The Town of Cambridge is a Local Government Area in the inner western suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of Perth's central business district and extending to the Indian Ocean at City Beach. The Town covers an area of 22.0 square kilometres (8.5 sq mi) and has a population of about 25,000 (2006). It was originally part of the City of Perth before the restructuring by the Western Australian State Government in 1994.

Historically the area was part of the Nedlands municipality, gazetted in 1901, which was absorbed into the City of Perth in 1915 after becoming unsustainable as an autonomous political entity. In 1993 the Government of Western Australia decided to split up the Local Government Area(LGA) of the City of Perth, creating three additional LGA's and retaining a smaller City of Perth. The new LGA's were Town of Vincent, Town of Cambridge and the Town of Victoria Park.[1]

Cambridge features 8 parks and reserves.[2] The Town has two major reserves, Lake Monger and Perry Lakes, as well as 4.8 km of coastline, including City Beach and Floreat Beach and their respective parks, and the nearby dunes.

The city has been divided into 2 wards, each of 4 councillors.

  • Coast Ward
  • Wembley Ward
