Beach access open at Jindee estate for summer

December 19, 2018 by Jane Seman

A walking track that gives local Jindalee residents and visitors easy access to the beach this summer has been opened up at the Jindee estate.

The temporary beach trail is a scenic 900 metre walk via Hilltop Lane, using existing paths and wayfinding signs to guide walkers over the dune and down to the beach.

Over time, Jindee will be the closest land estate to the ocean in Perth and will include a foreshore precinct just 50 metres from the deepwater line as part of plans for the development to connect the new community seamlessly with the coastline.

The track is already being put to use by beachgoers.

To walk the trail this summer:

By car: Turn right into Limestone St off Oceania Avenue, right into Lifesaver Lane, Left onto Hilltop Lane then follow to the end.
By foot: Follow one of the scenic passages off Limestone St (which are part of the future coastal walk)

The five pelicans have landed at Jindee

November 20, 2018 by Fionna

A unique public art installation has arrived at the Estate Development Company (EDC) owned Jindee estate – five pelicans perched on timber sourced from the old Bunbury wharf.

EDC Chair, Fiona Roche said that the pelicans are about more than visual appeal and are a reflection of the strong connection we have with our coastline in Western Australia.

“Public art has an important role in enriching communities – not only is it to be enjoyed by people of all ages, but it is about expressing a shared sentiment and sparking imagination or memories,” Ms Roche said.

“Pelicans are a natural fit for our new beachside community as they link back to the nostalgia of growing up around Perth and enjoying our beautiful beaches.”

The five pelican sculptures have been installed at the square-about intersection of Oceania and Midsummer Ave upon entry to the Jindee estate in the northern suburb of Jindalee.

Designer and creator Rick Grigsby said that pelicans feature folded origami-style plates and 30 metres of welds.

Together with his brother Ben, Rick designed, planned, sourced materials and constructed each of the five different pelican designs, reminiscent of their own childhood.

“In Western Australia, pelicans are a common sight and one that evokes strong memories associated with the lifestyle we are so lucky to enjoy here,” Rick said.

“As kids Rick and I grew up along the northern beaches – fishing, diving and catching crays, and the pelicans were always there and a a part of these experiences,” Rick said.

Innovative new Jindee building sets benchmark in sales office design

August 8, 2018 by Tara

Future residents, community members and stakeholders this weekend celebrated the official opening of the Jindee land sales office, an innovative and sustainable design unlike standard sales office buildings.

The new land sales office is located on the corner of Marmion Avenue and Oceania Avenue in the northern suburb of Jindalee and presents as an open pavilion, featuring floor to ceiling glass and showcasing 180 degree views of the ocean-side location.

Following its use as a lands sales office, the state of the art building will be relocated to the coast in the future and repurposed as a community facility.

Fiona Roche, Executive Chair of Estates Development Company (EDC) developer of the Jindee estate said that the building raises the bar on sales centre design through high quality architectural response, innovative construction techniques and sustainability measures.

“The unique design of the land sales office, like the Jindee estate as a whole, is premised on timeless design principles and a close relationship between the urban and natural environment, respecting the landforms and coastal character of the site,” Ms Roche said.

“It has been constructed to integrate seamlessly with its surrounds – the two-storey structure has an inner glass structure overlaid by a timber-clad exterior and features a large roof terrace with panoramic views.”

Ms Roche said that sustainable development and environmental performance were key considerations in the building design, which has resulted in a structure that can be disassembled and relocated as required.

“The land sales building is ideal for a facility that will service the Jindee community well in the future and, due to its modular design, it can be simply lifted up and reinstalled elsewhere on site,” Ms Roche said.

“The design also incorporates sustainable elements throughout including solar passive design features to reduce energy needs, maximise the use of natural light and support cross-ventilation.

The new Jindee land sales office

Community invited to be part of Jindee history

August 1, 2018 by Tara

Residents and visitors to the Jindee estate’s land sales office opening on Saturday and Sunday 4 – 5 August will not only learn more about the estate but will be able to watch a unique live artwork come to life and contribute to it themselves.

Award winning Noongar artist Bradley Kickett is creating a live painting of the Jindee coast and land in Jindalee based on his aerial photography of the site, painting from the new sales office on site.

Fiona Roche, Executive Chair of Estates Development Company (EDC) developer of the Jindee estate said that the artwork has been commissioned to celebrate an important milestone for the estate and is an opportunity for community members to be a part of a piece of history.

“We are excited to invite people to join us as we open the doors to our new sales office – a significant moment as the Jindee vision really begins taking shape on site,” Ms Roche said.

“The state of the art design of our new sales office reflects this broader vision for Jindee, integrating seamlessly with the natural environment – the two-storey structure has an inner glass structure overlaid by a timber-clad exterior and features a large roof terrace.”

“Bradley’s style of painting is perfect to capture Jindee as he celebrates the ocean and natural landforms in his art, which also reflects the Jindee vision.”

