Developer Blackburne has lodged a development application for a Scarborough apartment project valued at $90 million.
The proposal targets Scarborough, the beachside suburb northwest of Perth’s central business district, and represents one of several large-scale residential plans being brought forward in the coastal strip.
The submission now moves into the planning system, where it will be assessed by the relevant planning authority and undergo any required public consultation and technical reviews.
Major residential projects in Western Australia typically face assessments that cover design, traffic, environmental and amenity impacts, and this application is expected to follow that same pathway.
If the development proceeds, its construction phase could support local trades and suppliers, as projects of this size usually require substantial labour and materials over multiple months.
The proposal will also increase the local housing supply in a suburb that has seen renewed developer interest in recent years, particularly for apartment-style living close to the coast.
Neighbouring residents and businesses can expect the statutory consultation period to outline any likely on-site impacts such as construction traffic, staging and temporary amenity effects, with submissions able to influence final conditions.
Timing for a decision will depend on the complexity of the plans and any referrals required; major applications commonly take several months to progress through assessment and approvals.
The next formal step is the planning authority’s public notification and technical review process, after which any approvals, conditions or requests for amendment will be issued publicly as part of the record.
