The City is seeking comments on the draft Local Planning Strategy until 5pm on 25 July 2025 through the survey below.
What is the Local Planning Strategy?
A local planning strategy establishes the forward planning intention for local governments and provides the basis for the zoning of land in local planning schemes. When preparing a scheme, a local government is required to prepare a strategy. A local planning strategy must:
set out the long-term planning directions for the local government
apply any State or regional planning policy that is relevant to the strategy
provide the rationale for any zoning or classification of land under the local planning scheme and
be prepared in a manner and form approved by the WAPC
Strategies are generally prepared in two parts: Part one comprises the strategies and actions required to implement the strategy; and Part two details the background and planning rationale for the strategy.
How can the community influence the project?
We are asking the public to:
Contribute feedback on the strategy.
Provide statements of support for, or against, the strategy.
Speak to a Strategic Planning Team member for any questions on the strategy.
City Officers aim to:
Keep you informed, listen to and acknowledge concerns and provide feedback on how public input influenced the decision.
Work with you to ensure that your concerns and aspirations are put forward to Council and provide feedback on how public input influenced the decision.
How can you discuss this proposal and your feedback with City Officers?
