The Bentley Redevelopment Project is a significant urban renewal project delivered by DevelopmentWA.
The project is designed to breathe new life into the area by delivering a diverse range of housing options, as well as parklands and community amenities.

The project site is generally bounded by Walpole Street to the North, Manning Road to the South, Pollock Street and Bentley Primary School to the East, and Dumond Street to the West.

The Draft Master Plan for the Bentley Redevelopment Project is the first step towards the transformation of Bentley . Informed by more than a decade of community feedback, the Draft Master Plan provides a road map for delivering on the vision for the project and will guide future redevelopment of the site over the next 10-15 years.

A redevelopment area defines where DevelopmentWA can direct, oversee and enable land revitalisation. DevelopmentWA creates planning schemes, design guidelines, and policies and assesses development applications to deliver on the redevelopment objectives and the State Government’s vision for a revitalised Perth.

The Bentley Redevelopment Area was created by the State Government on 2 May 2024. This planning framework enables DevelopmentWA, to manage all aspects of the project’s delivery, communication and regulation.

This will help to ensure the timely and efficient delivery of the project, and reflects the project's status as a priority for the State Government.

The Bentley Redevelopment Scheme is the new planning framework under which Bentley will be developed. The draft Scheme is available on DevelopmentWA’s planning page or on this webpage under the 'Document Library' . The Scheme includes details on how to make a comment.

Stage 1 is the first phase of the redevelopment project, focusing on the land subdivision of the area. As part of Stage 1, we are proposing a diverse range of housing options and public open spaces to create and accommodate the diverse needs of all community members, as well as and improving the amenity and value of surrounding residential areas.

The 46 residential lots are parcels of land intended for future housing. These lots will vary in size and will be available for sale to developers, builders, or individuals interested in constructing homes.
The two development sites are larger parcels of land intended for future projects, which may include grouped housing.

Delivering future homes for Western Australians is a priority for the State Government, which is why DevelopmentWA is working to expedite the first stage of development ahead of the finalised Master Plan.

Yes. The Bentley Redevelopment Project is part of the State Government's $3.2 billion commitment to improve housing and homeless services, which includes the delivery of nearly 5,000 social housing dwellings for the state’s most vulnerable over four years.

The large-scale apartment model of the 1960s (e.g. Brownlie Towers) is not proposed. However, we are looking to provide up to 1:7 social housing within the precinct. This will include predominantly single bedroom dwellings in response to the greatest level of demand identified by the Department of Communities.

The exact number and location of social housing will be determined with the Department of Communities as the project progresses.

The exact number of dwellings will be finalised as part of the Master Planning process, however it is anticipated that the project will deliver approximately 800 to 1,000 dwellings.

The redevelopment will feature a diverse range of housing options, including potential apartment developments of between two and six storeys.

Construction works are required before any land or housing is available for sale in Stage One. Works are expected to be completed at the end of 2025.
