Scheme Amendment: Nos. 2 - 8 Harvest Road, North Fremantle

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Consultation has concluded

The City is considering a planning scheme amendment to allow for a mixture of local services and new residential development on Harvest Road, North Fremantle.


The amendment to the Local Planning Scheme would involve changing the zoning of Nos. 2 - 8 Harvest Road, North Fremantle, from 'Residential' to 'Mixed Use'. In addition, the creation of a laneway to the rear of the lots would be necessary to allow for formalised vehicle access to the lots.


The proposed change in zoning to 'Mixed Use' would allow a wider range of commercial uses at these lots, alongside medium-density (R60) residential dwellings. These residential dwellings would most likely take the form of ‘apartments’ or ‘town-houses’. Any change to the zoning of these lots would also require Council to introduce special development requirements to control the design of new buildings.


The map below provides an overview of the potential changes, with the proposed new 'Mixed Use' zone highlighted in pink and the new laneway outlined in yellow.

    At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Wednesday 27 February 2019,Council resolved to prepare a formal planning scheme amendment for the subject properties, subject to the following:

    a. Payment of the rezoning fee by the proponent;

    b. Requirement for a binding legal agreement in relation to the upgrades necessary for the rear laneway prior to the City formally supporting its dedication; and

    c. Confirmation of no ‘in principle’ objection to the laneway dedication and upgrade from Western Power given the location of their asset within the access way.


    Given this resolution, the City will now progress discussions with the proponent and Western Power in relation to the three outstanding matters noted above. Once the above matters have been finalised, the formal scheme amendment process will commence. This will involve further community consultation on the proposed amendment, which will include a community information session.

    Further details on the progress of this amendment, including information on community consultation dates, will be provided on this page as they come to hand. In the meantime, please contact the City's Strategic Planning Department for further enquiries.
