Jindee, located 37km north-west of Perth, encompasses 112ha of premium coastal land with extensive frontage to the spectacular Indian Ocean coastline.

Jindee has been carefully planned and designed to achieve an authentic seaside village that captures the essence of coastal living in Western Australia. The vision for Jindee is to achieve an integrated coastal community that provides a viable alternative to the pattern of urban sprawl prevalent along the Perth metropolitan coastline.

The built environment and landscape is designed to complement the coastal setting, not unlike the built form heritage of much-loved Perth coastal settlements of Rottnest, Cottesloe and Fremantle. Integral to the design is preservation of the site’s inherent environmental qualities through the protection of significant vegetation and landforms.

The design and planning process has been a collaboration of Roberts Day and US-based urban design consultants DPZ and Studio LFA. The project embraces the timeless principles of town planning and design and successfully applies two innovative design tools - the Transect model and Form Based Codes - to achieve a distinctive and diverse urban landscape that responds closely to the natural environment.

Approximately 1,100 dwellings of various densities will be accommodated within the project that will enjoy access to the coast and a compact, walkable, mixed use coastal village. The coastal village is designed to respond to local community need as well as become a prominent tourist, lifestyle and entertainment destination for the north-west region of Perth.

To facilitate implementation of Jindee and its founding vision, the landowner and State and Local Government entered into the Jindee Innovation Agreement. Its ratification is a significant milestone, permitting the like-for-like exchange of inland reserve with coastal reserve. This is critical to enabling the coastal village to be built closer to the coast.

Visual and physical integration of the village with the coast will enhance the viability of planned tourist and commercial activities and contribute to its seaside character.
