Please join us for a guided architectural tour of the Walyalup Civic Centre by KHA.

Located on Whadjuk Nyoongar Country the Walyalup Civic Centre designed by KHA was the winning entry in an International Architectural Design Competition run by the City of Fremantle in 2013.

The building is in the heart of the Fremantle City Centre adjacent to a large public space, Walyalup Koort. The project includes council chambers, office space and a lending library.

A continuous perforated-metal veil wraps the upper levels of the building providing shade, while operable windows and a large solar array mean the operation of the building can be carbon neutral.

The centrepiece of the project is the sloping lawn, conceived as an extension of the adjacent public space, connecting into the building.

Beneath it is the public library, which is naturally lit through east and west courtyards. The council chambers are situated at the top of the lawn in an elliptical stone volume with large apertures, ensuring that the democratic process is both visible and accessible to the public.

This is a unique opportunity to access all the Public Areas of the project with the insight of the Architects, KHA.

This is a free event but spaces are limited. Registrations are essential.

For questions about this event please contact the organiser.
