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.
