A significant step forward for Curtin Heritage’s proposed riverfront community at Mosman Park.
A new chapter has begun for Monument Bay, with Curtin Heritage officially taking handover of the former Rocky Bay site at 60 McCabe Street, Mosman Park.
Rocky Bay CFO Mark Kolinac, on behalf of CEO Michael Tait, formally handed the keys to Curtin Heritage Managing Director David Cox, marking the next stage in the partnership between the two Western Australian organisations.
For Rocky Bay, the site carries more than two decades of history and significance. Its sale also creates an opportunity for the organisation to continue investing in the services and supports it provides to people living with disability.
“Today’s Mosman Park key handover is the beginning of an exciting new chapter,” says Mark. “While this site has a long connection to Rocky Bay, we are proud to see it pass to an organisation that will continue creating value for the community.”
For Curtin Heritage, the handover marks an important milestone in the progression of Monument Bay — a proposed 30,000-square-metre riverfront precinct envisioned as a connected place for people of different ages and abilities.
The masterplan proposes a mix of accommodation, public open spaces, community facilities and complementary commercial spaces, alongside services designed to support older people and the wider community.
Rather than a single-purpose development, the vision is for a place where people can live, connect and participate — bringing together different generations, needs and experiences in one riverside setting.
Cox Architecture has been appointed masterplan architect, with Urbis as town planner.
“This development provides an opportunity for both Curtin Heritage and Rocky Bay to expand the services and experiences we offer to the community,” says David, “creating greater opportunities for people to connect, participate and access the support and services they need.”
The handover is an important moment in the evolution of Monument Bay, but it is also about what comes next: transforming a site with a significant history into a future-focused community asset.
For Rocky Bay, it is an opportunity to reinvest in its customers. For Curtin Heritage, it is another step towards a new model of community living — one designed around connection, choice and belonging.
The next chapter of Monument Bay has officially begun.
