Alkimos Central

Alkimos Central is a DevelopmentWA masterplan project in the City of Wanneroo’s northern coastal corridor, spanning 198 hectares and accommodating approximately 2,500 dwellings. Alkimos Central will include mixed-use commercial and residential development, with a focus on sustainability outcomes to create a liveable, connected and lower carbon built environment.

DevelopmentWA has undertaken extensive work to evaluate Alkimos Central as a net zero-aligned project, and to consider precinct-scale certification options. This work includes cost-benefit analyses of decarbonisation options for the precinct, and life cycle assessment (LCA) of pathways to net zero for operational carbon and for upfront carbon in civil works.

At the planning stage, Alkimos Central demonstrates how mitigation and adaptation can be integrated, with a focus on active and low carbon transport
options, green infrastructure (trees) to reduce urban heat island effects, and design guidelines to enable more efficient and lower carbon buildings and infrastructure.
