Consultation has concluded
Consultation closes 27 August 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 Rockingham.
The land is in close proximity to Mandurah Road, Dampier Drive and existing local roads in the locality. The proposed Karnup station is approximately 1.25 km to the south and Comet Bay College is approximately 300 m to the west.
The purpose of the amendment is to rezone approximately 16.48 hectares in Golden Bay from a Rural zone to an Urban zone and Regional Open Space reservation in the MRS. The proposed amendment will primarily facilitate future residential development, public open space and a conservation area following a local planning scheme amendment, local structure planning and subdivision approval.
The proposed amendment is to be progressed as a standard region scheme amendment as its size and scale is not regionally significant and does not reflect a significant change to the strategic planning for the Metropolitan region. The amendment is not likely to result in significant impacts to the environmental values of the amendment area and the surrounding locality.
Submissions close Wednesday, 27 August 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.
