UEM Sunrise unveils residential project One Oval in Western Australia
PETALING JAYA: UEM Sunrise Bhd has revealed the name of its flagship project in Subiaco East, with One Oval marking a key step forward in the transformation of the historic Subiaco Oval precinct. The announcement coincides with the opening of early registrations for those interested in purchasing apartments in what will be the first residential project to proceed under the Western Australia government's Subiaco East Masterplan. This development is a key component of the Subiaco East Masterplan by Development WA, the Western Australia state government's central land and development agency, which aims to rejuvenate 35ha of land surrounding Subiaco Oval. The masterplan envisions creating an inner-city village that respects the area's rich heritage while introducing new residential, commercial and public spaces to meet the needs of a growing population. Established in 1908, Subiaco Oval was a historic sports stadium and was the premier venue of Western Australia's major football and rugby matches, as well as concerts. The stadium was demolished in 2019, with the playing surface preserved as a public park. One Oval will include two distinctive residential buildings with dynamic tiered heights of 36 and 26 storeys on Lot 1, and 11 storeys on Lot 2. In total, the project will deliver 342 residential units, with a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom options, 400 sqm of retail at ground level and a strong focus on wellness amenity and community connection. Construction is expected to commence next year, with completion of Lot 2 expected in the first quarter of 2029, and Lot 1 expected later that year. UEM Sunrise officer-in-charge and chief financial officer Hafizuddin Sulaiman says the name One Oval reflects both the site's legacy and its future as a new destination for Subiaco. 'We are proud to unveil One Oval as the name for our first project in Western Australia. This location holds deep sporting and cultural significance, and we see this as an opportunity to create something truly special that speaks to both history and the future. 'One Oval offers premium residences that are thoughtfully curated and innovatively designed, fostering inclusivity where residents will be able to enjoy elevated parkside living in one of Australia's most coveted suburbs,' said Hafizuddin. Over 70% of the development comprises of generously-sized two and three bedroom residences, featuring elements of inter-generational living and lifestyle offerings aligning with contemporary living. Beyond housing, One Oval will bring lasting benefits to the community. Plans include delivering infrastructure to support community events at the Heritage Gates park and the open space within the development adjoining the oval, as well as providing art activation and storage facilities at the oval for local football clubs.

Eco win for Ocean Reef Marina development
The first stage of the Ocean Reef Marina development is still a while from completion but the project is already earning recognition after becoming the first marina development in Australia to receive 'EnviroDevelopment certification' at the highest level attainable. The marina was independently awarded certification by Australia's peak development industry body, the Urban Development Institute of Australia, for sustainable design and construction across six key areas: ecosystems, waste, water, energy, materials and community. Among the green features of the development will be a renewable energy microgrid, expected to reduce annual energy bills by up to 30 per cent for future residents. Your local paper, whenever you want it. The State Government also claims that more than 80 per cent of construction waste is being diverted from landfill, with recycled materials repurposed for use in roads, carparks, drainage and other parts of the project. Once completed, the project, which the State Government has invested $272.3 million in, will feature 12,000sqm of business, retail, and commercial floor space, along with more than 5ha of publicly accessible open space, including parks and playgrounds. A 50m coastal pool, the first of its kind in Perth, will be complemented by a family beach created using more than 7500 tonnes of sand trucked in for the project.

Credit: DevelopmentWA / DevelopmentWA With stage one of the project set to open in 2026, Planning and Lands and Housing and Works Minister John Carey hopes the marina will become a major tourism precinct for WA. 'Ocean Reef Marina will become a world-class tourism precinct, featuring a diverse mix of residential options, lively local enterprises and attractions designed to draw visitors throughout the year, all underpinned by leading environmental sustainability practices,' Mr Carey said. 'This certification demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative, environmentally responsible projects that enhance the quality of life for Western Australians.' The marina will also feature 1000 new homes, including apartments, single-residential dwellings and mixed-use developments. The project is expected to create 8600 jobs during construction and provide ongoing employment for more than 900 people once completed. The marina will have 1000 new homes once complete.

