The amendment is shown on Amending Plan 3.2868 and is effective on and from the date of publication of this notice in the Government Gazette, being Friday 18 September 2026.
The purpose of the amendment is to rezone approximately 4.87 ha in Helena Valley from the Rural zone to the Urban zone and Regional Open Space reservation under the MRS.
The amendment will primarily facilitate future residential development, public open space and a conservation area following local structure planning and subdivision approval.
By virtue of section 126(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2005, the Shire of Mundaring Local Planning Scheme No. 4 is amended to give effect to the reservation(s) included in Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment 1444 (Standard).
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 1444 (Standard) be transferred to the Development zone in the Shire of Mundaring Local Planning Scheme No. 4. This amendment to Local Planning Scheme No. 4 is effective on and from the date of publication of this notice in the Government Gazette.
