Consultation has concluded and a decision has been made.

Outcome

At its meeting in May 2021, Council recommended that the WA Planning Commission approves the Serpentine Townsite Local Structure Plan subject to modifications.

To view the Council decision, visit the Shire's Agenda and Minutes page and view the May Council Meeting Minutes.

Background

The Draft Structure Plan was originally publicly advertised between 13 March 2014 and 4 April 2014 for comment. Council considered the Draft Structure Plan at the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 7 December 2015 and made a recommendation to the WAPC to support the Draft Structure Plan subject to modifications. The Draft Structure Plan was considered by the Statutory Planning Committee (SPC) of the WAPC on 30 January 2018. The WAPC required a number of modifications to be made to the Draft Structure Plan and for the modified Draft Structure Plan to be re-advertised for a period of 28 days. These modifications were extensive, and required a number of additional studies to inform revisions to reflect the WAPC interim decisions. The key modifications required by the WAPC included:

• The Residential R10 coding being removed and replaced with Residential R5.

• The Rudall Street Public Open Space being revised.

• The Local Water Management Strategy and Public Open Space Schedule being updated.

• A Bushfire Management Plan being prepared.

• A Wetland Assessment and Site-Specific Wetland Buffer Study being prepared.

The Shire has undertaken all the modifications required by the WAPC and has now been re-advertised with he modified Draft Structure Plan. The modified Draft Structure Plan identifies land for the purposes of Residential R5, Neighbourhood Centre, public open space, public and community purpose and education. The Draft Structure Plan area has an approximate potential lot yield of 368 lots.

    The change to R5, what impact does that have on the CWA Serpentine and Districts branch?

    Jill Murphy asked about 3 years ago

    Hi Jill, 

    The CWA Serpentine and Districts branch has been identified as Residential R5. This will not affect the current use of the property. A submission can be made on the Local Structure Plan to outline the current use of the property and any future aspirations for the site.

    Hi Abie, 

    Bush Forever areas are identified under the Metropolitan Region Scheme to protect and manage regionally significant bushland. A Bush Forever designation can occur over a road reserve. These parts of road with the Bush Forever designation are not proposed to be closed.

    EmilyBerry asked over 3 years ago

    Hi EmilyBerry,

    The revised Serpentine Townsite Local Structure Plan which is currently being advertised includes the following key changes from the previous version.

    • All Residential land within the plan is identified as Residential R5. This means that lots may be able to be subdivided to a minimum of 2,000m2, subject to a subdivision application and relevant supporting information. If lots are already 2,000m2 or below, further subdivision will not be supported.
    • Some changes to the road layout within the plan.
    • Some changes to the amount and location of public open space within the plan.
