Background

The City of Cockburn has received a proposal for a Structure Plan amendment for land located at Lot 305 Whadjuk Road and Lots 9042 & 9052 Wattleup Road, Hammond Park. Submissions on this proposal are invited from the community.

About this application

A Structure Plan coordinates the future development of land; what it will be developed for, and where infrastructure will go.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to facilitate future development of a neighbourhood shopping centre (including a supermarket), fast food outlets and specialty retail.

The proposed amendment to the Lots 114 and 123-125 Wattleup Road Hammond Park Structure Plan as seen in the Document Library, relates to land located at Lot 305 Whadjuk Drive and Lots 9042 and 9052 Wattleup Road, Hammond Park. The proposed amendment seeks to modify the existing Residential R30, R50 and R60 zoning and public open space, to a 'Local Centre R80' zoning across all three lots.

What will happen next?

After the comment period, the City's Technical Officers will make a recommendation for Council to consider. This recommendation takes into account a range of considerations, including planning guidelines and community feedback. Following a Council decision, the application will proceed to the State Government (Western Australian Planning Commission) for final determination on whether it should or should not proceed.
