The proposed three-storey housing project will be situated on an 11,000m² site at the corner of East Parade and Guildford Road, and will offer easy access to the local central business district and facilities.
The units will be constructed according to the Silver Livable Homes standard, and upon completion, Bethanie Housing will manage tenancy, maintenance, and placemaking services at the site.
A development application is expected to be formally submitted in early 2025.
WA’s planning and housing minister John Carey said: “This well-located site in Mount Lawley will offer and create an accessible and affordable housing project, constructed and operated by preferred proponent, Bethanie Housing Limited.

Meanwhile, the first stage of the redevelopment project of Roebourne District High School in WA is almost complete and is set to open ahead of schedule.
Woodside Energy has committed A$20m ($12.40m) to support the school’s next phase of construction, which will commence shortly.
The A$72.4m first-stage works, which started in June 2023, will welcome students at the beginning of the next term.
The upgraded facilities at the site so far include the primary school, language centre, multipurpose hall, administration building, student services, performing arts space, and more.
The final works being carried out include the science learning areas, library, car park, and landscaping, all of which are progressing well ahead of the anticipated project completion date of September 2026.
