| The Armadale Redevelopment Authority (ARA) was established under the Armadale Redevelopment Act 2001 and began operations on 23 March 2002. Its' task is to plan, undertake, promote and coordinate the development and redevelopment of land in the ARA redevelopment areas.
The ARA has the power to deal in land and other assets, and to undertake works in the redevelopment areas.
The Redevelopment Scheme contains the statutory planning provisions for the redevelopment areas.
The revitalisation of Armadale-Kelmscott is one of Western Australia’s largest and most ambitious urban renewal projects.

The ARA’s vision for the redevelopment of Armadale is to establish a physical, social and environmental framework that will enable Armadale to build on its existing strengths and assets and develop the vibrant, multi-dimensional place of civic, cultural and economic significance that a Strategic Regional Centre should be.
The redevelopment will draw on and accentuate the points of difference that give Armadale its unique beauty, character and identity, and will deliver an outstanding example of sustainable urban development.
