On 14 July 2025, the State Government announced plans to establish 34 social homes on the corner of East Street and Canning Highway.

The development is planned to include 19 one-bedroom and 15 two-bedroom dwellings.

The project will be delivered by Foundation Housing WA with oversight and assistance from DevelopmentWA. 

Foundation Housing will undertake formal community consultation as part of the planning approvals process to ensure local voices help shape the future of this development.
