Thank you for your feedback

The City of Cockburn recently asked the community for feedback on our draft Local Planning Strategy, which sets our long-term vision for how land within Cockburn will be used and developed in the future.

This page attracted 3850 visits, and we received input from 241 people. Thank you to everyone who read the draft and provided feedback during last year's comment period between September and November.

What we did

The City has reviewed and considered all submissions and recommends changes to the draft Strategy. These changes consider the State Planning Framework alongside key findings from the feedback period.

The City will present the submissions, proposed changes, and its recommendations in a report to Council for consideration at the next Ordinary Meeting of Council.

This meeting commences 7pm on Thursday, 13 April 2023, at the City of Cockburn Council Chambers (9 Coleville Crescent, Spearwood). Read a copy of the report in the Meeting Agenda, available from Friday, 7 April, on the Agenda and Minutes section of the City of Cockburn website.

Anyone can attend the Ordinary Meeting of Council in person or online via live stream.

At the meeting, members of the public may ask questions or address a short deputation to Council, however you must lodge a request by 5pm the day before the meeting. To find out more visit the City’s website:

Next steps

After Council has decided to approve or amend the draft Strategy, the City will submit the Strategy and a copy of the submissions to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for consideration and final approval. Any further changes to the Strategy are at the discretion of the WAPC, who are the final decision maker. The City will publish the final Local Planning Strategy on the City of Cockburn website when available.
