  In July 2020, the City of South Perth Council adopted the City’s Local Planning Strategy, the first step to establishing a plan to accommodate our growing City.
  
  Previously the Council had asked for public comments on the Strategy, receiving 282 detailed responses. The feedback from the community resulted in Council making a number of changes to the Strategy before it was submitted to the WA Planning Commission (WAPC).
  
  The Strategy was sent to the WAPC for final approval, which was granted in February 2021.
  
  The Strategy will guide planning decision making over the next 10 to 15 years and provide the City with a high level strategic framework as it moves towards drafting of Local Planning Scheme 7.
  
  The Local Planning Strategy document has now been updated, in line with the modifications required by the WAPC and is available for download via the City's website.

  Following extensive community engagement, review and consideration of your comments, the Draft Local Planning Strategy has been adopted by Council. The Draft Local Planning Strategy is the first step to establishing a plan to accommodate future growth in our growing City. The Draft Local Planning Strategy will now set the framework to prepare a new Local Planning Scheme 7.

  A number of modifications to the Draft Local Planning Strategy were made to address feedback received from the community, including;

  • Measures to ensure the height of future buildings respect existing character;
  • Changes to the distribution of future density codings to assist in built-form transition nearby to Canning Highway and Manning Road;
  • That future supermarkets should be of an appropriate size for each neighbourhood;
  • Modifications to improve the clarity and provide certainty for some of the strategy actions.

  The Draft Local Planning Strategy will now be forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission for final approval. The City would like to thank all those who made a submission, and provided comment on the Draft Local Planning Strategy that has helped shape its final form.

  Minutes of the Council Meeting are available for download via the Document Library.

  The Draft Local Planning Strategy was due to be considered at the March round of Council meetings. The item was withdrawn from the Agenda and the matter was not considered at the March meeting.
  
  The item was withdrawn due the number of people indicating their intention to attend the meeting and in the interest of public safety.
  
  You can still download a copy of the Agenda item (which includes the Draft Local Planning Strategy report) via the website.
  
  To provide the opportunity for all interested parties to make deputations and listen to debate in relation to this item, Council will consider the Draft Strategy at a future meeting. If you have not already, please register for updates so we can keep you informed of the future meeting date.
  
  The safety and wellbeing of the community is paramount and we are proactively working on a range of matters relating to our business to ensure safe, transparent access to Council decision making.
  
  The Draft Local Planning Strategy is the first step in a wider review into the City’s planning framework. It considers a range of factors affecting future planning. We hope over the coming months to work with all stakeholders to consider these factors in detail.

  The comment period for the Draft Local Planning Strategy is now closed.

  At its September 2018 meeting, Council endorsed the Draft Local Planning Strategy and forwarded it to the State Government for certification. The certification has now been provided and the comment period is now open.

  The draft Strategy makes a series of plans, including:

  • A plan for where and how new housing will be accommodated. By 2031, the City is forecast to grow by around 10,200 people who will be accommodated in approximately 4,700 new dwellings. The Draft Local Planning Strategy recommends concentrating growth to key nodes, known as activity centres, and along roads with good transport connectivity, known as urban corridors where access to services, employment and transport is highest. A map showing these areas is on page 9 of the Summary Document.
  • A direction for managing the City’s transport network moving forward including growing the City’s cycling network and supporting expanded public transport services including bus, ferry and rail
  • Investigation of how to best deliver new public infrastructure, such as enhanced parklands, community spaces and facilities, and upgraded streets.
  • A plan for conserving our social and environmental values, including heritage places, urban tree canopy, and improving the design of new buildings.

  In total the Draft Local Planning Strategy proposes over fifty actions to help shape the future planning of the City.
