Background
The City of Cockburn is proposing to amend Town Planning Scheme No. 3.
This amendment involves adding the zones and reserves detailed in the South Beach Village Local Structure Plan within Development Area 16 (North Coogee) into the City's Town Planning Scheme as the Structure Plan is largely no longer needed. The City invites the community to provide feedback on this proposal.
About the amendment
Structure Plans are important tools for organising how land is divided and developed, including in formerly industrial areas. When a Structure Plan has done its job, its zones and reserves get transferred into the Town Planning Scheme, and the Structure Plan is revoked. This is called structure plan 'rationalisation,' and it helps the City keep control of development in line with what the community expects.
The City must advertise any proposed amendments, which include zonings that don't directly match the approved structure plan.
Scheme Amendment 177 seeks to rationalise part of Development Area 16 in North Coogee north of Rollinson Road (refer to the map in the Document Library).
Specifically, this Scheme Amendment seeks to replace the residential density code assigned to the land under the Structure Plan (R125, a density code not recognised in the Residential Design Codes), with the closest equivalent density code (R100), based on an assessment of the developed outcome on the ground.
The amendment includes:
- Rezoning Lot 30 (#59) Breaksea Drive within ‘Development Area 16’ from ‘Development’ to ‘Residential (R100)’.

What will happen next?
To guide the City's consideration of the proposed amendment, the City invites the community to submit comments. At the end of the comment period, the City reviews the feedback, alongside planning guidelines and policies, and submits a recommendation to Council. The Western Australian Planning Commission then reviews the proposal and Council's advice and makes a recommendation on final determination to the Minister for Planning.
