'''Hazelmere''' is a suburb of [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]], {{convert|14|km|0}} east of the [[Perth central business district]], in the [[City of Swan]]. Bordered by [[Roe Highway]] to the east, and the [[Great Eastern Highway Bypass]] to the south, Hazelmere is at the northern edge of [[Perth Airport]] land.

==History==
Hazelmere is part of the Woodbridge land grant given to [[Captain James Stirling]] in 1829.<ref name=landinfo>{{LandInfo WA|m|H|2008-02-23}}</ref> When a Guildford auctioneer bought the land in 1883, he subdivided the property into smaller lots, and one was named Hazelmere after the English town of [[Haslemere]] near [[Guildford]], [[Surrey]].<ref name=landinfo/>

Formerly an extensive rural buffer between Midland and the airport it now consists of a mix of residential land at the Guildford end, rural land in the center and industrial land to the east.

==Bushmead rifle range==
The former Commonwealth-owned land of the Bushmead [[rifle range]] that bordered on the formation of the former [[Upper Darling Range railway]] was sold in 2010 to property developer Cedar Woods Properties Limited{{snd}}more specifically its subsidy Dunlan Property Pty Ltd, and excised as the new suburb [[Bushmead, Western Australia|Bushmead]].{{efn |The {{convert|273|ha|adj=on}} site was sold by the [[Defence Australia|Department of Defence]] on behalf of the [[Commonwealth of Australia]] via a public tender process to Cedar Woods' wholly owned subsidiary Dunland Property Pty Ltd for {{AUD|18{{nbsp}}million}}, which equates to {{AUD|6.59}} per square metre. Once developed, residential land may be expected to sell at around {{AUD|500,000}} per 700-square-metre block, equating to {{AUD|714.29}} per square metre. Settlement was in July 2010.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cedar Woods Acquires Key Development Site |date=2010-05-14 |website=Australian Stock Exchange |url=https://announcements.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20100514/pdf/31qbw9ybwlp8y3.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241217070218/https://announcements.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20100514/pdf/31qbw9ybwlp8y3.pdf |archive-date=2024-12-17 |access-date=2024-12-17 }}</ref>}}

==Rezoning of residential areas==
The strategic location of the residential lots in Hazelmere is considered by the City of Swan to be appropriate for higher density housing, and as a result a number of lots are currently{{when|date=July 2019}} under consideration for increased zoning. The rezoning of lots to the upper coding of R25 or R35 is considered appropriate due to the location of the Hazelmere lots that are located between {{convert|1|and|1.5|km}} from the [[Woodbridge railway station, Perth|Woodbridge]] and [[East Guildford railway station|East Guildford]] railway stations, and are within {{convert|2|km}} of the strategic metropolitan centre of [[Midland, Western Australia|Midland]].<ref>Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 September 2013 'Final Adoption LPS 17 Scheme Amendment 93 - Hazelmere Village Precinct'.

The location of the lots that are proposed to be rezoned include the area generally bounded by Bushmead Road, Stirling Crescent, Eric Street and Wingate Avenue. Also included are lots on the east side of Wingate Avenue, lots fronting Mary Street and Anthea Street and the freight rail line to the west. The City of Swan have prepared two maps that show the current and proposed zoning respectively.<ref>Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 September 2013 'Final Adoption LPS 17 Scheme Amendment 93 - Hazelmere Village Precinct'.
