An open forum on the ‘redevelopment of heritage buildings in Fremantle’ will be held using the Atwell Arcade’s redevelopment as a focus. Fremantle’s diverse character has evolved since settlement in response to social, economic and technological changes and more recently, containerisation. It is necessary to identify just what it was that made Fremantle a diverse and viable place in order to successfully plan for the future. Can the heritage values of the city be successfully incorporated into the regeneration process without being compromised or eroded?
Alan Kelsall, Heritage Coordinator for the City of Fremantle, and Gerard O’Brien, owner of Silverleaf Investments, will join the forum. There will be a chance to look through the redevelopment as part of the meeting.
A key element of the Atwell Arcade is the iconic Culley’s Tea Rooms. Culleys have agreed to open for the evening for viewing and a delicious supper.
Meet at the High St end of Atwell Arcade on Thursday 26 April at 6.00pm. Meeting costs include a sumptuous supper at Culleys.
$15 for members and $20 for non members.
