What is a structure plan and why is it being proposed?

    A structure plan is a document that guides the future subdivision and development of an area of land. 

     A structure plan will typically show the proposed residential layout, densities, land uses and areas of public open space. They can be supported by a range of technical documents, such as bushfire management, flora and fauna surveys, water management strategies and landscape design plans.

     As the land has been identified for future urban development through the  Leeuwin-Naturaliste Sub-Regional Strategy(External link), and Amendment No. 60 proposes to rezone the land to ‘Urban Development’, a structure plan is required to guide the future design of the area. 

    How can I have my say?

    Submissions are open from Friday 27th March and can be made using the submission form provided on this page.

     Please note that if you wish to make a submission on the associated Scheme Amendment (AMD21/0060), a separate submission will need to be made through the dedicated Your Say page.

    How long will the process take?

    Following the end of the consultation period, the City will review all submissions and make a recommendation for either approval, refusal or approval with modifications.

     Following the recommendation, the final decision maker is the WAPC who will determine to either approve, refuse or approve with modifications.
