Developer 3 Oceans Property has submitted a new $225 million proposal to redevelop the former Matilda Brewery site in Western Australia, reviving a project whose initial design was turned down more than three years ago.
The latest plan represents a formal resubmission of the scheme by 3 Oceans Property following the earlier rejection, signalling the developer has revised or redesigned its approach before seeking fresh approvals.
The site at the centre of the application is the decommissioned Matilda Brewery location, a prominent parcel in the WA development pipeline that has been the subject of redevelopment interest for several years.
The new application will progress through the state and local planning approval processes, where it will be examined against zoning rules, design guidelines and infrastructure requirements before any work can begin.
At $225 million, the proposal is a sizeable investment for the precinct and would add to the region’s construction workload if it secures the necessary permits and finance.
Local residents, nearby businesses and the construction sector are likely to follow the application closely, as outcomes for major brownfield sites can influence traffic, amenity and commercial activity in the surrounding area.
3 Oceans Property’s decision to re-submit comes after more than three years since the first design was rejected, indicating the developer has spent time reworking plans to address previous concerns or to respond to market conditions.
The submission restarts a planning timetable: assessments, public consultation periods and possible modifications will determine the project’s next steps before any building approvals are issued.
If the application is accepted, the project would move into later stages such as detailed design, contractor tendering and construction, subject to funding and regulatory milestones.
For now, the key development milestone is the lodgement of the new $225 million plan with planning authorities, which will determine whether the former Matilda Brewery site proceeds to the next phase of redevelopment.
