The City has received a Development Application for Remediation Earthworks for the Bentley Redevelopment Project (Bentley 360) at 32 Dumond Street, Bentley WA 6102.
The proposal involves the excavation of the land and tree clearing in order to rectify existing site conditions for future residential development. As articulated on the provided drawings, excavation will occur to maximum depths of 7m (metres) before being compacted and replaced with clean and suitable materials.
The applicant on behalf of Development WA have advised the works are necessary in order to change the existing quality of the land from a "Class P" (not considered suitable to support residential development) to a "Class A" category (land with no constraints), as required for development in accordance with Australian Standard 2870-2011 - Residential Slabs and Footings.

Bentley Redevelopment Project – Overview and Background to this Proposal
As identified by the State Government, the Bentley Redevelopment Project (Bentley 360) has been recognised as an ideal site for Urban Renewal to assist with housing supply. The development area has remained dormant for nearly 10 years and the existing Planning Framework for the area is due for a renewal. The State has accelerated the initial phase of the development for the whole area and has utilised Development WA to create the Bentley Redevelopment Area to guide and control future growth.
Prior to the formalisation of the Bentley Redevelopment Area and before Development WA takes control over the planning and development of the area, this application for earthworks has been lodged with the City of Canning for consideration. This application is solely to consider the remediation works required to address future development.
To stay informed over the future plans of this area, it is encouraged to review the Development WA’s website for the project and for any further updates on the wider renewal of this site: https://developmentwa.com.au/projects/redevelopment/bentley-redevelopment-project/about-the-project
Alternatively, for any further queries regarding the Bentley Redevelopment Project, please contact Development WA by calling the Community Information Line on 1800 879 574 or via email at: bentley@developmentwa.com.au
