Place Management in Maylands
Maylands Town Centre Place Plan
The City has adopted a place management approach to improve our four major town centres: Bayswater, Maylands, Morley and Noranda.
As part of this, the City has a Place Manager who works closely with a mix of community and business groups, individual residents, landowners and businesses to improve their town centres. Results of this collaboration include place activation initiatives such as events, streetscape improvements, greening, heritage and cultural initiatives, and public art.
The City has created a plan for the Maylands Town Centre, detailing community priorities for this area:
Maylands Town Centre Place Plan
Maylands Town Centre Streetscape Masterplan
As part of its Maylands Road Improvements project, Main Roads WA completed a revitalisation planning study to develop a Maylands Town Centre Streetscape Masterplan that identifies potential road, path and streetscape upgrades for the Maylands town centre. This considered outcomes and feedback from the Main Roads community reference rroup and local stakeholders, including the City and Public Transport Authority.
The Maylands Town Centre Streetscape Masterplan is a long-term revitalisation framework developed following the closure of the Caledonian Avenue rail crossing and funded by the State Government to improve the amenity, accessibility and attractiveness of the Maylands town centre. Guided by Healthy Streets principles and informed by extensive community consultation, the plan proposes upgrades to Eighth Avenue, Whatley Crescent, Seventh Avenue, Guildford Road and surrounding areas. In July 2025, Council endorsed this Masterplan and supported the retention of traffic lights at the Caledonian Avenue and Whatley Crescent intersection. The Masterplan will also be considered for inclusion in future City advocacy initiatives to help secure funding and to progress implementation.
