The Belmont Park Racecourse Redevelopment Structure Plan details the vision and objectives for the ultimate redevelopment of the racecourse and surrounding land across four precincts. The purpose of the structure plan is to provide a high-level planning framework to guide decision makers, including Council and the Western Australian Planning Commission when it considers subdivision and development proposals as well as the preparation of more detailed planning instruments such as the Local Development Plan for Precinct B.

A Local Development Plan (LDP) is used to guide and coordinate the design and development of specific land parcels which require detailed planning to supplement development standards contained in higher order planning documents such as a structure plan, the local planning scheme and the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes). 

An LDP is a document of due regard and is used as an assessment tool to guide decision on future development and subdivision applications on the land it covers.