Bradley said that, through all of his art pieces, he sets out to capture the flow and shapes of the earth as seen in an aerial view.

“The painting is inspired by the natural coastline and dunes at Jindee as seen from the air and the process for this art piece allows visitors to add their mark on the canvas,” Bradley said.

The Jindee estate and sales office is located on the corner of Marmion Avenue and Oceania Avenue, Jindalee, featuring floor to ceiling glass to showcase 180 degree views of the oceanside estate.

Following its use as a lands sales office, the building will be relocated to the coast in the future and repurposed to as a community facility.

Jindee’s pocket park complete featuring Australia’s largest swing

January 31, 2018 by Jane Seman

The City of Wanneroo is now home to Australia’s largest swing as part of the pocket park now completed along with Stage One of Estate Development Company’s (EDC) Jindee development.

EDC Chair, Fiona Roche said the swing symbolises the unique lifestyle and fun community focus of the Jindee development as opposed to more traditional suburban developments.

“Jindee is all about uniqueness and exceptionality, and at 11 metres wide and 7 metres high the massive bench-swing structure is more akin to a piece of art than playground equipment,” Fiona said.

After strong interest following the release of Stage 1A, another 10 premium home-sites are now available (two have already pre-sold) that overlook the newly-designed parkland where the distinctive bench-swing structure has been built.

Full landscaping works are now complete for Stage 1B and include:

Jindee vision coming to life in Perth’s north

October 28, 2017 by Jane Seman

It has been fifteen years in the making and Estates Development Company’s (EDC) revolutionary vision for the Jindee estate in Perth’s north is finally coming to life with stage one lots released today.

EDC Executive Chairperson Fiona Roche said that the estate, located in Jindalee, is a first of its kind development that has been designed to reflect the traditional coastal living of Perth as seen at Fremantle, Rottnest Island and Cottesloe.

“From the outset we have wanted to develop a distinctive connection to the natural environment and deliver a true coastal village and diverse residential areas that will not look or feel like a traditional suburban estate,” she said.

“After more than a decade of planning it is terrific to finally allow the public into Jindee to see our vision of a truly unique coastal village come to life over the months and years ahead.”

Jindee will include approximately 900 residential lots, with 30 of these homesites released today.

The development will feature a mix of transects, from small lot housing and mixed uses in an urban setting, to bigger lots with a rural feel. Lots will range from 165sqm to over 2500sqm.

The development of a coastal village was first proposed in 2002 when world renowned Architect and Urban Planner Andreas Duany and his team of 12 architects and designers came to Perth and held a charette with EDC the City of Wanneroo and the WA Planning Commission (WAPC).

“The urban design for Jindee was presented by Andres Duany to an open meeting of the City of Wanneroo attended by residents, urban planners and developers, to much critical acclaim.”

Andres Duany is known for his design work for communities such as Seaside, Kentlands and Rosemary Beach in the United States.

Further development of the concept continued over the intervening years with members of Andrea’s original team including DPZ Pacific and Ludwig Fontalvo-Abello.

After leaving DPZ, Ludwig continued to return to Perth on a regular basis to lead the design team for Jindee, which included the national planning team of Roberts Day.

“What we have achieved so far, would not have been possible without the vision, co-operation and support of the WAPC and the City of Wanneroo.”

“EDC is immensely grateful for the foresight the State Government, City of Wanneroo and our stakeholders who have been prepared to embrace a new way of developing and protecting land – which represents a significant departure from historic practice.”

Ms Roche said that, in layman’s terms, the Jindee Development has been designed to reflect the traditional coastal living of Perth as seen at Fremantle, Rottnest Island and Cottesloe.

“It seeks to be a walking environment where it is a pleasure to stroll through the natural environments, the village and the diverse residential areas all within the square kilometre that is Jindee,” she said.

“Given this goal, Jindee will not be a traditional suburban development with a single culture.”

“Rather what is planned within the 112 hectares of Jindee are a diversity of experiences that reflect different living environments and each of these environments will be what Andres Duany calls ‘fully immersive environments’ each with a different atmosphere and feel.”

“The Jindee coastal village will be created to meet the ocean in much the same way as Cottesloe meets the ocean.”

“This will feel like an ocean-side village and have atmosphere of an ocean-side village, including restaurants and shops as well as apartments and town houses.”

“There will be a natural living environment with large lots immersed in the natural environment on the ridgelines where roads will wind over the dunes and housing will nestle into hillside with uninterrupted views over the coast.”

“This anticipates an atmosphere much like old Quinns.”

A more urban environment will be created in the amphitheatre flanked by the ridgelines. Homes will engage with the street and create an atmosphere more like the residential areas of Fremantle, Cottesloe and Subiaco.

A more traditional suburban area will be developed which will allow for the larger lots more in keeping with older northern suburbs of Perth.

“What is important to EDC is to create diverse experiences at Jindee, from village to natural, each of which are able to be enjoyed by the residents and visitor alike,” said Ms Roche.
