In 2020, the Town endorsed a local planning framework for the Burswood Station East precinct. The framework was created in consultation with the local community and outlines development objectives and public realm upgrades that will support the framework’s vision to transition the Burswood Station East from a light industrial area to a transit-oriented, mixed-use urban precinct.

Archer and Mint streets form a central roadway linking Orrong Road with Albany Highway and connecting people to the Carlisle Town Centre, Carlisle train station, East Victoria Park Primary School and East Victoria Park Town Centre. In the Town’s draft Local Planning Strategy, this corridor forms the western boundary of the Carlisle Station / Archer Street Precinct and connects to the Oats Street Precinct. These Precincts are defined as activated, transit-orientated and mixed-use areas that capitalise on their proximity to Perth and the Albany Highway Centre.

A State Government city-wide project with many facets – one being the removal of level crossings and the elevation of the rail line through Victoria Park and Canning – METRONET works are scheduled to begin in our Town in 2023 and will have impacts for commuters, as well as nearby residents and business owners.
