Circa transformed a former brickworks site into an inspiring mixed use urban environment incorporating commercial and retail uses as well as serviced apartments and a retirement village. The 4.8 hectare centre  complements and enhances the facilities of Norwest Business Park and the working and living environment of surrounding residential areas.

​

DEM developed the masterplan concept and established principles for the open space network of Circa. The development is focussed on a central plaza and commercial core activated by small scale retail, cafes, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues.  Additional amenities include cinemas, a function/conference centre, recreation facilities, gymnasium, child care centre and medical facilities. A surrounding commercial precinct comprises office buildings, technology and research centres and health facilities.  These uses are supported by a public realm that provides a network of pedestrian linkages, streets and civic open spaces as well as a high quality parkland setting.
