The WA Planning Commission (WAPC) approved South Link Investments Pty Ltd’s mixed-use development at 86–90 Mill Point Road, South Perth, on 5 May 2022. The current WAPC record lists 175 apartments alongside café/restaurant, office and small-bar uses, and records a 2025 extension setting 16 May 2028 as the substantial commencement deadline. That deadline is not confirmation that construction has begun.
What the WAPC approved
The WAPC’s application record describes a proposal for 175 apartments, a café/restaurant, offices and a small bar. The approval applies to South Link Investments Pty Ltd’s site at 86–90 Mill Point Road. WAPC application record

Height and shared facilities described in 2022 coverage
PerthNow’s report on the decision described the building as 36 storeys and more than 125 metres tall, with a three-storey podium. It reported a ground-level restaurant, office and small bar, as well as proposed communal facilities including a gym, swimming pool, games room, theatre and outdoor entertaining area. These details come from the contemporaneous report, rather than the brief current summary on the WAPC record. PerthNow’s 2022 report

Approval date and commencement deadline
The WAPC record says the application was approved at the Commission’s meeting on 5 May 2022. It also records a later determination, dated 28 August 2025, extending the substantial commencement period to 16 May 2028. This is an extension of the deadline for substantial commencement, not evidence that work is underway or that the development has been completed. WAPC application record
The sources available for this status do not establish whether construction has started or whether the approved scheme has changed since the extension. The reliable conclusion is limited to what the record confirms: approval in 2022 and an extended deadline in 2025.

The West Australian characterized the rise from the initial $150 million estimate to the 2025 figure above $293 million as an increase of $143 million. In the same report, it reproduced a 25 August 2025 project letter statement from PTS Town Planning: “The project is now becoming viable, not as a result of the reduced construction costs, but as a result of improved revenue from increased apartment value.” The statement is attributed to the planning firm, not to a named individual.
