Consultation closes 13 October 2025
Overview
The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is seeking public comment on a proposal to amend the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) for land in the City of Stirling.
The purpose of the amendment is to rezone approximately 19.8 ha of land in Mount Lawley under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) as shown on the Amendment Figure - Proposal 1, specifically:
17.92 ha from the Public Purposes - Tertiary Education reservation to the Urban zone,
1.85 ha from the Public Purposes - Tertiary Education reservation to Public Purposes - High School reservation; and
0.07 ha from the Regional Open Space - Restricted Public Access reservation to Other Regional Roads (ORR) reservation, to accommodate a road truncation.
The rezoning will facilitate the redevelopment of the site for urban infill purposes following the relocation of Edith Cowan University (ECU) to the Perth CBD and Joondalup campuses, following a local planning scheme amendment, structure planning and subdivision approval.
The Urban zone is intended to accommodate a range of residential densities and typologies, public open space, supporting amenities, and a potential 1.6 ha primary school site identified in consultation with the Department of Education. The Public Purposes - High School reservation caters for the planned expansion of the adjacent Mount Lawley Senior High School.
The proposed amendment is to be progressed as a standard region scheme amendment as the proposal is consistent with the strategic planning direction in the Framework and facilitates the redevelopment of surplus government land.
Submissions close Monday 13 October 2025. Late submissions may not be considered.
Please direct queries for more information to the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage by email to regionplanningschemes@dplh.wa.gov.au or telephone (08) 6551 9000.
