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.

Lot 6 is currently identified for future industrial development however this has not occurred in the past 25 years.

Through the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Sub-Regional Strategy, the State government identified the land as being suitable for future residential development due to its proximity to existing residential land and the lack of demand for industrial uses.

As Lot 6 has been identified for future residential development, a structure plan is required to guide the future design of the area.
