The Western Australian Planning Commission has released the Draft Operational Policy 2.3 – Planning for Public Open Space for public comment, intended to replace Development Control Policy 2.3 – Public Open Space in Residential Areas.
The Draft Operational Policy 2.3 – Planning for Public Open Space is set to reform planning for public open space with a simpler assessment process and more fairness and clarity around calculating funding contributions for anyone wanting to subdivide land.
The draft policy addresses contemporary planning and funding considerations around the extra public open space facilities that are needed when new lots are created in an area.
It proposes a streamlined planning approach and much needed guidance on contributions from new infill lots in established areas.
