City of Stirling Corporate Business Plan

Informing strategies and plans: Local Planning Strategy

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 current and future local planning schemes, as well as guide and manage future development in the City. The Local Planning Strategy is a high-level statutory document and provides a link between state and regional strategic planning policies. It is primarily implemented through the City’s Local Planning Scheme No. 3 and its instruments.

As a requirement of the Planning and Development Act 2005 , the Local Planning Strategy seeks to respond to the goals or 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 consider all issues facing the City, including land use planning, built form, environment and transport. They also consider how the City can best represent local community values while planning for growth. To help achieve these objectives, the Local Planning Strategy focuses on: • Planning for most population growth to occur along transport corridors and around activity centres • Making way for the development of the Stirling City Centre, to deliver Perth’s second central business district

• Zoning land appropriately to ensure the ongoing economic development of the City • Facilitating the transition from retail-focused centres to diverse mixed-use activity centres • 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 endorsed by the Western Australian Planning Commission on 25 October 2019.
