WA Fire and Emergency Services Authority incident controller Gary Kennedy told a meeting of affected residents this evening that Clifton Hills residents would be allowed to return to their homes tonight.
Other residents could face longer delays as the still-unpredictable blaze burns.
Authorities also believe the fire is contained and the wind that was playing havoc with firefighters' ability to tackle the blaze, is now working in their favour.
At least 59 properties have been destroyed in a toll authorities believe could go higher.
