What is the Part 17 Significant Development Pathway?
The Part 17 Significant Development Pathway was a temporary initiative introduced by the State Government in 2020 to encourage major developments as part of its COVID-19 pandemic economic recovery program. Applicants with proposals valued at $20 million or more in the metropolitan area and $5 million or more in regional areas were able to apply to be determined by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). In making its decision, the WAPC is able to apply additional discretion. For more information about the pathway, please see the Part 17 page, including FAQs.
