Draft Local Planning Scheme No. 2

Consultation has concluded

The Town of Victoria Park has prepared a new draft Local Planning Scheme No. 2 (LPS2) to guide development of the Town’s growing and diverse community.

LPS2 will replace the existing Town Planning Scheme No. 1 (TPS1) to become the primary statutory document of the Town’s planning framework and shape how land within the Town is developed.

The proposed new Scheme is based on the recommendations of the Town’s Local Planning Strategy 2022 and the requirements of the State Government’s statutory and strategic planning framework.

Changes to the scheme aim to encourage activation of public places, create more places for people, update zoning to better reflect existing land uses and ultimately contribute to the delivery of the Town’s Strategic Community Plan.

To create the new scheme, Town Planning Scheme No. 1 was updated to meet legislative requirements and quick wins were achieved by implementing short-term recommendations from the Town’s Local Planning Strategy.

For more complex areas like Albany Highway and the Burswood mixed use precinct, the local planning framework will be updated through the Town’s Precinct Structure Plan Program and progressive strategic amendments to the new Scheme over the next five years.

This staged approach enables the Town to address complex planning issues over time and has allowed development of the new Scheme to be fast-tracked.

Project Status

Following public advertising in 2023, the Town reviewed all feedback received and prepared recommendations for Council to consider endorsing the scheme. 

At the 20 February 2024 Ordinary Meeting of Council, the Council resolved to endorse Local Planning Scheme No.2 subject to a number of modifications.

LPS2 will now be submitted to the West Australian Planning Commission for assessment and Minister for Planning for a decision. 

The anticipated project timeline and next steps for LPS2 is shown on the right hand side of this page.
