The Development Area 9 precinct:
 

• Encompasses approximately 2.99 hectares of land bound by Fauntleroy Avenue, Hay Road, Ivy Street and properties fronting Great Eastern Highway;
• Comprises 19 lots in multiple ownership.

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is the majority landowner with the precinct, representing 1.94 hectares of the area.

A Structure Plan for Development Area 9

• Was approved by Council on 21 December 2010 and endorsed by the WAPC on 4 April 2013;
• Indicates a future R20/R60 coding for six properties located in the western side of the precinct.

Further investigation and planning work is needed for the remainder of the area, including reclassification of the area from ‘Parks and Recreation’ to ‘Urban’ under the Metropolitan Region Scheme. This is land owned by the WAPC.

The WAPC has not indicated whether it will progress this planning work, so the timing of any redevelopment is unknown.

Amendment No. 14 to Local Planning Scheme No. 15

At the 23 February 2021 Ordinary Council Meeting, Council considered Amendment No. 14 to Local Planning Scheme No. 15, relating to the Development Area 9 precinct, and resolved to:

1. Re-advertise Amendment No. 14 with the following modifications:  
(a) Amending the Scheme Map to reflect an R40 coding over properties bound by Hay Road, Fauntleroy Avenue, land reserved for Parks and Recreation and properties zoned Mixed Use fronting Great Eastern Highway.
(b) Inserting an additional provision in to Schedule No. 9 of the Scheme Text requiring an arborist report to be prepared prior to any site works being undertaken on a property.

2. Advertise the Development Area 9 Local Structure Plan with an R40 density reflected over land bound by Hay Road, Fauntleroy Avenue, land reserved for Parks and Recreation and properties zoned Mixed Use fronting Great Eastern Highway.

In light of the above Council resolution, the City will soon be seeking further feedback on the Amendment, prior to a final recommendation being made by Council and the amendment subsequently being progressed to the Western Australian Planning Commission for determination.
