Transform Mandurah is a program of projects that align to our 20-year Strategic Community Plan and are focused on long term economic diversification, revitalisation and community capacity building.
The projects are set to deliver short and long-term investment and employment opportunities with the goal of improving the education and employment opportunities for residents, and the overall quality of life for our community.
The City cannot do this alone and need public and private sector investment and support, as well as community support to help transform Mandurah for the future.
Below are some examples of projects being delivered, advocated for and supported by the City, State and Commonwealth Government and private developers.
The City Centre Master Plan & Parking Plan are documents which help to connect recent projects and existing strategic plans for the City Centre into an overarching vision.

Council selected a preferred Proponent in November 2022 and the City is now working through the details of the proposal and will provide an update when more information is available.
