moderate impact recreation area.
Views from the island to Swan River landmarks could be opened out andframed.This could be achieved by
Planting to frame long views to Mt Elise, South Perth, McCallum park,Burswood Park East Perth and Point Fraser,Providing vantage points at the river's edge and on hill tops for visitors,Placing seats and picnic shelters with scenic views in mind

ovnte/x1
Heirisson Island is strategically located at the city's eastern edge
at a narrow neck in the river between East Perth and Victoria
Park.
The island is centrally located to several 'development centres',
such as Burswood Peninsular, Claisebrook Cove, the proposed
Belmont Park redevelopment and the East Perth Riverside
project.
All of these projects house, or are anticipated to house,
significant numbers of new residents, all within walking or
cycling distance of Heirisson Island. Many of these residents
will traverse the island daily when commuting to and from work
in the city.
The island is also surrounding by high quality public open
space, with Burswood and McCallum Park to the East and Point
Fraser and Langley Park to the west.
It is accessible by bus and may in future be serviced by a
light rail system linking Hay St across the island to Burswood
Peninsular. There is also great potential, with the increase in
riverside redevelopment, for the extension of the Swan River Taxi
service to extend and take in Heirisson Island.

Heirisson Island Physical Context
Heirisson Island Sculpture Park Landscape Masterplan Report
rc
Historically, the area consisted of two small islands -s4Q-ounded by mud flats.
While restricting access through this point in the river, the (r14flats assisted
crossing between the east and west banks of the river. For this re on, the
area was of particular significance to the local Aboriginal people.
DTI e naktral crossing pc7Frforrrierhpart Q.Lan important transport route for
the establishment of the British colony . In 1842 a toll bride was constructed
over the two islands, close to the location of the existing Causeay. The
mudflats were dredged over time to assist passage upriver, resulting i>efusing of the small islands with the dredged material.
By 1900 a single landmass was formed and by_1930 the island had been
expanded to itscurrent size through further dredging and the champing of
).iilding rubble and the importing of sand and soil. The existing Causeway
was constructed in 1955.
The island however remained an undeveloped site, with the unofficial
dumping of waste material continuing until the 1960s. Major landscaping
works followed in the late 1970s which transformed the island into a parkland
supporting low impact recreational activities.
In 1975 Heirisson (sand was vested in the City of Perth as an A Class
Reserve. This 25 hectare island is one of only two islands in the Swan,
measuring 1.3km long by 300m at its widest point.
The Causeway, whilst connecting the Albany, Great Eastern and Canning
Highways to the Perth CBD, today carries great volumes of traffic and
effectively divides the island in two.

CJ,twdCo,Lt.tThe Heirisson Island area is recognised as being of particular importance
to the local Aboriginal community and is registered with the Department of
Indigenous Affairs as a site of mythological significance (Site ID 3589).
The area is traditionally associated with the Beeloo Nyungah people who
knew the small islands and mud flats as Matagarup, referring to the river
as being one leg deep'. The island located between the current causeway
bridge was known as Kakaroomup. The Matagarup mud flats were the first
major crossing point upriver from the river's mouth (at Fremantle) and were an
important seasonal access way over which the Beeloo Nyungah gave other
groups right of passage across the river. The area was also an important
food-gathering place, reflected in the traditional name for Point Fraser
Beeabbolup, meaning 'place of many fish' (From the City of Perth's 2001
Management Plan).
Though no longer an important food gathering area, the significance of the
area has continued for the local people, especially due to its rich mythological
associations.
Heirisson Island currently houses a statue of Yagan, a important leader of the
Bee lair Nyungah at the time of colonisation.

Heirisson Island Sculpture Park Landscape Masterplan Report
The main cultural points of Perth theatres, galleries,
museums, etc are distributed over the CBD. Additionally, there
many pieces of public art throughout the city area. Festivals
and performances are held at temporary venue sites further
contribute to the city's cultural life.
King's Park is a major environmental and cultural focust,,
the western edge of the city. The park capitalises on its many
beautiful spaces and stunning views to host events such as
outdoor concerts, performances and cinema on Perth's sublime
summer evenings.
The city is 'cryiRig-out' for another focus of international standing
mirror King's Park and thereby 'book end' the city at its
eastern edge. The Sculpture Park facility at Heirisson Island
is perfectly positioned to fulfil this role. It has the potential to
greatly elevate Perth's active and growing arts and culture
scene, not only in terms of the standard of art on offer, but also
as a stunning and easily accessed venue.
Heirisson Island has the potential to respond to the river and
the city in a manner unlike any other venue in Perth. It offers a
physical setting for more immediate and intimate engagement
with the Swan River, with all its cultural and environmental
attributes.

