The Shire has received a request to amend Structure Plan 71 (SP71), being Lot 6 Helena Valley Road and Lots 9001 and 9002 Carabeen Avenue, Helena Valley.
Public comment is invited on the following proposed amendments to SP71:
The south-western portion of SP71 shown to be ‘subject to future planning’ is proposed to be reduced in area, this being due to the Reserve adjacent to the watercourse being proposed to be enlarged.
Please refer to the project document library section on this site for the Structure Plan Report and supporting documents.They can also be viewed at the following locations:
Submissions on amended Structure Plan 71 can be made via:
Please ensure that submissions are made by 4.00pm on 19 December 2024.
Once the advertising period has concluded the Shire will review all of the submissions received. A report will then be prepared for Council to consider, and subsequently a recommendation will be provided to the Western Australian Planning Commission on whether the proposal should be refused, or be approved with or without modifications.
The Commission will make a final decision to approve or refuse the structure plan.
If the Commission decides to approve the structure plan, it comes into effect immediately. The Shire is to have due regard to, but is not bound by, the structure plan when considering any development and subdivision applications in the area.
Should you have any enquiries, please contact Andrew Bratley (Coordinator Strategic Planning) or the Shire’s Planning Services on (08) 9290 6740 or via shire@mundaring.wa.gov.au.
A structure plan is a planning document which guides future land use and development for an area. The Shire has regard to structure plans when assessing development and subdivision applications.
The density codes are intended to guide:
(a) subdivision - by means of minimum and average lot size; and
(b) development and built form - by way of development controls.
The minimum and average lot size requirements for the density codings can be found under Table D of the Residential Design Codes Volume 1 found here
The Western Australian Planning Commission is responsible for determining the structure plan to ensure that State strategic planning priorities and policy objectives are delivered through progressive subdivision and development in a coordinated manner.
The Shire has a key role in assessing and providing a recommendation on the structure plan.
Structure plans are valid for 10 years - or a longer period approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission - after which they will expire.
Council must consider the planning merits of the proposal and the planning issues that have been raised in the submissions received. The Shire asks that comments be limited to matters directly related to the planning merits or impacts of the proposed structure plan. Matters the Shire is not required to have regard to when considering such a proposal include, but are not limited to, perceived loss of property value, private disputes between neighbours, and matters that are controlled under non-Planning related legislation.
