1.1.2.6 Look for opportunities to attract large private enterprise and/or

The project to re-position Fremantle's overall product offering as it relates

to population-driven activities is underway. This involves working closely

with stakeholders to re-brand that product for identified target markets.

Population-driven activities are defined as those including shop retail,

hospitality and licensed venues, arts and culture, and personal services.

Part of this process will be working with major property owners and

leasing agents to identify areas of collaboration, and to develop a

collective vision for mini-precincts within Fremantle that can attract

specifically identified business clusters (e.g. High Street Mall becomes a

restaurant precinct, South Fremantle becomes a fashion precinct).

Workshop for major stakeholders on 23.09.2013 was well attended. The

output of that meeting is being used to develop a business attraction plan

and new strategic marketing plan for Fremantle (both are linked).
