Consultation has concluded




The City of Fremantle has considered a proposed scheme amendment for Lot 200 (No. 119) Hope Street White Gum Valley.

In July 2018, Council resolved to initiate the amendment with some changes to the original proposal. The City subsequently undertook formal community advertising on the revised proposal between September and November 2018. The outcomes of this consultation were considered by Council in December 2018, who resolved to adopt the proposal subject to further modifications. The proposal was forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission for final assessment and a decision from the Minister for Planning and Transport. In July 2019, the scheme amendment was formally gazetted and now forms part of the City's Local Planning Scheme.


What would the potential amendment allow for?

The amendment would allow for more diverse housing to be provided on the site in White Gum Valley.

Where the development meets the requirements of the Residential Design Codes and additional development requirements relating to housing diversity, sustainability, open space, trees and landscaping, built form, car movement and parking, Council can consider:

  • Residential development up to a density of R60; and
  • Maximum building height of 2 storeys.
