The vision for the WACA precinct is of a light,

transparent and clean architecture grounded by an
articulated
podium responsive to the street and
public realm. This will provide a human scale to the
surrounding streets and an interesting addition to the
city skyline. This will develop a cohesive language
that is fitting a site with the
landmark and
international status of the WACA Ground.

The Members Entry Interface will act as

a beacon for the WACA in the public
realm. It will be landscaped to take
advantage of its northern orientation
and will act as a gathering space on
event and nonevent days as the face of
the WACA for the public, tourists and
members.
It
will
externalise
the
excitement of the WACA for the broader
community. It will have a strong
relationship to the Centre of Cricketing
Excellence, the practice nets of which
will be highly visible to the public.
SOUTHEAST INTERFACE

GARDEN

Queens Gardens is a landmark landscape

within the Riverside Project Area. The
provision for a green space opposite the
Gardens is intended to respond to this
environment, visually connecting the
WACA playing surface to the landscape of
the Gardens. The design intent is to
create an invitation to the public to watch
the team training
with a landscaped
arbour which provides shaded viewing.
The practice nets shall be appropriately
framed to define and reinforce the street
edge while contributing to Hale Road as a
major public interface and main entry to
the WACA and as a gathering place for
crowds attending events.

INTERFACE LOCATION

The SouthEast Interface/Forecourt provides the WACA Ground with a

link to the Swan River through its proximity to the new Water Bank
Development. This forecourt space will capitalise on its proximity to the
water and express this unique characteristic in its design. Despite the
relative proximity of the WACA to the Swan River this interface is unique
in its ability to physically and visually connect to this landmark
environment from the site.

LAND USE AND DENSITIES

(Western Australian Cricket Association since 1890)

BUILDING HEIGHT AND SETBACKS
The setbacks and building heights to podium structures and towers have
been defined to control the physical and
visual amenity of development within the WACA Precinct. The control of
building heights will ensure that new
development respects the character and proportions of the existing streets
whilst permitting the development of
land mark buildings that will provide a unique identity for the area.
Building height is controlled by two measures. The maximum height is
indicated by the height given in metres (i.e.
24 metres). The maximum scale of development is indicated by reference
to storeys (i.e. 6 storeys

ACOUSTICS
Design measures should aim to minimise noise impacts
on workers and residents.

VEHICULAR ACCESS
Access to parking areas for residents and workers shall
be safe, efficient and visible. Gates and garages should
not unduly compromise the streetscape or visual quality
of the development. Pedestrian safety is the paramount
consideration.

BICYCLE PARKING, END OF TRIP

FACILITIES AND PEDESTRIAN
ACCESS
Allow for the secure parking of bicycles along with end
oftrip facilities to support the use of cycling.
