Project Overview

Eastern Horizons is a State Government Department of Housing and Works New Living Project involving the Shire of Swan and other Government agencies in the redevelopment of portions of the suburbs of Midland, Midvale, Middle Swan, Swan View and Koongamia.

 Following extensive community consultation three main areas of need were identified for the area:

  1. Safety and Security (people and their property)
  2. Amenity and Aesthetics (appearance and the provision of facilities)
  3. Community Development (community activities and community ownership)

 Midland Project Management have been appointed to oversee this project. 

The Department of Housing and Works approved the "Master Plan" in December 1999. The Hynam Court (42 units) complex in Midland was demolished in December 1999. The resultant land is to be subdivided and sold. The City of Swan gave their "in principle" support of the Master Plan in March 2000. Refurbishment works have commenced on dwellings within the project area. 

The project's Sales and Information Office at 31 Hooley Road, Midland has been completed.

A Taskforce has been created to discuss issues in regards to the Midland/Midvale revitalisation project. The Taskforce meets once a month. A Community Consultative Committee has also been formed to discuss community development issues.

Project activities are underway and encompass these works:

 §         Infrastructure Work (new and refurbished parks, streetscapes, street lighting)

§         House and Land Refurbishments (carried out by MPM using subcontractors)

§         Community Development (through an officer located at Hooley House)

 Midland Project Management Pty Ltd (MPM) is the project manager for the project.
