Frasers Property Australia has sold the site for the planned Baldivis Parks Neighbourhood Retail and Childcare Centre to Oreana Property. Oreana anticipates delivering the new neighbourhood retail and childcare centre in 2025.

The proposed shopping centre and childcare site is part of Frasers Property’s Baldivis Parks masterplanned community which has been designed as a family-friendly environment with a series of green open spaces and natural bushlands with easy access to key transport routes and facilities, just 11km from Rockingham.

When completed, the 5,500sqm site at the entrance to the Baldivis Parks community (2 Daintree Street, Baldivis), which is proposed to incorporate a supermarket, specialty shops, a much-needed childcare centre and capacity for 67 car parks. It’s in the heart of a rapidly expanding catchment, with the population of Baldivis North recorded in 2022 as 12,396 and forecast to grow to 31,352, or 152.93%, by 2046.^[1] 

The site is easily accessible from the Kwinana Freeway and other major arterial roads including Mundijong Road and Safety Bay Road, both of which have seen recent significant increases in passing traffic.

Tod O’Dwyer, General Manager Development – Western Australia, Frasers Property Australia says with a proven track record in delivering quality neighbourhood centres, Oreana Property is the ideal partner to bring the Baldivis Parks Shopping and Childcare Centre to life.

“The Centre will be an important focal point for the growing community, and we will work together with Oreana Property during the planning and design phases to ensure that the project is consistent with the character and design of Baldivis Parks,” says Mr O’Dwyer.

The thriving Baldivis Parks community is nestled between Baldivis Road and Kwinana Freeway and is already home to approximately 1,300 residents. In addition to its easy access to major arterial roads and transport, its eight parks will encompass almost seven hectares of public open space upon completion, and with over ten schools and education facilities in the immediate vicinity, Baldivis Parks is particularly appealing to families.

“The addition of the new neighbourhood retail and commercial centre will bring greater convenience and complement the growing community very well,” says Mr O’Dwyer.

Baldivis Parks Neighbourhood Retail and Childcare Centre will be the second West Australian project for Oreana Property following planning approval for its Butler Village retail precinct in Perth’s northern corridor in June 2022.

“Based on our current timetable, we expect to have completed design and planning and lodge a development application by September 2023. Ideally, we hope the centre to be operational in early 2025.

“We look forward to working with local builders, retailers and service providers to deliver a project which the local community can be proud of,” says Mr Raywood.
