Bassendean station precinct plan approved to support future housing growth - Bassendean, WA
Smart summary
A new planning framework for Bassendean and other Perth train station areas has been approved, aiming to create more housing opportunities close to public transport.
The Bassendean station precinct is part of a wider Western Australian Government plan to encourage more housing development around major train stations while improving access to public transport.
The approved Station Precincts Improvement Plan focuses on creating better-connected communities by supporting more homes near existing transport networks. The plan aims to increase housing supply while making better use of land around train stations.
Bassendean is one of Perth’s established suburbs with strong public transport links, including access to the Midland railway line. The area’s location makes it suitable for future development while maintaining connections to employment areas and community facilities.
The precinct planning approach is designed to balance growth with local character. Future projects are expected to consider community needs, infrastructure capacity, open spaces and improved pedestrian connections.
Local governments and planning authorities will continue working on detailed planning and community consultation as development opportunities progress.
The move comes as Perth experiences ongoing demand for additional housing, particularly in locations with easy access to public transport. Increasing housing options near stations is part of a broader strategy to create more sustainable urban growth.
Residents will continue to have opportunities to provide feedback on future developments and how changes may affect the Bassendean community.
