Lakeway is a 4.3 hectare residential development in the leafy coastal suburb of Swanbourne, eight kilometres west of Perth, Western Australia. The development sits on a wooded dunal escarpment, overlooking Lake Claremont. Its name references the site’s former use as the Lakeway Drive-In Theatre. The HASSELL design proposal for Lakeway had a strong sustainability agenda. It included setting aside a third of the site for bush regeneration, the creation of sensitive parkland interfaces with the adjoining school and residential area, as well as nature reserve. The heritage-sensitive design retained and rehabilitated large portions of valued bushland to provide an extensive high-quality parkland amenity.
