Draft Scheme Amendment No. 59

This amendment has now been gazetted and forms part of Town Planning Scheme No. 6. The amendment text as gazetted can be viewed in the document library on the right hand side of this page.

The City of South Perth is conducting formal community consultation for a proposed amendment to the City of South Perth Town Planning Scheme No. 6. The City is seeking your feedback to help refine the proposed amendment and decide whether to recommend to the Western Australian Planning Commission to adopt the changes into the town planning scheme. The area to which this amendment applies is shown on the map below.

The purpose of the amendment is to increase the residential density code of the properties within the scheme amendment area from R20 to R60 and to introduce built form and access requirements including increased height (up to three storeys), setback controls, building orientation and preferred land uses.

Vehicular access to Manning Road is restricted for all new developments due to State Government requirements. The amendment allows for alternative access arrangements to be provided either from a proposed new rear laneway that will be constructed by the City, or through adjoining properties by way of amalgamation or other arrangements. These changes will be made through an amendment to the Scheme Text and by creation of a Local Development Plan. Further details can be found in the Amendment Summary document in the document library.