Vim,,This is an extraordinary and exciting opportunity to create an
environment in a prime location that is custom designed for the display
of and appreciation of fine sculptural artworks.
There are many wonderful sculpture parks around the world, some
dedicated to specific artists, others to historical or ethnographic works
and others to contemporary works. We have a unique 'natural' setting
that presents opportunities to create places and spaces for art works
that speak to, and of, the environment. The intent is for the island to be
easily and freely accessible to the public.

Heirisson Island-Landscape Masterplan
Heirisson Island Sculpture Park Landscape Masterplan Report

Vt.o/t.odn,
1. Integrating Art and LandscapeThe creative integration of art and landscape will result in an
inspiring and provocative public space.
Landform as sculpture A variety of landscaped spaces will
be-14+k-edb-7-srulptnlandform9 thaLcan be read as art in
themselves. These sculpted landforms will also serveas
vantage points, wind barriers and provide spatial definitionT
Permanent Works . The Masterplan provides a framework
in which both intimate and open spaces can be specially
designed in greater detail to display specific artworks.
These artworks could respo.pd tot-19e-envi gent the river,---thel>dlife7-re history, etc. It is proposed that pieces of art
of exceptional quality are acquired or commissioned over a
long period of time.
Feature Pieces There are a number of locations in the plan
that are intended for the installation of defining pieces of art.
These will serve as markers in the landscape, to be viewed
from a distance.
Temporary exhibits A number of areas within the park
have been created as temporary, flexible exhibit spaces.
Delicate, ephemeral art installations could be an ongoing,
changing feature throughout the park.
There are a great range of possible synergies that could be
developed with the community, visiting exhibitions, and local
artists. This is a particularly valuable concept for the early years
in the park's development when the number of permanent
artworks may be limited.
Performance The performance spaces within the park
allow for another layer of art to be on offer performance
art, puppetry, light shows along with other conventional
forms of theatre such as dance, music and film, that utilise
the landscape as 'stage'.
2. Celebrating the Aboriginal StoryPerth is in dire need of a place where Aboriginal culture is
interpreted and celebrated. This is important not only for the
local Aborigincommunity itself, but also for the citizens and
vis rs to Perth, to raise awareness and appreciation of what is
an extraQinarily ri culture.
A facility at<leirissoland is positioned to play a vital role
the landscape presents a perfect setting through which
interpretations o e Abo inal story, both historical and
corporary, can b delicately interwoven.
It is envisad that consultaticwith relevant local groups
regarding their ctittural assciatiorwith the site will reveal
opportunities for interpation. I is recognised that there
maybe particular issues of cultural sensitivity these will be
treated respectfuld sympheticNi.
The proposal includes formal and ir\ifcrmal gathering places
for story telling and events. There are oportunities to
incorporate story telling journey the river. The curvilinear
wall to the visitor centre may be a startir point for artworks
that interpret the significance of the site.
The layering of the Aboriginal Story into the very fabric of
the design will bring a richness and depth of meaning to the
project unprecedented in any development in Perth.
Please refer to pages 37-39 of this report for further discussion
about issues relating to cultural heritage and consultation.
3. Strengthening the Sense of 'Island'Road experience To heighten awareness of Heirisson as
an island, views across water to the island will be created
. These views are currently obscured by the heritage listed
balustrade on the Causeway bridge. The Masterplan
proposes excavation to the south and north sides of the
Causeway, potentially opening up views over water beyond
the balustrade.
Elevation The proposed raised landform will allow a
vantage point from which visitors will be able to view both
north and south sides of the island and the surrounding river.
Pedestrian experience As all visitor parking will be
relocated off the island, the journey across the river, either
over a pedestrian bridge or by boat will, heighten the visitor's
experience of 'island'.
Views onto and off the island Currently from both the city
and the Victoria Park/Burswood side, the island reads as the
opposite land mass with little or no sense that it is, in fact an
island. The proposal is to create view corridors through, onto
and out of the island, so the island can be perceived in the
context of, yet separate from the adjacent land mass.
// //
4. Giving Recognition to the OriginalLandform
The site was originally a series of islands through the Matagarup
mud flats. Over time, the site has been filled to create its
current form. The proposal is to resurrect the semblance of
the original form by opening the existing water bodies on the
site to create water linkages across the island. Access across
these water linkages is via bridges, heightening the visitor's
island experience, and retelling a story of history through subtle
means.

