Controversial ‘Woodvale Corner’ developers lodge new plans for 70 homes

Key points

• Developers behind a rejected $35 million commercial project in Woodvale, Western Australia, have submitted plans for a 70-home residential estate on the same site. The 3.5-hectare proposal includes lots ranging from 262 to 549 square metres, public open space, and internal roads.
• Access would be via Woodvale Drive and Ancestor Retreat. The new plans follow strong community opposition to the previous commercial centre, which was rejected due to strategic and environmental concerns.
• The developers claim the residential proposal aligns with existing infrastructure and neighbourhood patterns.
