The public comment period has closed. Thank you to everyone that was involved with this project and provided their feedback. The WA Planning Commission adopted a suite of modifications to the CBACP on 22 September 2020.

The Canning Bridge Activity Centre Plan (CBACP) is a guide for development in the precinct surrounding the Canning Bridge Station, on both sides of the Canning River. The CBACP was developed to support development of the precinct with a mix of office, retail, residential, recreational and cultural uses, maximising opportunities offered by its unique transport hub location.

Canning Bridge Activity Centre Plan Review

An extensive review of the land on the City of South Perth side of the river has been undertaken. Earlier this year we asked all stakeholders to share their experiences with the CBACP and aspirations for the area. The engagement process allowed extensive opportunity for everyone in the community to get involved and share their views. Over 230 submissions were received and close to 100 people attended information and feedback sessions as part of the consultation process. Some of the issues identified included the need for new buildings to respect existing streetscapes and character, privacy, light access and construction impacts.

As part of this project we established a Citizen Stakeholder Group (CSG) which was made up of a random and representative selection of stakeholders from the CBACP community. The CSG met twice to analyse the feedback and provide recommendations on how the CBACP could be improved.

A number of changes have been proposed to the CBACP that are the end result of the extensive engagement program. These modifications were presented to Council and endorsed for public comment in September 2019.

Formal Advertising

Advertising of the proposed modifications was undertaken between 30 October 2019 and 27 November 2019. Based on the feedback received, a number of minor modifications were made to further refine the proposed modifications. These were presented to Council for final consideration and endorsed at the February Ordinary Council Meeting.

Final Adoption

The WA Planning Commission adopted a suite of modifications to the CBACP on 22 September 2020.

    On 22 September 2020 the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) considered and approved modifications to the Canning Bridge Activity Centre Plan.

    These modifications expand on the modifications approved by Council in February 2020 to more closely align the requirements of the Plan to the R-Codes. The approved modifications have now been incorporated into the Plan and will apply to any new development proposed within the Canning Bridge Activity Centre.

    The City would like to thank all those who engaged with the City and provided feedback on this project over the last 18 months.

    This feedback period is now closed.

    An extensive review of the Canning Bridge Activity Centre Plan has been completed, and the City would now like feedback on the proposed changes to this Plan.

    Complete the online feedback form to comment on these recommendations, which include:

    • Introduction of provisions that require assessment of solar access, building depth, tree retention, deep soil areas and visual privacy
    • Greater side and rear setbacks for taller buildings and greater setbacks for podium structures within parts of the M10 zone
    • Greater flexibility on building height in the H4 zone to provide design flexibility and to help achieve greater building separation, solar access, building depth, tree retention, deep soil areas and visual privacy on development sites
    • Introduction of criteria relating to visitor parking ratios, waste collection, street interface along Canning Highway, dwelling mix and environmental sustainability.

    These recommended changes are the result of extensive engagement that included a wide-reaching review of previous submissions, community workshops, citizen stakeholder group workshops and community surveys.

    The Canning Bridge Activity Centre Plan (CBACP) has been in place for a number of years and is a guide for development in the precinct surrounding the Canning Bridge Station, on both sides of the Canning River. The current review relates to land on the City of South Perth side of the river only. The CBACP aims to support development of the precinct with a mix of office, retail, residential, recreational and cultural uses, maximising opportunities offered by its unique transport hub location.

    Feedback is open until 5pm, Wednesday 27 November 2019.

    Hard copy feedback forms are available at the City’s libraries and Civic Centre. Or come along to a pop-up information session:

    Registrations for the Citizen Stakeholder Group (CSG) and submissions for the review are now closed – thanks to everyone who provided feedback.

    Since February, the City has been talking to the community about your thoughts, ideas and expectations for the future of the Canning Bridge Activity Centre.

    Parking, traffic, over-shadowing and design requirements have been some of the common priorities discussed so far, with some insightful feedback provided from across the community.

    Developing the recommendations

    As part of this project we are establishing a Citizen Stakeholder Group (CSG) which will be made up of a random and representative selection of stakeholders from the CBACP community.

    The CSG will meet twice in May and will provide advice to Council on recommended amendments to the CBACP, based on the feedback received from stakeholders and the community.