5. Enhancing the Natural EnviromentThe project presents many opportunities to enhance the natural
environment and to encourage and nurture biodiversity in creative
and innovative ways.
This came dortErthrougtr-
Sensitive edge treatments to the island's perimeter7-trsing
natural and artificial options;
Working with the existing topography of the site and
enhancing features where appropriate;
Creating new habitats that support wildlife and promote
biodiversit
Using local plant species both in a natural setting and in
'ornamental' gardens;
Artworks that draw inspiration from or assist natural systems,
and utilise landforms and materials, ie land-based' artworks
and ephemeral art installations a true integration of art and
environment.
Of particular environmental significance will be the return of the
site to a semblance of the original physical form prior to the
landfill works. This will enable the rehabilitation and extension of
the existing wetlands in the southern section.
These measures will be instrumental in improving the island's
'natural' environment by replicating natural hydrological and
ecological systems. Decked walkways are proposed to be
located through the wetland to nurture an appreciation of the
environment whilst protecting sensitive habitats.
NOTE: The majority of the current planting on the island, though
native, is not indigenous to the local area . As it is intended that
much of the island's landscape be restored to a more natural
state, this includes the removal of most of the current planting .
This will be replaced with species of trees and bushes, grasses
ancl\reeds, that would have existed in the area originally. It is
intended that even the more 'formal' spaces are planted with
local indigenous species.
implemtation of the plan is to be staged, the removal
and replanting of Netation will be gradual, ensuring that there
is adequa vegetation cover on the island at each stage of
construction. \
6. Minimising Environmental ImpactMinimising the on environment is of prime concern, both
during construction F))tases, an)\also-during the operations of
- sculpture park once it Isstabli 1\ed.
Of the highest isr:cc)rity during anthe proposed works will
be the protection of the<ier. All necessAmeasures will
undertaken to mitigate any icipated effects on water
quality. Use of materials of low environment I impact should
be carefully considered in the detailecTdesignn of the island's
features and amenities.
The daily operations of the sculpture park shoul e based on
sound environmental principles:
Water- Collection of rainwater and the recycling of grey water
can be creatively incorporated into the design of particular
features of the island. By the installation of water-efficient
appliances, and by restricting the areas requiring irrigated
grass, water use can be minimised.
Energy- Opportunities to incorporate renewable energy
sources should be thoroughly explored. Energy use can be
minimised through the use of energy efficient appliances
and lighting.
Waste- Waste and pollution generated from the operations
of the island should be mitigated through good quality
design, construction and ongoing management. Recycling
of waste materials on the island itself should be considered
wherever possible.
Please refer to page 34 of this report for more discussion of
technical issues relating to environmental sustainability and
m.wirrlis. the impact of development.
Fed/w., tke, Mc/Ate/IL,
AMovement Pedestrian
ENTRY AND ARRIVAL
The crossing of the river via the connecting pedestrian bridge is to
be the initial and essential part of the island experience. The river is
the threshold.
An additional link is suggested to the future East Perth Riverside
Precinct, providing direct access to event areas, and facilitating
pedestrian access and circulation.
Future connections to the island should also be considered from
the Burswood development and to the newly renovated MacCallum
Park, Victoria Park. Given the great increase in the numbers of
residents anticipated on both the east and west sides of the island,
these connections would be well justified.
Disabled access will be possible via the pedestrian bridge. For
special events/functions, provision will be made for disabled to
access the island by vehicle, utilising the service and emergency
access.
PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
Improved pedestrian circulation around and throughout the
island will allow for a diversity of experiences. Entering along the
elevated bridge and mound, the visitor is able to 'survey' the
island. Orientation is further enhanced with the inclusion of towers
at specific locations, linking the site with the city skyline. The
visitor is taken through a dynamic range of experiences along the
circulation paths, including walking over and through cuttings in
earth mounds; over decked areas on wetlands; with the pro*of vistas across the Swan River along the way. This variety of
experiences through the changing landscape/will ensure that fresh
or undiscovered experiences await \6sit6s ea ch time they rn to
the island.///

