The five pelicans have landed at Jindee

by

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

by

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

by

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 Wins Local Government Approval

by

Jindee is now the first land development in Western Australia with a comprehensive form-based code planning approach to receive approval from local government.

Estate Development Company (EDC) Project Manager James Blitz said it is a whole new planning approach for suburban development in WA, based on embracing existing landforms and the natural environment.

“This is especially important for a coastal development like Jindee, nestled in the sand hills, and seeking to ensure the eventual residents enjoy a natural linkage to the local environment and coastal features,” Mr Blitz said.

Westminster Estates has owned the Jindee land since 1978 and the area features a unique combination of rocky outcrops, reefs and dunes running perpendicular, rather than parallel, to the coast.

“This creates a natural amphitheatre where almost all of the area looks to the coast and ocean,” Mr Blitz said.

“This was the starting point when the company embarked on creating Jindee as an alternative, innovative and progressive model for a very special coastal development.”

State Parliament passes unique planning framework for Jindee

by

A legislative amendment passed by State Parliament this week makes way for the Jindee development in Perth’s north to be built with a ground-breaking new style of planning framework.

The proposal for Jindee is an unprecedented agreement between the Estates Development Company (EDC) the WA Planning Commission and the City of Wanneroo.

The unique estate will not follow a ‘clear and level’ approach but will instead be planned with respect to the natural contours of the land, which includes preserving sandhills.

EDC managing director Fiona Roche said the characteristics of the 120 hectare site would allow the estate to be built closer to the coast than recent developments.

“Jindee will be built on an undulating lot that encompasses one of the highest ridges along the metropolitan coastal strip and a rocky headland that provides a foundation for development closer to the coast than in lower and less stable areas,” she said.

Jindee is located on Marmion Ave, 37 kilometres north of Perth’s CBD.
