ABOUT KINGS SQUARE FREMANTLE RENEWAL
It’s by far the biggest project ever undertaken by a Fremantle Council and is one of the biggest
developments in Fremantle’s history.
The coordinated renewal of the Fremantle city centre includes the redevelopment of the
Queensgate Centre, Queensgate car park and former Myer building owned by Sirona Capital.
It will also deliver new civic/community buildings including City of Fremantle administration
offices and library, enhanced public spaces, commercial and retail offerings.
This once-in-a-generation project will create a civic, retail, commercial and community hub that
is a vibrant, active and safe place which reflects Kings Square’s unique position in the heart of
Fremantle.
The project will create more than 2100 new local jobs for Fremantle once operational, injecting
$358m into the local economy.
