The Western Australian Government is aiming to fill an aged care gap, unlocking a significant development opportunity in the suburb of Lockridge with a 16,692 square metre infill site.
The site at 45 Kerwin Way has been rezoned to Special Use Zone 29 under the City of Swan Local Planning Scheme 17, which specifically supports the development of a residential aged care facility and/or independent living complex.
This targeted land release responds to an identified gap in aged care accommodation in the area and delivers on a previous election commitment to release surplus Crown land for aged care purposes. Registrations of Interest (ROI) are open until Tuesday, 1 July 2025.
As part of the ROI process, interested proponents will be asked to outline their development vision, commercial terms, delivery capability and relevant experience.
Western Australian Minister for Planning and Lands, John Carey, said that this release highlights the government’s strategic approach to infill development and commitment to creating more age-friendly communities across Perth’s growing north-eastern corridor.
“This is about using the state’s land assets to unlock well-located land to support high-quality, age-appropriate housing options for older Western Australians,” Carey said.
“The State Government is doing everything it can to increase the supply of diverse housing choices through targeted infill opportunities like this one.”
