The West End Development is also undergoing a Secondary Plan process to identify potential land uses, which will include Institutional, Commercial, Residential and Recreational uses. The Master Plan will investigate infrastructure requirements associated with these potential land uses. Upon completion, the Master Plan will serve as a strategic document and identify infrastructure upgrades or expansions to support anticipated growth within the west end development area.

North Perth, June 2, 2026 – Mayor Todd Kasenberg has issued a Mayoral Directive under the Municipality's Strong Mayor Powers directing staff to undertake a North Perth Housing Acceleration Opportunity Scan aimed at identifying practical opportunities to increase housing supply - including housing that would be considered attainable and affordable - across North Perth.

The directive instructs staff to evaluate municipally-owned lands, lands owned by other public-sector organizations, and selected housing opportunity properties that may support future residential development, redevelopment, intensification, adaptive reuse, or innovative housing solutions.

The exercise is intended to create a practical roadmap of opportunities that can help North Perth address housing needs while supporting future growth, workforce attraction, economic development, and community well-being.
