Background
In 2008, the City of Belmont recognised the potential for high quality mixed commercial and residential development in the Golden Gateway precinct. Coordinated planning was needed to overcome the challenges of site access constraints and land fragmentation.
The draft Golden Gateway Local Structure Plan was prepared and addresses:
- Land use and zoning
- Built form and development requirements
- Modifications and upgrades to the movement network
- Public realm improvements
- Infrastructure and servicing requirements
- Stormwater management
- Implementation requirements
Following preparation of the draft Local Structure Plan, it was advertised in October 2019. Following advertising and consideration of submissions, Council resolved at the 23 June 2020 Ordinary Council Meeting to investigate and make modifications to the draft Structure Plan and supporting reports and readvertise these documents.
Current status
Following investigations, the draft Local Structure Plan has been revised with key modifications relating to:
- The road network
- The Central Belmont Main Drain and public open space;
- Deevlopment requirements; and
- The designation of Perth Racing landholdings as subject to a separate planning process.
Council endorsed the modified Structure Plan at the 27 August 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting.
The draft Golden Gateway Local Structure Plan is open for public comment until 1 November 2024.