The Masterplan proposes the removal of vehicles from tIgisland,
other than those required for service, emergency and disabled
access. All visitor parking will occur off the island (at Point Fraser),
with visitors arriving at the island via pedestrian bridges or by ferry.
Service and Emergency access is available from both the west and
_t -bend lanesOf the CMseway.-*service_path is proposed to
circumnavigate the majority of the island.
Please refer to page 36 of this report for technical issues relating to
the management of vehicles on or around the island.
FERRIES
Currently the Transperth ferry service only runs between Barrack
Street and Meude-Street in South Perth. There are opportunities.
Ancrease the river ferry service for regular service and special
events. With the activities at Claisebrook Cove, the future Riverside
Precinct, Burswood Peninsular and the proposed restaurant facilities
at Point Fraser, there will be demand for increased river access. The
Masterplan makes provision for 3 ferry access points on the island,
one of which may be a regular stopping point, and the others for
special events. Ferry docking areas are sheltered from the south-
west winds. The ferry docking areas would be suitable for other
private vessels. Ferry docking areas have been included in the
design, which could be used on a regular basis as part of a broader
ferry transit system, or utilised for special events. Ferries could link
other popular sites, including, Burswood residential precinct, Barrack
St Jetty and the proposed Perth Foreshore development. The
Burswood Park Board has received approval for the development of
a jetty facility for Transperth ferries and river cruise boats to be built on
the foreshore in front of Burswood Hotel complex.
BUSES
There are many bus services that cross the Causeway, with stops
on the Victoria Park side and the eastern end of both Hay Street
and Adelaide Terrace. Bus stops will need to be re-appraised and
updated to suit the Heirisson Island proposal.

LIGHT RAIL
A future light rail potentially connecting Perth CBD with Victoria Park
and Burswood has been considered in this Masterplan proposal.
The Masterplan makes provision for a light rail system to cross the
island to the north of the causeway, with a stop on the island, linked
vertically to the proposed pedestrian bridge. The rail system may
terminate at the end of Hay Street in the medium term, and cross the
island to Burswood in the longer term, connecting to the bus station
on Shepperton Rd. In the medium term, visitors alighting from the
light rail at Riverside, at the eastern end of Hay St would cross to the
island via the proposed northern pedestrian bridge.

PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE TO POINT FRASER
The pedestrian bridge is to be a defining element of the project
an exceptional, inspiring structure that 'sets the scene' for the
experiences awaiting. The bridge would be the first element to be
constructed essentially the first 'sculpture' of the island. It will be
an inspiring 'point of entry' and set the scene for the experiences
awaiting.
VISITOR / INTERPRETIVE CENTRE
The Visitor/Interpretive Centre serves as the principle entry point
to the island from the pedestrian bridge. It is located to provide
protection from the south-west sea breeze across Perth Water. It
is intended that this element is a built sculptural component which
could include interpretive aboriginal art in the architecture.
The potential range of uses includes a café, gallery and storage
space. The building would be earth banked with passive solar and
environmentally sustainable design principles employed. The spiral
shape creates a social atmosphere, forming a performance space
for indigenous story telling and theatre.
VIEWING TERRACE
An informal viewing terrace at the south-western tip of the island
would provide a terraced seating area designed to take advantage
of events such as the Sky show (fire works) and Red Bull Air Show.
It also forms a gathering space that could be used for small cultural
events or educational groups. It provides a key visual link to Kings
Park and Perth.
AMPHITHEATRE
The larger, more formal amphitheatre, located at the north-east tip
of the island, is designed for events of 2000 to 3000 people.*
area has restricted access points to cater for ticketed events and
facilities for a special ferry service to dock 94Irop off patrons This

Other ElementsFAMILY PICNIC AREA
An area has been designed for informal family activities,4ilising
grass with shade trees facing the water. The area captures the
northern sun, yet is sheltered from the south-westerly winds by an
earth bank.
SPACES FOR TEMPORARY INSTALLATIONS AND EXHIBITIONS
A number of sites have been designed to accomrhnislate temporary
exhibits. The forecourt to the visitor centre has a broad, paved
expanse to accommodate 'interventions'. The grassed terrace,
within the 'Spiral' also lends itself to temporary exhibitions.
There are opened grassed areas, remote from the visitor centre,
and nestled within trees that provide more intimate environments.
These are desigRed specifically for installations and changing
exhibit.
All these spaces will require provision for vehicle and cranage
access and power sources available for lighting and functions.
Please refer to page 38 of this report for recommendations about
management and marketing of the Island.
WATER WAYS AND WETLANDS
To reflect the original landform, additional areas of waterways and
wetlands are a defining feature of the design. These wetlands will
provide additional wildlife habitat and therefore play a significant
part in increasing the island's biodiversity. The extended waterways
will provide evocative settings for sculptures, and also for
recreational opportunities.
Water has also been re-introduced into the areas abutting the
Causeway bridges to accentuate the island experience. Other water
inlets have been designed to suit ferry access along the northern
edge of the island, with consideration for protection from the
southwest winds.

