Consultation - August/September 2025
The draft Leederville Town Centre Place Plan for 2025/26 to 2029/30 was finalised and endorsed by Council for formal advertising.
This draft was shaped through collaboration with a dedicated Community Focus Group, comprising key local stakeholders including the Town Team, business owners, commercial property owners, developers and interested community members.
We invited community to review the draft and share their thoughts on the key priorities and actions for Leederville Town Centre? This feedback helped refine the final plan.
Feedback options included a survey, phone or email and four drop-in conversations at various venues in the town centre.
Previous updates
The draft Leederville Town Centre Place Plan 2025/26-2029/30 was finalised and presented to Council at their Briefing on 5 August and the Ordinary Council Meeting on 12 August, for approval to advertise.
Update - June 2025
In late 2024, the City of Vincent undertook a Context and Gap Analysis to inform the development of the new Leederville Town Centre Place Plan.
This analysis built upon the findings of the comprehensive analysis undertaken as part of the draft Leederville Precinct Structure Plan in 2019 and confirmed that many of the previously identified challenges persist. It also identified additional themes that will need to be addressed in the new Place Plan.
To ensure the plan reflects the needs and aspirations of the community, in early 2025 we asked for nominations from people who were interested in being part of a Community Focus Group (CFG). This group included a diverse mix of stakeholders—local town team members, developers, business and commercial property owners, and engaged residents.
Between March and May 2025, the CFG participated in three collaborative workshops. The outcomes of these sessions are documented in a Community Engagement Report, available in the Documents section to the right of this page.
Background
The existing Leederville Town Centre Place Plan 2020-2025 is in its final year of operation and will be replaced by the 2025-2030 version.
The area covered by this plan includes the town centre along the western end of Newcastle Street and along Oxford Street up to Richmond Street.
The plan aligns with the Leederville Precinct Structure Plan, the Community Benefit Framework and all other projects Vincent is leading on or facilitating in the Leederville town centre.
All of the above have had some level of community consultation and the proposed Place Plan aims to build on this.
Project details
The City of Vincent is developing a new place plan for the Leederville town centre which includes developing a vision for how the public realm can be improved and activated over the next few years.
Planning for the public realm includes anything that affects the broader look and feel of public spaces and streets, as well as its activation.
