The City of Fremantle regularly invites Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from businesses, organisations, community groups and individuals for a range of opportunities across Fremantle.
View current City of Fremantle Expressions of Interest below, including opportunities for leasing, partnerships, activations, events and other projects.
City of Fremantle’s annual Truth-Telling screen and cultural festival, FOCUS First Nation Films, returns 26 January 2027.
We’re seeking short films made by, or in collaboration with, First Nations filmmakers of all ages and backgrounds — from primary schools to tertiary film students, independent filmmakers, community groups and cultural leaders.
We welcome short films that respond to the theme of truth-telling and celebrate the strength, resilience and self-determination of First Nations communities.
Selected films will be screened as part of our family-focused afternoon program, providing an opportunity for our community to listen, learn, and connect with First Nations stories & culture.
Prizes to be announced
Please send a brief overview of your project and downloadable link to your film file to: ffnf@fremantle.wa.gov.au
Submission deadline: Wednesday 18 November 2026 | 5pm AWST
The City of Fremantle invites community participation in the second stage of the Expression of Interest (EOI) process to shape the future of the Manjaree Precinct.
Building on the first stage, this second stage offers leasing opportunities for two units at Mrs Trivett Place (Units 13 and 15), located between the J-Shed building and Captains Lane.
We welcome applications from individuals, collectives and organisations at all stages of creative and cultural practice or business development who are passionate about creating work that connects people with place.
Proposals that create memorable experiences, attract and engage visitors, and celebrate the unique identity of Manjaree and Walyalup/Fremantle are of particular interest.
Commercial rent has been valued at $150 to $225 per square metre.
Inspections times will be held from 10-10.30am on Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 October 2026.
Attendance at a viewing is encouraged but not mandatory.
The City does not expect community or not for profit tenants to pay full commercial rent. If you offer less rent, explain the community benefits you will provide and how your idea supports Manjaree.
Both units are expected to be available in January or February 2027.
Applicants are encouraged to review the EOI pack and supporting documents for all relevant information and application requirements.
If you have questions, email the City’s team at ProcurementTeam@fremantle.wa.gov.au to arrange a phone conversation.
Submit your completed EOI before Thursday 26 November 2026, 5pm AWST.
