2 WORKSHOP PURPOSE

The Visioning Workshop was the first key step of the community’s involvement in the redevelopment of Wearne

Cottesloe. The purpose of the Visioning Workshop was to establish the key values of the site, opportunities to be

considered during the redevelopment and draft design principles which will in turn inform design scenarios and

ultimately a preferred design scenario for the redevelopment of Wearne Cottesloe.

The Workshop involved two exercises: the first involved identifying the existing site assets, values and key

considerations to inform the future development; and the second required participants to consider and provide input into

draft design principles.

3.1 ATTENDEES

At total of 22 attendees participated in the Visioning Workshop.

3.2 PRESENTATION

A complete copy of the PowerPoint presentation delivered at the Workshop is included in Appendix A. A summary

of the presentation is provided below.

Karen Hyde opened the Workshop by explaining the purpose and agenda and introducing the project team. David

Cox of Curtin Care provided an overview of the background and focus of Curtin Care and outlined the operations of

the organisation including occupancy rates, ownership details, type of care provided and licences for redevelopment.

Ali Devellerez explained Curtin Care’s project deliverables and requirements for the redevelopment.

Scott Bradley of Grounds Kent Architects presented architectural imagery relating to the architectural experience,

vision and opportunities to the site. Scott also presented the key considerations of the site and the intended staging

of the redevelopment.

Kirsten Dawson of EPCAD, the project landscape architect, presented some of the site’s existing landscape

features, and the key landscape opportunities and considerations which exist for the site. Some possible landscape

treatments for the redevelopment were also discussed.

Dan Jenkins of Cardno presented on traffic and movement, including the traffic volumes surrounding the site.

Opportunities to reduce traffic and/or peak-period traffic at the site were also identified.

Workshop exercises 1 and 2 followed, where group feedback was provided, which is explained in section 4.2.

3.3 WORKSHOP FEEDBACK

The attendees were divided into four groups and seated at separate tables. Each table had a facilitator from the

project team. During the Workshop, attendees were requested to provide feedback; firstly in relation to the site

assets, values and key considerations to inform the future development and secondly to respond to draft design

principles.

The responses are collated in Appendix B and summarised per table below. The responses include a summary of

the key messages by the table facilitator based on the discussion at each table and workshop notes which are taken

directly from the worksheets completed by the group.

What do you think the existing site assets and values are? What do you consider to be important about the site in terms of uses, how the site relates to the surrounds, proximity to the beach, heritage building, landscape etc?


Land Use Distribution – is there an opportunity to frame the heritage building? Support/location of community uses, coffee shop? Landform falls to the ocean, opportunity to tier development?

Staging – opportunity to maintain heritage values, continue to provide aged-care accommodation through redevelopment process, timing of community facilities/ coffee shop?

Public Realm – opportunity to retain mature trees, enhance and provide public access to gardens, interest in community activities occurring within the site? Types of activities? Opportunity for development to provide passive surveillance to adjoining streets?

Visual Analysis – is it important to have view lines of key aspects of the development, including the heritage building, landscape, gardens, new development?
