About us

The Town of Bassendean is a small local government that sits along the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River) on the traditional lands of the Whadjuk Noongar people.

We employ around 150 staff in diverse teams of dedicated people who are committed to delivering a wide range of services to our community.

We maintain strong connections to our residents and strive to build a strong, liveable community for now and for the future.

Although we are small in size, we are big in heart, connectedness and collaboration.
