Matilda Bay brewery site to become 227-apartment and hotel complex

North Fremantle's vacant Matilda Bay Brewery will be redeveloped. A $225 million plan will create 227 apartments, a hotel, supermarket and shops.

North Fremantle's heritage Matilda Bay Brewery site will be transformed into a mixed-use area. Two apartment towers will create 227 homes.

The northern tower will be up to 18 storeys and the southern tower 8 storeys tall. The project also includes a 51-room hotel, supermarket, brewery, cafes and restaurants.

The $225 million development by 3 Oceans Property includes about 600 car parking spaces. A central public plaza will also be built.

The heritage building will be refurbished. Existing warehouses will be demolished.

The State Design Review Panel said it 'broadly supports' the new design. An earlier 2022 proposal was rejected in 2023.

It was rejected for being too tall and for heritage concerns. The site has sat vacant since 2013.

Public consultation runs until December 6.

Why it mattersNorth Fremantle currently lacks a supermarket, full-service hotel and public gathering space. This project fills major service gaps. It also brings new life to a long-empty heritage landmark.

AustraliaThe development would bring the first full-service hotel and first supermarket to North Fremantle, plus 227 new homes and significant construction and permanent jobs.
