KINGS SQUARE ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION 2013 Kings Square has been the civic and geographical heart of Fremantle since the Town hall as built in the 1880S. The purpose of the competition is to select a design concept approach and design team to develop core facilities for the City of Fremantle on the City’s current site in Kings Square. The facilities will comprise a public library, civic chamber, administrative and surplus office space, council services, urban room, visitor centre, café and specialty retail, together with the entire public realm of High Street within Kings Square. The competition site also incorporates the adjacent heritage listed Town Hall building and the surrounding public spaces. The development will be part of the wider Kings Square Project that is being conducted under an agreement with Sirona Capital, the owner of the adjacent former Myer property, in which particular requirements for the design, staging and funding are to be accommodated. The key objective of the overall project is to create a civic, retail, commercial and community hub that is a vibrant, active and safe place for all users and reflects Kings Square’s unique place at the heart of Fremantle. By continuing extensive work undertaken by the City, the competition will result in a project that will transform the civic heart of Fremantle with a development of regional importance. Moreover, it will help cement the concepts of design excellence and sustainability practice into the aspirations of the Fremantle community. This competition is endorsed by the Australian Institute of Architects. STEP 1. REGISTRATION Registration is a two stage process.
