The Minister for Planning has approved, as modified, the abovementioned amendment to the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS).
The amendment is shown on Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) Plan Number 3.2830/2 and is effective on and from the date of publication of this notice in the Government Gazette being 12 September 2025.
The purpose of the amendment is to transfer approximately:
- 18.08 hectares of land in Brabham from the Regional Open Space, Primary Regional Roads and Public Purposes - Special Uses reservations to the Urban zone and remove the designation for Bush Forever Area 200 over approximately 1.22 hectares of this land; and
- 2.42 hectares of land within Brabham from the Public Purposes - Special Uses reservation to the Urban Deferred zone.
Pursuant to section 126(3) of the Planning and Development Act 2005, the WAPC has the option of concurrently rezoning land that is being zoned Urban under the MRS to a zone which is consistent with the objective of the Urban zone in the corresponding local planning scheme.
In this respect, the WAPC has resolved to concurrently amend the City of Swan Local Planning Scheme No. 17 to transfer the area being zoned Urban to the Residential Development zone. This amendment to Local Planning Scheme No. 17 is effective on and from the date of publication of this notice in the Government Gazette being 12 September 2025.
