Local Planning Policy 3.22: North Fremantle

The City is seeking comments on draft Local Planning Policy 3.22: North Fremantle.

At the 11 June 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting the draft policy was unanimously endorsed by Council for the purpose of public advertising and community engagement. The policy is now open for community comment.

In summary, the policy:

• Consolidates the City's suite of Local Planning Policies relating to North Fremantle and removes outdated criteria.
• Identifies eight sub-areas and provides specific provisions which seek to maintain the existing pattern of development of the locations.
• Deletes the McCabe Street height criteria and reverts to the R-Codes as view corridors have been eroded due to approved development and approved structure plans.

For a full discussion on these changes, please refer to the Ordinary Council Meeting Minutes of 11 June 2025.

The City recognises that the adoption of this policy may affect residents, developers and businesses within the community. This engagement process seeks to inform the public of this policy proposal and collect feedback from individuals, groups, and organisations for Council to consider before its final adoption.

How can the community influence the project?

We are asking the public to:

• Review the draft policy and Council report.
