The Municipality of East Fremantle was created in 1897, when it separated from the greater Fremantle area.
The Town has a population of approximately 7,860 and is 3.2 square kilometres in area It is bounded to the north and west by the Swan River, across which many properties enjoy expansive views.
The Town of East Fremantle has strongly resisted the push for infill development and encouraged the retention of the many heritage homes, gardens and streetscapes in the area.
Whilst the pressure from the State Planning Authorities to increase densities may ultimately prevail, in East Fremantle the community and families currently enjoy the standard of amenity of their forebears, with space for children to play and a sense of history and community unparalleled elsewhere.
