Overview

After the Oats Street Station Precinct was identified in State and Local Government planning frameworks as having the potential for greater development, The Town of Victoria Park (The Town) worked towards creating an Oats Street Station Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) for the area. However, following recent announcements from State Government, further Oats Street Station PSP specific works are to cease as a result of the Station Precincts initiative.

The initiative will see State Government take a lead role in coordinating planning and development across ten train station precincts through the introduction of Improvement Plans and Improvement Schemes. Stations Oats Street Station and Carlisle Station, within The Town's boundary, will form one of the ten station precincts.

What has happened so far and what next?

The Oats Street Station Precinct Planning Timeline', adjacent, outlines the works previously completed for the Oats Street Station PSP, as well as the latest key events on the Station Precincts Improvement Plan and Improvement Scheme.

Following the finalisation and publication of the Station Precincts Improvement Plan, which did not require a public consultation, advertising of the draft Station Precincts Improvement Scheme has now commenced, with the advertising period running from Thursday 5 November 2026 to Friday 12 February 2027. The advertising period provides an opportunity for local governments, landowners, stakeholders and the broader community to review the draft Scheme and provide feedback before it is finalised.

The draft Scheme and supporting documentation are available via the following Draft Station Precincts Improvement Scheme No. 1 | Have Your Say, WA!. Hard copies of the documentation are also available for public viewing at the Town's Administration Building.

State Government have also organised community drop-in sessions for each of the station precincts, providing an opportunity for community members to learn more about the proposed Scheme and ask questions. The drop-in session for Carlise and Oats Street Station Precinct is Saturday 28th November 2026 at Aqualife. Further information, including session details and how to provide feedback, is also available on the Have Your Say webpage linked above.

The Town's Internal Process and Next Steps

Town officers will undertake a review of the draft Scheme and supporting documentation to inform the preparation of a formal response on behalf of the Town. The Town will not be running its own consultation so reiterate the need for all submissions to be made through the Have Your Say webpage linked above.
