The subject site is bounded by Alma Road to the north, Fitzgerald Street to the east, Raglan Road to the south and a right-of-way (ROW) to the west.
Current Status
Development Status and Works On-Site
The development is currently in a sales period. During this time the developer is selling apartments. You may have noticed that some works have commenced on site. These include the erection of a temporary viewing platform and works associated with the fit out of a sales office.
Real-estate signage has been erected to the street elevations of the site. This signage does not require development approval from Vincent in accordance with our Local Planning Policy: Signs and Advertising.
Amendment Application
The City has received a Form 2 DAP application which seeks to amend the design of the approved development.
The application is currently being assessed by the City and community consultation was undertaken from 21 October 2024 - 3 November 2024.
The Imagine Vincent page for the application is available here. The page includes additional information about the proposed development, including details of the amendments proposed to the approved design.

What is the City's role moving forward?
Vincent's role in this development is to ensure that it is consistent with the approved plans and conditions, and that the required approvals have been obtained. These include but are not limited to:
- Development is consistent with the approved plans and satisfies conditions of approval.
- Approvals under the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 and the Building Act 2011.
- Ensuring appropriate approvals are in-place for temporary obstructions of roads and rights of way.
Some disruption to the surrounding area is expected with any large-scale development in an established area. A condition of approval of the development is the preparation of a Construction Management Plan (CMP). The intent of the CMP is to minimise the impact of the construction on nearby landowners and residents. This page will be updated once the CMP has been approved.
Vincent is able to investigate matters relating to compliance with the Health Local Law 2004, the Health (Asbestos Regulations) 1992 and the Noise Regulations. For queries in relation to these topics, please contact 9273 6533. To register a complaint, please e-mail: mail@vincent.wa.gov.au. Vincent may require further information from you prior to progressing an investigation (e.g. noise / nuisance log sheet).
Who can I contact?
We encourage residents to liaise directly with the developer about any concerns. This is likely to result in a faster response than through the City. The developer, Celsius, has a dedicated e-mail at northperth@celsius.com.au. You can request to register for updates from Celsius directly by providing your name, address and email address. Celsius will provide more immediate updates regarding works and progress on site.
