This redevelopment will provide a safe and pleasant pedestrian environment with more landscaping, shade, rest stops, weather protection and footpaths for our community and visitors to enjoy.
Construction will commence early in 2022 with works planned and carried out in a way that maintains access to businesses, with the Central Mall staying open for business throughout construction.
In November 2021, the City of Kalamunda awarded BOS Civil to redevelop the Central Mall in Kalamunda.
The City engaged an experienced team of landscape architects, space planners and engineers led by PLACE Laboratory to undertake the Detailed Design and Tender Documentation for the Central Mall upgrade in the Kalamunda Town Centre.

10 August 2022 - works nearing completion
Works are nearing completion on the Central Mall in Kalamunda Town Centre, with the official re-opening date announced as 2 September 2022.
The Central Mall Project marks the start of the 10-year vision for the Kalamunda Town Centre coming to life. The vision of the Kalamunda Activity Centre Plan, is for Central Mall to become the heart of Kalamunda’s night-time economy, delivering an intimate and vibrant urban experience that supports both day and night-time activities in the centre.
Central Mall will become a precinct with a food and beverage focus and act as a counterpoint to the more traditional and heritage spaces of the Kalamunda town centre.
The precinct’s design will feature spaces for community to sit and enjoy with a vibrant line up of special events commencing from August 2022. We will also welcome the local and much loved Kalamunda Artisan Market, Kalamunda Farmers Market and the Kalamunda Night Market back into the Central Mall area. Don’t forget to take a look in the evening – the artist night lighting will be impressive.

The City is proud of the talent at our local schools, with the latest installation of fencing going up around Central Mall displaying their designs from one end of the mall to the other. Many visitors have been admiring the work, which is also displayed in the Kalamunda Shopping Centre and on nearby streets at floor stickers guide people into the Central Mall.
13 Apr 2022 – School holiday fun in the Central Mall

4 Apr 2022 – Work commences at Haynes Street end of Central Mall
The next section of work is underway at the Haynes Street end of the Central Mall, with BOS Civil commencing construction activities this week. The construction process will be similar to that in the first section outside the Shopping Centre entrance, with planning completion still on track for the whole project by mid-2022.
30 Mar 2022 – First section of Central Mall shopfronts have their paving complete
The team at BOS Civil are continuing to work hard at completing the first section of paving that reaches many of the Central Mall businesses’ front doors. This work started outside OPSM and continued up towards Mead Street end of the Mall, being complete at the end of the month. This new paving brings new life to those businesses with improved access and high quality finishes.
7 Mar 2022 – Unique paving design underway
It was exciting to see how the final product will look once the brick pavers started to be laid between shops, with the colours and style giving a clear indication of the level of quality we can expect to see when the transformation is complete mid year. The new paving material choices have been carefully selected and the zig zag patterns designed to stitch together the local destinations and create one cohesive space throughout the entire mall. Following the red lines, a person may find the entry to the garden, a bench, the next set of bins or the stairs to the park. The Zig Zag stitch transforms the central mall into unique and specific place for Kalamunda.
