Draft Swan Valley Planning Strategy

Consultation closes 15 August

Overview

A draft Planning Strategy has been prepared to set out the long-term planning directions of the Western Australian Planning Commission for the Swan Valley. The draft Planning Strategy comprises:

• Part 1 – Planning Strategy; and
• Part 2 – Background Information and Analysis.

Part 1 identifies issues and opportunities. Consistent with the State Planning Framework, planning issues of relevance to the Swan Valley are presented under the following themes:

• community, urban growth and settlement;
• economy and employment (including tourism);
• environment;
• infrastructure.

Planning directions and actions are identified for each planning issue and opportunity. The planning directions for the Swan Valley mostly reflect the objects of the Swan Valley Planning Act 2020. Each planning direction is supported by an action(s), that clearly and concisely outlines what action(s) is proposed and how it is to be undertaken, and the rationale and timeframe.

Part 2 provides the rationale and evidence base for Part 1. It provides the relevant background information and analysis that supports the planning directions and actions outlined within Part 1. Part 2 includes a summary of the relevant Swan Valley, State and regional planning contexts, including the rationale for the existing planning scheme, and their implications for the draft Planning Strategy. A Swan Valley profile is also provided, which includes a demographic profile, and the key planning issues and opportunities influencing future development and land use in the Swan Valley.
