Last updated:

Overview

The Perth and Peel @ 3.5million planning frameworks identified 15 areas where further detailed planning was required to determine whether any change to current land use and/or zonings was appropriate. 

Decisions were made on the future land uses for 13 of the 15 Planning Investigation Areas (PIAs) in September 2022. Those decisions followed extensive investigations by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, on behalf of the Western Australian Planning Commission, and in conjunction with a range of other State Government agencies. 

Additional investigations into the future use of land in the final two PIAs – the Jandakot/Treeby, and the North Ballajura (Hepburn Avenue - East) PIAs have been concluded.

Decisions on the future use of land in each of the 15 PIAs are summarised below.
