• Urban - 40-hectare Karnup Station Precinct is proposed to be rezoned from Rural to Urban.

An area of land west of the rail line is proposed to be rezoned from Railways to Parks and Recreation.

The proposed amendment is consistent with the South Metropolitan Peel Sub-regional Planning Framework and will be progressed as a Standard amendment
