Advocacy
The Town of Bassendean is committed to advocating for a range of projects that are important to our community. These projects focus on critical areas such as economic development, social advancement, and legislative improvements. By identifying gaps in services, programs, and infrastructure, the Town seeks to develop sustainable solutions and work with decision-makers to secure the necessary support and funding. Each year, the Town prioritises its advocacy efforts to align with broader strategic goals and ensure that our community's needs are met both now, and in the future. The Town's approach to advocacy is outlined in the Advocacy Policy.

Bassendean Oval Redevelopment Project
At the December 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting, Town of Bassendean Council endorsed a revised Concept Masterplan for the redevelopment of Bassendean Oval, marking a key step in the precinct's future transformation. The plan reflects extensive community consultation, with 1,144 survey responses, workshops, and submissions shaping the final design.
Key updates include removing two proposed residential buildings on the eastern side, relocating potential residential developments to the northern end, and repositioning the footbridge to minimise potential impacts to private properties. These changes balance community feedback with long-term planning objectives.
