Registrations for a community design workshop for the future of George Street are now open.
The collaborative workshop will be held at the East Fremantle Town Hall on Thursday 23 April from 6pm to 8pm.
Facilitated by external consultants, participants will consider how the street can safely function as a space that is shared by pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, while supporting reduced traffic speeds and improving overall amenity.
Town of East Fremantle Mayor Tony Natale said the initiative arose from the George Street Place Plan – created in 2025 – and reflected Council’s commitment to responding to community feedback about improving safety and activating the street.
“The workshop will focus on developing high level concepts and visualisations that balance traffic calming with safety and accessibility,” he said.
“It will also consider how we can improve walkability by creating a pedestrian shared space.”
“The outcomes will inform further concept development, cost estimates and a detailed design.”
Subject to Council consideration and funding, the Town plans to progress the project towards delivery in the 2026/27 financial year.
Mayor Natale said community input was essential to shape the future of George Street, and all interested community members were encouraged to participate.
Business owners, residents and community group members are asked to RSVP to admin@eastfremantle.wa.gov.au before Wednesday 22 April.