Views and VistasHeirisson Island has, commanding views across Perth Water to
Kings Park, the Narrow's bridge, Perth City skyline and South Perth.
These views will be framed and enhanced by means of platforms,
terraces and viewing towers. Other views within the island, such
as views to sculptures and unique landforms, are also given
consideration in the design.

Heirisson Island Sculpture Park Landscape Masterplan Report
Topographical Form
The creation of an 'island' identity is fundamental to ths<aster Plan.
Generally, Heirisson Island is not read as an island from the Causeway
as the railing on the bridge impedes river and island views from the
Causeway. These railings have heritage significance and are unlikely to
be removed.
To achithe desired visual ackpayledgernent of the Island,
additional earth mounding is proposed to increase height at the
centre of the island, whilst wetlands will be further excavated to rei::1ace
the height around internal water bodies.
Enhancing the topographical form creates a diversity of site levels,
spaces and experiences. The intention of the earth mounding in
particular is to enhance the perception of the 'island', and to create
a dynamic landscape that becdpRes scuOttrral lasd-art in self. While
makingthpir wararound the island, visitors will encounter a dynamic
ange of experiences, from the higher points of the earth mounding
and pedestrian bridges, to the lower levels around the wetlands and
foreshore.

GEdge Treatment
As the island is not a natural form, many of its edges are 'hard',
having been constructed to withstand the buffeting of waves from
boats . The west facing edge of the island currently has limestone
spalling for much of the perimeter. This collects weed and garbage
and looks unsightly. It also makes direct access to the water's edge
difficult.
The Masterplan proposes modification of the island's perimeter to
create more natural, soft edges . Sheltered coves and a significant
increase in the amount of 'edge' provide more opportunities for
planting, and in turn, for wildlife habitat. Increased wildlife will not
only enhance the natural environment, but will also and supports a
more robust ecology. Planted edges will also assist erosion control.
Some of these new coves will provide refuge for boats and ferries
and others will link into the wetland area of the island.
The proposal also integrates and renovates existing rip rap and
adds new Gabion walls, timber decked areas and hard walling
where appropriate. Details for the Gabion walls will reflect the
detailing in the adjacent Point Fraser redevelopment.

Services to the IslandElectricity Supply
Renewable energy options should be explored such as wind
turbines, solar panels, or other forms of renewable energy
generation
Litt:Lag for-F-alhways, signage, street lamps
Power supply and lighting for special events such as concerts and
exhibitions
Water Supply
It is intended that water usage should be minimised, and options for
environmentally sustainable sources of water should be explored:
Recycled greywater options should be explored
Minimise the need for reticulation
Potential for retention and use of rainwater on roofs, roads, etc
should be explored
Use of bore water to be reviewed
Potable water supply for drinking, toilets, hand basins
Fresh water or mixed fresh/salt water supply to features

Public TransportThe use of public transport should be strongly promoted, in addition to
cycling and walking. In keeping with a sustainable transport strategy, the
use of cars as a means of accessing the island is to be minimised as
much as possible. Issues to address include:
Buses
Some 30 bus routes already traverse the island along the Causeway, and
another 2 routes (730 and 731) terminate just to the north-west
Bus stops on or near Heirisson Island should be reviewed and
potentially added or amended
Bus transport for major events (eg. Concerts, special exhibitions,
nearby sporting events) should be reviewed with a strategic plan put
S
st route is currently the Red Cat to the corner of Plain St and
There is the opportunity to extend a Cat bus route to service the island
in the future, which can be explored via Point Fraser
Ferries
There is currently no regular ferry transport to the island
There is the opportunity to add a ferry jetty to the island for a future
potential ferry route either for special events or on a
regular basis
Suggested ACTIONS

ec
Approvals and Consultation Required
A number of statutory authorities will need to grant approval for various
aspects of the plan. In addition, stakeholder consultation will be required,
particularly of user groups such as sporting, recreational and fishing.
Heirisson Island is an 'A' Class reserve vested in the City of Perth for the
purpose of a public park. An 'A' Class reserve affords the greatest degree
of protection for a reserve and any change to its purpose requires the
approval of the Parliament.
Under the Swan River Trust Act the Trust has final power of the approval
over the management and development of the sites within the Swan River
Trust management area.
The design of the island and relevant approvals will need to take into
account other relevant policies, plans and strategies developed by the
City of Perth and relevant external authorities.
Consultation with the relevant local Aboriginal groups and the preparation
of an Aboriginal Heritage Survey Report is of prime importance.
In addition, it is recommended that policies, plans or strategies that
may have relevance or impact on the design of the island and / or its
operations should be read, understood and, if necessary, acted upon
accordingly.