Major construction activities, including clearing, earthworks, dredging and land reclamation, started in August 2022. The new Ocean Reef Sea Sports Club, Joondalup City RSL, and Marine Rescue Whitfords facilities are on track to open in late 2025, with the family beach and coastal pool anticipated to open in 2026 when stage one of the development is completed. Civil construction of the marina is not expected to be complete until 2030, with full build-out projected to extend beyond 2036. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

Revamp of once-iconic Subiaco Oval wins architecture prize
The redevelopment of the once-iconic Subiaco Oval has earned architectural honours as one of WA's best landscape designs of the year. Subi East Oval claimed three wins at last Friday's WA Landscape Architecture Awards. Delivered as part of the wider Subi East project from DevelopmentWA, the oval's design was recognised for its reimagining of the historic space across cultural heritage, open space and civic elements. Your local paper, whenever you want it. That translated to an award of excellence in the cultural heritage category in addition to two landscape architecture awards — one for parks and open space and the other for civic landscape. The project involved transforming the one-time home of WA football into a collection of open spaces that still includes an oval, as well as a modern playground, parkour course and a Noongar Six Seasons Bidi trail woven throughout the site. The redevelopment of the iconic Subi East Oval was named as one of WA's best landscape designs of the year in a prestigious architecture award ceremony last week. Credit: Miles Noel It was designed by UDLA and OCULUS. 'This complex, high-profile project meets significant technical and community expectations with clarity and sensitivity,' judges said. 'Leadership in Indigenous engagement is central to its success, shifting from consultation to co-decision-making with traditional owners.' Subi East is regarded as one of the most significant urban infill projects in WA's built environment history, having given a new life to the oval that served as a sporting hub for over a century. It also includes restored heritage gates, repurposed elements from the original stadium, and an open-air museum honouring the oval's legacy as the historic heart of WA football.

Bridging now to next
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) commenced on May 27. It is an important time to learn more about our shared history, culture and achievements, as well as consider how we can all contribute to reconciliation in Australia. The theme for this year's NRW is 'Bridging Now to Next', which reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future, and calls on all Australians to step forward together. This is a timely theme and an opportunity to outwardly pay our respects to the incredible knowledge and experience which Aboriginal Elders, traditional owners and community members have in connection with their land. This deep connection to the land is directly relevant to the work the urban development industry does in the creation of new communities and enhancement of existing ones across the state. Meaningful community engagement is an integral part of forming successful places and spaces for people to live, work and play to ensure they are vibrant, inclusive and respectful. Creating a strong connection to place through listening, learning and engaging with Elders, traditional custodians and local community members is an important aspect of understanding and ensuring connection to the land is represented, understood and integrated into communities. This week, UDIA WA has been participating in opportunities to learn more about Aboriginal people's lived experience and the role we can all play in reconciliation, including attending Reconciliation WA's breakfast event in Fremantle on the morning of May 27, along with more than 1000 guests. UDIA WA also hosted its own event in partnership with DevelopmentWA on May 28, where we learnt more about authentic Aboriginal engagement practices and had the opportunity to participate on a study tour to the Subi East redevelopment site. Here, we followed the Six Season Bidi Trail, which features seasonal landscaping and artwork representing the six seasons of Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba and Kambarang. We also visited Yagan Square and explored how this development has created storytelling opportunities for Whadjuk Noongar female artists. On Tuesday June 3 – the final day of NRW – the UDIA WA team will participate in the Walk for Reconciliation at Galup (Lake Monger), where we will walk in solidarity with local Whadjuk Noongar people and community members. Galup, which translates to 'place of fire', holds significance for the Whadjuk Noongar people as a place where many families used to camp and nurture their communities in the area prior to colonisation. UDIA WA's commitment to reconciliation has been formalised in our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which was endorsed last year and outlines how our organisation is taking meaningful action to advance reconciliation based around the core pillars of relationships, respect and opportunities. You can read more about our RAP in the About section on the UDIA WA website.
