The development of the Neerabup Industrial Area (NIA) has been a key strategic priority for the City of Wanneroo for a number of years. The City and state government own a majority of the developable land in the NIA, which will provide economic growth opportunities and local employment.
The City of Wanneroo Council at its Ordinary Council Meeting on 18 August 2015 noted the recommendations contained within the Order of Magnitude Business Plan and agreed to proceed with the development of the City of Wanneroo’s landholdings within the Neerabup Industrial Area, namely Lot 9000 (now Lot 9100), Lot 9003 and Lot 600.
Lot 9003 contains sand and limestone resources that require extraction in order to lower the ground levels to match the contour levels required under Structure Plan No. 17 Amendment 4. It will take approximately 15 years, over 5 stages to fully extract the resources and reduce the ground to the required levels. Land release will commence for industrial subdivision development following the completion of each stage.
The City of Wanneroo has engaged Urban Resources Pty Ltd to carry out its extractions works within the industrial area.
