The Minister for Planning and Lands has approved, as modified, the abovementioned amendment to the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS). The amendment is shown on Amending Plan 3.2869/1 and is effective on and from the date of publication of this notice in the Government Gazette, being Friday 12 June 2026.
The amendment seeks to rezone approximately 19.84 ha of land in Mount Lawley under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS), 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 - Special Uses reservation.
- 0.07 ha from the Regional Open Space - Restricted Public Access reservation to Other Regional Roads (ORR) reservation, to accommodate a road truncation.
Pursuant to section 126(3) of the Planning and Development Act 2005, the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has the option of concurrently rezoning land that is being zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme, to a zone which is consistent with the objectives of the Urban zone in the corresponding local planning scheme.
In this respect, the WAPC resolved that the land being zoned Urban within Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment 1443 (Standard) be transferred to the Development Zone in the City of Stirling Local Planning Scheme No. 3. This amendment to Local Planning Scheme No. 3 is effective on and from the date of publication of this notice in the Government Gazette.
