The Town will hold a community information session at the East Fremantle Town Hall from 4.00 to 7.00 pm on Wednesday 16 May - you will be able to view the draft residential design guidelines and ask questions on a one-to-one basis with the manager planning services and consultants from Griffiths Architects and Chris Antill Planning and Urban Design, who prepared the draft guidelines.

The draft guidelines provide a guide for new housing developments and for additions and alterations to existing dwellings.

This community information session aims to facilitate discussion and feedback on the guidelines before they are finalised for consideration by council. You do not need to RSVP to attend.
