Consultation has concluded


At its meeting held on the 25 January 2022, Council resolved to adopt Draft Local Planning Policy No. 1 – Residential Development (‘LPP1’) for the purposes of advertising.


State Planning Policy 7.3 - Residential Design Codes Volume 1 (‘R-Codes’) was updated in July 2021 in an effort to simplify provisions and streamline the approval of single and grouped dwellings. The State Government fast-tracked changes in order to assist in the economic recovery of the COVID-19 pandemic.


Arising from the July 2021 modifications to the R-Codes, and following a review of the existing LPP1 and working practices, a revised Local Planning Policy has been prepared to provide a more streamlined document in an effort to strengthen its alignment with the R-Codes and ensure that residential development remains consistent with the intent and objectives of the R-Codes. In particular, the revised Local Planning Policy retains provisions relating to outbuildings, canal lots and lots abutting foreshore reserves, which are important in the local context.


Submissions on the policy may be lodged in writing to the City by 25 March 2022 via email to planning@mandurah.wa.gov.au.
