Project Update - November 2021

The Minister for Transport and Planning, Rita Saffioti MLA, on 29 March 2019, formally refused to grant final approval to the upcoding proposal of the Lakes Revitalisation Strategy . As such, no increase to residential density “R-codes” will be applied to the Lakes area.

The City is therefore looking at the City’s housing needs into the future as part of a draft Local Planning Strategy, which includes an assessment of residential infill needs and opportunities. At this stage the draft Local Planning Strategy is awaiting the certification of the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) prior to advertising, and comprehensive community consultation will be undertaken once this has occurred.
