Proposed changes to Local Planning Policy 5.3: East Wanneroo

Local Planning Policy 5.3: East Wanneroo (LPP 5.3) was initially prepared in 2014 to provide guidance on the consideration of planning proposals for urban or similar development, and for applications of a rural nature, within the East Wanneroo area.

The East Wanneroo District Structure Plan (EWDSP) was formally released by the Minister for Planning in August 2021. The City is proposing changes to LPP 5.3 to align with the final EWDSP and to clarify its position on consideration of planning proposals prior to finalisation of the district developer contribution plan and relevant amendments under the Metropolitan Region Scheme. 

The proposed changes to LPP 5.3 are summarised below:

• Policy provisions updated to reflect the processes outlined in the final East Wanneroo District Structure Plan (EWDSP);
  
• Inclusion of matters to be considered in the assessment of any applications in the EWDSP area;
• Outlining the process for the informal assessment of local structure plan proposals by the City ahead prior to formal applications being able to be received;
• Requirement for a Sense of Place Statement to be submitted with a local structure plan;
• Includes a list of information to be submitted with applications in the EWDSP area. 

The City is seeking feedback from all stakeholders on the proposed changes. All feedback will be considered and provided to Council for its consideration of the final LPP 5.3.
