Harbour Hillarys

Locus Property is proud to announce the second stage to the Harbour developments with the landmark mixed-use development, now proudly named Harbour Hillarys, located on the corner of West Coast Highway and Hepburn Avenue, Hillarys, receiving Development Approval this morning.

The approval follows the submission of a Development Application in December 2025 under the Part 11B Significant Development Pathway. This pathway is reserved for projects of strategic importance that deliver meaningful economic, social and urban development outcomes for Western Australia.

Harbour Hillarys has been approved for two residential buildings of eight and eleven storeys comprising 87 premium residences, including one, two and three-bedroom apartments as well as a collection of expansive penthouses. The development will also feature a vibrant ground-floor retail and commercial offering, including a café, food and beverage venues, a liquor store, a full-line grocery store and associated public realm improvements, landscaping and resident parking.

Designed by Tim Boekhoorn and the award-winning team at Hames Sharley, Harbour Hillarys represents the second stage of the broader Hillarys Gateway vision, following the successful market launch and sales campaign of Harbour Sorrento. Together, the two developments are creating a contemporary residential, retail and commercial destination that will strengthen the connection between the surrounding community and Hillarys Boat Harbour.

Damian Long, Director of Locus Property has said “the approval is the culmination of an extensive design and consultation process undertaken in collaboration with the State Design Review Panel, SDAU and key stakeholders. Through this process, the project has evolved to deliver a built form that responds sensitively to its prominent coastal location while maximising resident amenity and contributing positively to the public realm”.

The architectural design has been carefully crafted to optimise ocean views, natural light penetration and cross-ventilation throughout the residences. Building massing, setbacks, screening elements and landscaped buffers have been thoughtfully integrated to minimise impacts on surrounding properties while enhancing the pedestrian experience at ground level. A palette of high-quality coastal-inspired materials, articulated façades and generous landscaping will ensure the development is both contemporary and enduring, reflecting the character of the Hillarys coastline.

Beyond delivering high-quality housing in a sought-after location, Harbour Hillarys will contribute to the ongoing revitalisation of the precinct by introducing new retail services, creating employment opportunities during construction and operation, and supporting increased activity for surrounding businesses. The inclusion of a major grocery offering and complementary commercial uses will provide greater convenience for local residents and visitors, further enhancing the area’s appeal as a vibrant mixed-use destination.

Harbour Hillarys is envisioned as an elegant and identifiable landmark that will help define the northern gateway to Hillarys Boat Harbour. The project reflects a long-term commitment to creating places that celebrate coastal living, encourage community connection and deliver lasting value for residents, businesses and the broader region.

Damian continues to say that “together, Harbour Sorrento and Harbour Hillarys represent a transformational investment in the future of Hillarys, establishing a connected residential, commercial and retail precinct that will provide future residents with a premium lifestyle destination on Perth’s coastline”.

Locus Property would like to acknowledge and thank the project team, including Tim Dawkins and the team from Urbis, Hames Sharley, Plan E, Talis and Shawmac, for their expertise and collaboration in achieving this important approval.
