The Local Planning Strategy (LPS):

  • recognises and incorporates social, economic, and environmental changes occurring in the City of Gosnells;
  • reflects and integrates the vision and directions of the community, particularly housing, transport and employment;
  • is used to inform and outlines the City's intentions relating to planning matters to implement the Local Planning Scheme; and
  • assists the City to plan for future growth and sets out the City's objectives for future planning through a broad framework of coordinated, sustainable developments.

The decision followed a six-month period of public consultation.  The City received 183 submissions from landowners, residents and government agencies, prompting changes in relation to higher-density development around train stations and activity centres, and proposed zoning in the City's Rural areas.  Council supported almost half of the 183 submissions received, either in part or in full and this resulted in the adoption of many extra refinements to the draft Local Planning Scheme and Strategy.
