Local Planning Strategy

Project background

The Local Planning Strategy (the Strategy) is one of the key guiding documents for the growth of Perth city over the next 10-15 years. It will provide the strategic basis for the preparation of the City of Perth’s new Local Planning Scheme No.3 and planning policies.

A Local Planning Strategy is a legislative prerequisite for preparing the City’s future Local Planning Scheme No.3 which will replace the City’s existing City Planning Scheme No. 2 along with City of Subiaco’s TPS No.4 and City of Nedland’s TPS No.2. The City must prepare a Local Planning Strategy to provide the strategic basis for the future Local Planning Scheme No.3.

The Strategy will support the City in fulfilling its role to recognise, promote and enhance the social, environmental, economic and cultural setting of the city for the community, both now and into the future.

In January 2022 the Strategy was approved by the Commission for public advertising. Advertising commenced on 27 January 2022 and concluded on 25 March 2022. The consultation period was extended (due to a request from submitters) from the initial closing date of 10 March 2022, with approval from the Commission.

The content of submissions has been considered, analysed and where necessary modifications have been made to the Strategy in response to submissions received.

The Strategy was endorsed by Council without modifications at the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 13 December 2022. In accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, the Strategy has been forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission for final endorsement.
