The amendment proposes to transfer approximately 23.7 ha of land in Middle Swan from the Rural and Industrial zones to the Urban zone and Regional Open Space reserve in the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS).
Rationalisation of Bush Forever site 302 (addition of 0.14 ha, and removal of 0.14 ha) is also proposed.
The amendment defines the boundary between the Urban zone and the new Regional Open Space reservation for the Swan River foreshore. The proposed Urban zoning will allow for primarily residential subdivision following a local scheme amendment, detailed structure planning and subdivision approval.
The proposed amendment is to be progressed as a minor region scheme amendment under the former section 57 of the Planning and Development Act 2005 (the Act) as it does not constitute a substantial alteration to the region scheme and is generally consistent with the State and Strategic Planning Framework.
