The St Andrews project is on the verge of an exciting new phase.

The District Structure Plan (DSP) for this community was approved at the City’s Council meeting on Tuesday, August 7.

The Council will now set an advertising period to invite public comment.

At full ‘build out’ St Andrews will accommodate approximately 66,000 dwellings and around 155,000 people, making it the largest single project of its type in the country.

The project also has the potential to accommodate up to 55,000 new jobs, which will increase the employment self-sufficiency level in the north-west metropolitan corridor.

Japanese conglomerate Tokyu Corporation and its Australian subsidiary Yanchep Sun City Pty Ltd signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with the Western Australian Government today.

The Strategic Cooperation Agreement paves the way for Tokyu to begin feasibility to develop its 5000 hectare land holding in the St Andrews Region that surrounds the townships of Yanchep and Two Rocks, 50 kilometres north of Perth city.
