Amendment No. 3 to Town Planning Scheme No 2 - Bentley Park Covenants
Have Your Say: Removal of Outdated Restrictive Covenants in Technology Park, Bentley
The Town of Victoria Park is inviting community feedback on a proposed amendment to Local Planning Scheme No. 2, relating to land within Technology Park, Bentley (Special Use Zone SU1).
What is being proposed?
The amendment is looking to add the following insert into the Town's Local Planning Scheme No. 2:
Insert (3) under ‘Clause 35 – Restrictive Covenants’.
(3)A restrictive covenant affecting land in SU1 – Technology Park, Bentley depicted in Schedule D –Special Use Zones that has the effect of restricting sale, lease, subdivision, land use, construction, building height, fencing, parking or materials which may be developed on the land is extinguished.
Why is it being proposed?
The amendment seeks to extinguish outdated restrictive covenants that currently apply to properties within the Towns Bentley Technology Park. These covenants were historically placed on titles to control how land can be sold, leased, subdivided, or developed.
Under the proposed amendment:
Any restrictive covenant affecting land in Technology Park (SU1) that limits sale, lease, subdivision, land use, building construction, building height, fencing, parking, or materials will no longer have any effect.
The proposal is a “standard” amendment, meaning it doesn’t significantly change the planning framework or propose any major policy changes.
What does this mean for landowners?
Landowners in Technology Park will no longer be bound by private restrictive covenants that conflict with modern planning requirements.
Although the covenants will be automatically extinguished through the amendment, affected owners are encouraged to update their certificate of title by lodging a request with Landgate to formally remove the covenant notation.
Why is this change being made?
Technology Park is evolving into a contemporary research and innovation hub. Removing old covenants helps ensure the planning framework is:
clear and consistent
flexible for future development, and
aligned with the Town’s and State Government’s long-term vision for the precinct.
