The Guildford-Hazelmere local area is an area of heritage, natural values and opportunity. It includes significant sites belonging to the oldest living culture on earth and some of the best examples of post-colonial heritage in WA.

The area features the foreshore environments of the Swan and Helena rivers, parks and reserves rich in biodiversity, and streets and gardens lined with established trees contributing to the urban forest.

The area includes the established suburbs of Guildford and Hazelmere, the growing suburb of South Guildford, the younger suburb of Bushmead, and parts of Perth Airport.

It is strategically located at the gateway to the Swan Valley, Helena Valley, the hills and beyond via West Swan Road, Great Eastern Highway Bypass and Roe Highway. The area is well-connected to Midland and Perth CBD by the Midland Railway Line or via Guildford Road and Great Eastern Highway.

The Guildford - Hazelmere Local Area Plan

Local area planning involves consultation between community members and the City, identifying issues and prioritising the needs of their local area.

Local Area Plans (LAPS) provide the opportunity to recognise the character and needs of our diverse communities, and consolidate current or planned strategies and actions to address these.

Read your Local Area Plan

The plan highlights the priorities of the community identified during the consultation period. It also creates a roadmap for the City to plan for and deliver outcomes that meet the aspirations and needs of the community.

Local area priorities

The engagement plan involved a range of workshops and events to encourage all community members to have their say and review the future priorities for the local area.
