Future Development
Eglinton is experiencing moderate infill and greenfield residential development pressure as a satellite suburb within the Serpentine-Jarrahdale Shire, driven by Perth's southern sprawl and improving regional transport links via Tonkin Highway. Key activity centres on local centre intensification, residential subdivision approvals on the urban fringe, and supporting education and transport infrastructure. Development intensity is moderate compared to closer-in southern Perth suburbs, reflecting its semi-rural character and distance from the CBD.
