"Perth's first 5 star Green Star building (under the Green Building Council of Australia rating system), setting a new benchmark in sustainability in buildings in Perth.
* Around 19 per cent less emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere over and above current industry best practice.
* It provides the equivalent savings of 108 houses or removing 91 cars from the roads.
* Low energy light systems that modulate based on the strength of daylight outside
* Lift systems that count the actual number of people in the building and reduce air quantities to match the occupancy
* High efficiency air conditioning systems that recover waste heat from the building
* Uses captured wastewater from showers and basins and recycling this through the building.
* Optimises the buildings form and fa?ade to minimise the amount of heat that the building absorbs from the atmosphere and to allow the building to loose heat and "breath" naturally.
* Features winter gardens on the western facades to treat high intensity solar loads, and extensive roof gardens to enhance the biodiversity across the development.
* Offers tenants a modern and environmentally sustainable workplace with the added convenience of being immediately adjacent to transport and civic amenities.
As well as achieving the 5 star from the green Building Council the development also will be built and operated at a 4.5 star rating under the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating scheme, which results in significant energy savings and emissions of carbon dioxide over current industry best practice buildings."
132-142 William Street
PERTH WA 6000
Mixed Use Development
comprising 3 Office
towers over 2 levels of
retail, dining and
entertainment and 2 levels
of basement car park.
190,000,000.00 DA 2006/2412
The proposed development comprises the following main building elements:
1. The Station Box:
Located at the corner of Murray Street Mall and William Street, the double-storey
development over the William Street railway station entry comprises glass louvre
facades, animated signage and will accommodate a bar to add activity to the
development after retail business hours. A roof terrace is provided above the ‘station
box’.
2. Refurbished Heritage Buildings:
The application proposes the conservation and adaptive re-use of the heritage
buildings along Wellington Street known as the Wellington Buildings, Globe Hotel
and Baird’s Building. The ground floor of the Wellington Building, on the corner of
William and Wellington Street, will comprise retail floor space. The ground floor of
the Globe Hotel and Baird's building will comprise a bar and lobby facilities. The
upper floors will be utilised for short-stay budget (“backpacker”) accommodation. A
contemporary building will be constructed on the vacant land between the Wellington
Buildings and the Globe Hotel, provide a building frontage of complementary scale.
The Mitchell Building façade is to be reinstated 19 metres north of its original location
on William Street, adjacent to the Wellington Buildings. The ground floor facade and
building structure will comprise new fabric.
3. Retail Podium:
Retail space is proposed on the ground and first floors of the development. The retail
tenancies address the external streets as well as the internal lanes within the
proposed development. . The ground floor of the new development comprises
several pedestrian links and plazas throughout the site. A north-south link,
connecting Murray Street Mall with Wellington Street is identified as Railway Lane.
The main east-west link, known as Globe Lane, connects William Street with Forrest
Place via the existing colonnade to the rear of Albert Facey House. Another minor
link is also provided from William Street to Railway Lane to the rear of the station
box. The floor finishes within the pedestrian links are intended to be green granite
tiles, consistent with the materials used in the Hay Street Mall and soon to be used in
the Murray Street Mall upgrade.
Three plaza spaces are also provided at ground floor level. Railway Square, located
adjacent to the station box and Murray Street Mall, comprises the main pedestrian
entrance to the retail areas of the proposed development. It measures 20 metres by
32 metres. Postal Place, located central to the site and to the rear of the Post Office,
measures 22 metres by 35 metres. This central plaza also provides pedestrian
access through to the ground floor of the post office building and Forrest Place
beyond. Globe Court, located behind the Wellington Buildings and at the intersection
of Globe Lane and Railway Lane, measures 20 metres by 22 metres. Both Globe
Lane and Postal Place are open to the air, whilst Railway Square is partly covered by
the first floor above.
Access to the first floor retail and station box bar is provided by escalators from
Railway Square and Postal Place.
4. The Office Tower:
The central part of the site extending to William Street and Murray Street Mall will
comprise the new office tower. The tower itself is to be split into three elements,
comprising a 6 level building on the Murray Street Mall, a 15 level component central
to the site and a 21 level component to the rear of the heritage buildings. The nine
levels above the retail podium will be occupied by government departments, with the
remaining ten levels accommodating private tenants. The main entry lobby for the
office building is located central to the site on William Street. It incorporates a café,
seating area and lift lobby and is encased with a glass façade and roof. A secondary
foyer to the office building, incorporating a lift lobby, is located adjacent to ‘Railway
Square’. The top level of the tower houses the plant and communications equipment
for the building and is obscured from view by pre-cast concrete walls and aluminium
screens.
The development has been designed to qualify as a 5-star Greenstar rated building,
incorporating several sustainable design elements. As such, the building is
characterised by modulated elements and a range of materials to provide for
appropriate shading and light access, including various glazing systems utilising blue,
green and grey glass, metal shading elements, aluminium louvres, pre-cast concrete
in a sandblasted and white finish and timber sections. Roof terraces and internal
garden spaces are provided at various levels throughout the office tower, providing
breakout space for the office users.
5. Basement Levels:
The application proposes to incorporate some retail facilities adjacent to the main
concourse level of the William Street railway station. A new escalator is proposed to
link the concourse to a central location within the ground floor retail portion of the
development.
The development contains tenant car parking within two basement levels,
accommodating 171 tenant car parking bays, bicycle parking and end of trip facilities.
Vehicular access is gained from William Street, with service vehicles using the
existing loading dock entry from Wellington Street.
