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 Treeby Calleya Estate Structure Plan within Development Area 37 (Treeby), as this Structure Plan is 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, especially in new, green-field 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 172 aims to rationalise parts of Development Area 37 north of Armadale Road and south of Solomon Road and Jandakot Road (refer to the map in the Document Library).

The amendment includes:

• Rezoning various lots within ‘Development Area 37’ from ‘Development’ to ‘Residential (R25)’, ‘Residential (R40)’ and ‘Residential (R80)’, ‘as depicted on the Scheme Amendment Map.
• Reducing the extent of the 'Development Area 37' special control area boundary, as depicted on the Scheme Amendment Map.

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.
