Date 01 October 2026 Category Media release Topic City venues The City welcomes applications from individuals, collectives and organisations who are passionate about creating work that connects people with place. The City of Fremantle is inviting the community to participate in the second stage of a three-stage Expression of Interest (EOI) process that will shape the future of the Manjaree Precinct. Stage one, which offered leasing opportunities for four units within the J-Shed building, as well as activation of the public realm has closed, with applications being assessed and an announcement to be made when leases are finalised. Stage two, offering two leasing opportunities at Mrs Trivett Place, opened on 1 October 2026 and will close at 5pm AWST on Thursday 26 November 2026. The leases are for units 13 and 15 which are located between the J-Shed building and Captains Lane at Manjaree/Bathers Beach. Stage three, with leasing opportunities in Captains Lane, will follow at the beginning of 2027. The Manjaree EOI leasing project responds to an identified need for creative and cultural spaces in Walyalup/Fremantle, offering artists, creatives and cultural practitioners the opportunity to experiment, connect and share their work. These opportunities are designed to support the arts community while creating welcoming spaces for the community to enjoy. Proposals that create memorable experiences, attract and engage visitors, and celebrate the unique identity of Manjaree and Walyalup/Fremantle are of particular interest. Successful projects will encourage people to explore the precinct, spend time in the space, and connect with its rich cultural, historical and creative stories.
