Town of Cambridge Local Planning Strategy
The Town of Cambridge has recognised the need for smaller detached houses, grouped dwellings and apartments as a result of:
• A growing metropolitan population and desire to live and work close to services and employment, particularly within inner urban areas of Perth
• An ageing population which is increasingly looking to downsize from traditional family homes to more manageable housing options within the same location
• Decreasing affordability of housing, particularly in desirable locations with largely homogenous housing typologies.
Through a focus on infill development within the key strategic precincts outlined in the Town Planning Strategy the Town of Cambridge aims to increase housing stock and affordability for the existing and future community.