Pedestrian Links:
Pedestrian facilities must be strategically located and offer convenience of movement
within the city to qualify for a plot ratio bonus. The facility should be easily
accessible, safe, convenient and comfortable to use, be adequately protected from
the elements and contain features of interest.
A number of pedestrian links have been provided through the site to access the retail
facilities and adjacent public spaces. Pedestrian access to the site is through various
points at Wellington, William, and Murray Streets with a link also provided through the
GPO through to Forrest Place. The development also allows for the convenient
movement of pedestrian traffic between major public areas including Forrest Place,
Wellington, William and Murray Streets. The applicant has stated that the facilities
will provide protection from the weather and contain a diversity of activity and
features of interest. The lanes throughout the development are between five and six
metres wide, being in excess of the minimum requirements of the City Planning
Scheme No. 2 Policy 4.9 Pedestrian Walkways.
Public Spaces:
Under the Bonus Plot Ratio Policy, public space includes courts and pedestrian
retreats on private land for public use. Three plaza spaces have been provided in
support of the 8.2% plot ratio bonus, being:-
• Railway Square (640m2) adjacent to Murray Street Mall, which comprises the
main entrance to the retail podium of the development.
• Globe Court (440m2) at the rear of the Wellington Buildings.
• Postal Place (770m2) which provides a connection through to the GPO and
Forrest Place.
Both Globe Court and Postal Plaza are open to the sky and will be framed by the
contemporary architecture of the office tower and the traditional facades of the
heritage buildings.
The applicant has provided the following justification in support of the Public Spaces:-
“There are various high quality public spaces within the proposed development that
have been developed in a hierarchy so as to create spaces which are easily
understood and create a legible urban environment. Forrest Place forms the highest
priority space for this city block and secondary to that is the proposed Railway
Square. The proposed land uses such as retail and dining, in close proximity to a
major entrance to the William Street station will allow it to become the City’s central
meeting place. Globe Court will form the third tier of the public space hierarchy,
whilst Postal Place provides an important link through to the GPO and is surrounded
by high quality retail outlets.”
CBD tenant search
Property: 26-July-07 by Jenelle Carter
Developer of the $400 million project at 140 William Street, Cbus Property, is on the lookout for tenants to occupy the site’s office and retail space component.
Recently appointed joint venture builder, Diploma Probuild, is expected to complete the landmark development – which will eventually house more than 2,500 workers above the William Street train station – by 2010.
While the state government has committed to leasing 22,000 square metres of office space in the building, around 13,000sq m of office space remains available on the upper levels.
On the retail front, up to 6,500sq m of retail space is earmarked over two floors at ground level ranging from prime Murray Street Mall frontage through to large tenancies on the first floor.
Colliers International associate director retail leasing Richard Cash said the tenancies would attract a mix of retailers from high-end fashion, through to cafes, a food hall and tavern.
Mr Cash said the food hall would occupy the first floor overlooking Murray Street Mall, while a tavern on the same floor would have access to a second floor deck overlooking Murray and William streets.
“Currently there is no available mall frontage space available in the Perth CBD and very little anywhere else in the CBD. The limited offer of space in this development will be keenly sought by national and international tenants,” he said in a statement.
Elsewhere in the CBD, a further four combined office and retail projects are scouting for tenants, including 140 William Street’s near neighbours Raine Square, Century City and the Wesley Arcade.
BankWest-anchored Raine Square has about 4,000sq m of retail space to fill while Century City at 100 St Georges Terrace has a more substantial 15,000sq m of space over four floors fronting the Hay Street Mall.
In addition, about 3,500sq m of space is to come online at the redeveloped Wesley Arcade next year and a further 10,000sq m of retail/commercial space will be available by 2011 at Capital Square, on the former Emu Brewery site.

The application was subsequently approved by the Council at it meeting held on
13 March 2007. Since then a number of amendments to the development have
been approved under delegated authority including:-
• the change of use of the Bairds Building and Globe Hotel within the
development from special residential to office, retail and bar facilities;
• the removal of one level from the office tower, reducing the overall height by
approximately four metres;
• modifications to ‘Postal Place’ linking to the GPO Building, including a revised
escalator location integrated with a new car park exhaust, glass canopies,
awnings and a disabled lift;
• realignment of the façade at ground floor level through to level three fronting the
Murray Street Mall, adjacent to the Commonwealth Bank building;
• realignment of the northern station entry to front Globe Court;
• the redesign of the entry to the office lobby and the basement car park fronting
William Street;
• the redesign of the William Street and the Murray Street Mall facades of the bar
over the station entry to incorporate both fixed glazing and operable louvers.
Canopies have also been incorporated to this section of the development over
the footpath.
The applicants are now seeking the Design Advisory Committee’s feedback prior to
lodgement of a formal development application on a proposal to delete the originally
approved three storey link building fronting Wellington Street between the State
Registered Globe Hotel and Wellington Buildings. In its place it is now intended to
provide a public park linking through to Globe Court. The park is intended to be
landscaped and provided with alfresco seating. A presentation will be given to the
Design Advisory Committee by the applicants further outlining details of the proposal.
Particular consideration is requested to be given to the impact of the proposed park
on the streetscape and the adjoining heritage buildings, the value of a park in this
location and potential security and safety issues. Any impact on bonus plot ratio
previously awarded to the development also needs to be addressed.
It was therefore recommended that the Design Advisory Committee considers a
preliminary proposal to delete the link building fronting Wellington Street and to
replace it with a public park as an amendment to the mixed commercial development
at 140 (Lots 1-8, 400-404, 123 and V17) William Street, Perth.
