Bentley Technology Park

The Goal

The project set out to unlock the long-term potential of Bentley Technology Park by removing outdated constraints and establishing a contemporary, flexible planning framework. The focus is on enabling growth, collaboration and adaptability, while reinforcing the precinct’s role as a key hub for innovation, research and technology in Western Australia.

Our Role

Working alongside DevelopmentWA and a multidisciplinary consultant team, TBB Planning has supported the preparation of a precinct-wide planning and design framework to guide future investment and change across the technology park.

The approach has centred on collaboration and engagement, bringing together landowners, local governments and stakeholders across two planning jurisdictions. This has included vision setting, testing built form and land use options, and developing pathways to remove restrictive covenants that have limited growth and adaptability over time.

The Outcome

Bentley Technology Park is now progressing toward a coordinated and future-focused planning framework that supports long-term renewal and investment. The emerging precinct structure plan and associated scheme amendments will provide clarity and flexibility for redevelopment, enabling new forms of research, employment and collaboration to occur as the precinct evolves.

While the project remains ongoing, the work to date has established a shared vision and a clear pathway for change, helping reposition one of Australia’s oldest technology parks for contemporary needs. For DevelopmentWA and stakeholders, the framework provides confidence to plan for growth. For Western Australia, it supports the continued development of a globally competitive innovation ecosystem.
