Local Planning Strategy

• Integrating transport and land use planning within the City • Promoting choice, sustainability, high-quality design and sense of place within the built environment • Fostering optimum use and the benefits of existing and future infrastructure • Protecting the built and cultural heritage of the City. The Local Planning Strategy Map outlines strategic opportunities for current and future development. The Local Planning Strategy was supported by Council at its meeting on 18 September 2018 and it was forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission for endorsement on 3 October 2018. The Western Australian Planning Commission advised the City on 24 January 2019 that it required modifications to the Local Planning Strategy prior to its endorsement. The modifications are nearing completion and it is anticipated that the Local Planning Strategy will be finalised and returned to the Western Australian Planning Commission for endorsement shortly.

The City’s Local Planning Strategy provides a strategic guide for the future of development within the City. It is intended to provide the strategic basis for the current and future Local Planning Schemes, as well as guide and manage future development in the City. The Local Planning Strategy is a statutory document and provides a link between state and regional strategic planning policies and local interests.

To help achieve these objectives, the Local Planning Strategy focusses on: • Planning for most population growth to occur along transport corridors and around activity centres • Making way for the development

It is a requirement of the Planning and Development Act 2005 , and the Local Planning Strategy seeks to respond to the goals/targets identified in various state, regional and local planning documents. The objectives of the Local Planning Strategy and the Corporate Business Plan are aligned. The Local Planning Strategy objectives focus on land use planning, built form and how the City can best represent local community values while planning for growth.
