FAQs
What is the Mandurah Centre Plan?
The Mandurah Centre Plan is what we’re calling our rather lengthily titled Mandurah Strategic Centre Precinct Structure Plan (MSCPSP). A structure plan is something we’re required to do under legislation and means we are considering the long-term requirements of our Mandurah's centre by looking at the needs related to housing, business, transport, infrastructure, and public spaces.
Why is the plan being reviewed?
The City of Mandurah is reviewing the plan to ensure it aligns with the latest state and regional planning policies, supports sustainable growth, and reflects the community’s needs.
Our community is growing, and we need to ensure this plan reflects the current needs, desires and priorities of those who live, work, and are connected to Mandurah's centre.
How can I get involved in the review?
You can participate by attending engagement opportunities, completing online surveys, or providing feedback through the City’s website.
Sign up to our Mandurah Centre Plan mailing list here for the latest updates, and to hear about upcoming community consultation opportunities.
Will this plan affect my property or business?
The plan may include recommendations that affect zoning, parking, and infrastructure planning. We encourage local businesses and property owners to be part of the consultation process to have their voices heard.
What is a Precinct Structure Plan?
A Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) is defined in WA planning legislation and is a planning document that sets out how an urban precinct is expected to grow and change over time. A PSP guides how land can be used and developed, including housing and commercial development and outlines future planning for transport, public spaces, and infrastructure.
What is the Mandurah Strategic Centre?
State Planning Policy 4.2 Activity Centres classifies Mandurah as a Strategic Centre. These are regional or sub-regional multi-purpose centres serving substantial populations which are the main focus for housing and employment growth outside the capital city, providing a range of economic and community services for local communities and the wider region including health, community and social services, a hub for business and well-served by public transport.
What is the project area?
The existing approved Precinct Structure Plan area covers the city centre and some parts of central Mandurah including the Mandurah Train Station precinct, southern parts of Silver Sands and the Mandurah Ocean Marina. As is normal, the current boundary will be reviewed as part of the review of the Precinct Structure Plan. The boundary review may consider areas outside the existing Precinct Structure Plan boundary, and this will be a matter for consultation.
