Background

The City of Cockburn has received a proposal for a Structure Plan for land located at Lot 5131 Jandakot Road, Treeby. 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. Once approved, this structure plan will enable the landowner to subdivide and develop lots consistent with the principles of the document.

The document itself includes appendices in support of the proposal, including reports on Water Management, Environmental Management, Transport and Landscaping Design. These documents will be assessed by the City's Technical Officers and can be viewed in the document library.

This Structure Plan proposes:

• A base residential coding of R30, with provision for R40 development in particular locations, providing for an estimated 400 residential lots;
• A road movement network that is responsive to the shape and attributes of the site and provides a defined interface to abutting Bush Forever sites;
• Provision for a direct connection of the main north-south road into the existing Torwood Avenue roundabout;
• 3.2 hectares of public open space, providing local-level recreational opportunities for residents;
• A servicing and drainage strategy to ensure development can be provided with essential infrastructure; and
• Provision for the planned realignment of Jandakot Road, where it abuts the site.

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.
