Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Consultation has concluded
The City is working on a new Local Planning Strategy that will guide how the City will manage growth and change in land use and development over the next 10 to 15 years. It will also guide the preparation of a new local planning scheme that will replace Town Planning Scheme No.3.
Council adopted a draft Local Planning Strategy at the 8 October 2020 meeting, and it was subsequently referred to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for certification/consent to advertise.
At their meeting on 14 June 2022, the WAPC Statutory Planning Committee (SPC) certified the Draft City of Cockburn Local Planning Strategy for advertising, subject to modifications.
The City has now made the modifications and is awaiting confirmation from the WAPC and finalising the engagement timeframes for the formal advertising of the project.
Progressing the Local Planning Strategy will involve the following steps:
Formal advertising of draft Local Planning Strategy, anticipated to be later this year
Consideration of submissions
Presentation of Local Planning Strategy to Council for support and referral to WAPC for final endorsement.
Progressing the Local Planning Strategy will involve the following steps:
2022 - Formal advertising of draft Local Planning Strategy (following WAPC certification/consent to advertise) - which will include extensive community and stakeholder engagement
Consideration of submissions
Presentation of Local Planning Strategy to Council for support and referral to WAPC for endorsement.
