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 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 had a population of almost 29,000 as of the 2021 Census.
It was originally part of the City of Perth before the restructuring by the Western Australian State Government in 1994.
In 1993, the Government of Western Australia decided to split up the local government area (LGA) of the City of Perth, creating three additional LGAs and retaining a smaller City of Perth.
This was the first time a local government in Western Australia successfully challenged ministerial authority to suspend a Council.
