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.
