Mount Hawthorn Town Centre Planning Framework
The City of Vincent is developing a Planning Framework for Mt Hawthorn Town Centre and is asking the community to share their vision for the area.
Background
Private development in Mt Hawthorn is guided by Vincent’s Policy No. 7.1.1 Built Form and improvements to the public realm are guided by the Mt Hawthorn Place Plan.
Vincent is preparing a plan for the Mt Hawthorn Town Centre to guide its future development. The plan will consider specific elements from seating options in the public realm, through to the scale and design of buildings in the private realm.
The Mt Hawthorn Town Centre is located between Braithwaite Park in the west, to Britannia Road in the south, incorporating Scarborough Beach Road and Oxford Street.
Mt Hawthorn Town CentreThe town centre has a unique landscape character and mix of traditional fine-grain shopfronts and emerging businesses.
Its pedestrian-friendly streets with generous tree planting contribute to a suburban village feel, attracting local residents and a variety of visitors from surrounding neighbourhoods.
Project details
The aim of this project is to guide future development for the Mt Hawthorn Town Centre. We are asking community to help shape what that should look like.
A Planning Framework and Place Plan is being prepared, which means that there will be one document to look at for all development within the Mt Hawthorn Town Centre.
The framework will consider each of the priorities listed in the Strategic Community Plan but is not limited by that.
A context analysis study has already taken place to help us understand the existing conditions, opportunities and constraints.
As part of this consultation process, we are asking people about the findings of this analysis, and their vision for the Mt Hawthorn Town Centre.
Opportunities to participate include workshops and information sessions, as well as the survey below.

Once a draft is developed, a report will be presented to Council for endorsement to formally advertise.
