 Bayswater is now mostly developed, with little opportunity for future developments, but there is a large piece of industrial land on the eastern side of Tonkin Highway that is going to be developed, and there is currently a housing development approved on the Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary, which there is a debate about between residents and the Western Australian Planning Commission.The suburb Bayswater was named after a subdivision of a land parcel centred on what is now King William Street / Coode Street.The estate was named "Bayswater" when the lots were first advertised for sale by Feinberg and Rogers auctioneers on 4 July 1885.
