Mandurah Centre Plan: Resident or Landowner
The Mandurah Centre Plan is a roadmap for how Mandurah’s centre will develop over the coming years.
It covers what is (and isn’t) going to happen with regards to housing, shops, public spaces, transport, and parking, ensuring the area grows in a way that benefits everyone while still preserving our laidback lifestyle and beautiful natural environment.
Formally known as the Mandurah Strategic Centre Precinct Structure Plan Review (MSCPSP), it is a planning document that guides how land can be used and developed in Central Mandurah with regards to:
- Creating more housing options to suit different lifestyles, and without the need for more clearing of the natural environment.
- Making it easier to walk, cycle, or use public transport.
- Supporting local businesses and create new jobs.
- Improving Central Mandurah as a vibrant, welcoming space.
The Mandurah Centre Plan covers some parts of central Mandurah, Silver Sands, the Mandurah Train Station precinct and the Mandurah Ocean Marina. Parts of Dudley Park may also be reviewed and considered. You can view the entire area on the site map in the documents section of this page.
So what's happening now?
The City is reviewing the plan and wants to hear your ideas! Your input will help shape a Mandurah that works for you, your family, and future generations.
The first step of this journey is about engaging with our community. So that you can remain informed about upcoming consultation opportunities, and receive the latest updates as they become available, you can sign up to our Mandurah Centre Plan mailing list.

Rremue asked 3 months agoThe City does not have the authority to move an individual business or service, however improving both parking and community safety will be key considerations throughout the Mandurah Centre Plan project.

Share re intersection of Pinjarra Road, Leslie Street and Sholl Street, the idea of having the right hand lane in each of Leslie and Sholl as right turn only will not work without filter lights. As an alternative close off Sholl entirely from its corner with Pinjarra up to the entrance to the car park beyond the post office. That will reduce the traffic interaction hugely and make Pinjarra and Leslie a T junction. People from Leslie or from over the bridge going to Woolworths will have to go round via Sutton.

CURLEW asked 3 months agoThanks for the question – it’s great to hear from someone with practical solutions to traffic management! While this one is a bit specific for us to give a direct answer right now, we can say our Mandurah Centre Plan project will explore a range of ways to improve the traffic flow in our strategic centre. This could be upgrading lights systems, reconfiguring lanes, or even reviewing public transport routes.
To chat more about the specific intersection at Pinjarra Road and Leslie / Sholl Streets, please call our team on (08) 9550 3777.

Share No more Shopping Centres. There's one on every corner, all are dead quiet or closed at night and on Sundays. No more commercial building approvals. The rental on these is high and the majority of them remain vacant. What entertainment is there for our teenagers? Unless you are interested in fishing or skate boarding, not much they can do - especially for the girls. Some venues for the kids to hang out in would be great - food, music, after school and Fri/Sat nights. Something that separates primary school kids from the older high schoolers (who I think need it the most). Sure you could go the typical bowls, games and roller skating but think outside the box: An underaged 'club' that offers cheap food and drinks/milkshakes, dancing - that will play their music of choice, have phone charges and free Wi-Fi, a basketball court out the back, spaces to do homework, close at 6/7pm, stays open late on the weekends or longer during school holidays (need student ID to enter). For the kids that are maybe a little further out Halls Head to Dawesville maybe (buses only every hour and route closes at 8:30pm, definitely getting built out that way) Or host some great music festivals - we brag about the foreshore and all its upgrades, everyone is holidaying down here in the summer, we need more than just the crab fest? on Facebook Share No more Shopping Centres.

Tanya76 asked 3 months agoGreat points! Regarding your question about activity for youth in Mandurah, while it’s not a “like-for-like”, our Billy Dower Youth Centre offers much of what you have described above. The Centre offers spaces for young people to gather with friends, play games, learn new skills, and even has a basketball court out the back! We will continue to look at further options to offer more activities and engagement for youth in Mandurah and it’s surrounding suburbs.
With regards to your other queries around hosting more large-scale events, and the number of commercial shopping spaces, the Mandurah Centre Plan will consider each of these aspects and how we can plan for a strategic centre that better supports each of these areas in the future.

Jmarcelobc0803 asked 3 months agoImproving community safety will be a large focus for the Mandurah Centre Plan. Outcomes from the plan may include a variety of methods to improve safety in the area, from tangible items like more CCTV cameras and better streetlighting, to broader initiatives like more public spaces to increase community activity in the area.
Each of these plays a role in creating safer streets and spaces.

Alice asked 3 months agoUpgrades to the Peel Health Campus are led by the State Government, with a redevelopment planned to deliver more services for Mandurah residents. Find out more about the State Government project here: https://peel.health.wa.gov.au/About-us/Peel-Health-Campus-Redevelopment-Project
While local governments like the City of Mandurah are not responsible for carrying out upgrades to hospital infrastructure, we do play a role in planning for future development that will enable more health services to operate in our city. Our draft plans for the Mandurah Health Precinct (the area surrounding the Peel Health Campus) are out for public comment now.

rgb asked 3 months agoThe Mandurah Centre Plan project will explore a range of options to improve transport in the area. This may include ways to improve the road network, and working alongside state bodies such as the Public Transport Authority and Transperth to ensure public transport routes are more accessible and convenient.
Much of this planning work will be guided by the City’s Integrated Transport Strategy, which has been developed to articulate long-term aspirations for the way Council plans for movement around Mandurah, to highlight transport opportunities and to outline how it will progress towards the future. You can view this strategy here.

TheMandurahLife asked 3 months agoSpecific outcomes (such as the nature corridor mentioned in your question) are yet to be determined, however the Mandurah Centre Plan project will place a large focus on improving the canopy cover throughout Mandurah’s strategic centre.
Protecting native trees is a major consideration in all pieces of planning work carried out by the city. Our Environmental Strategy (2023 – 2033) highlights the importance of maintaining and improving canopy cover in urban areas, and this will be front and centre as we continue working on the Mandurah Centre Plan.

What priority is given to resolving the homelessness crisis currently having a serious impact on both the wellbeing of our most vulnerable residents, and the liveability of the area for the most fortunate of residents..?
TheMandurahLife asked 3 months agoAddressing liveability of the area for all residents will be a key focus of the Mandurah Centre Plan. This will include better access to things like public transport, local support services, and healthcare – all of which play a key role in helping people experiencing homelessness.
The State Government is primarily responsible for the direct delivery and funding of homelessness and housing services, however local governments (like us at the City of Mandurah) play an important supporting and enabling role at the community level. This may include developing plans (such as this Mandurah Centre Plan), building infrastructure, or maintaining important partnerships with local service providers.

abmitch asked 3 months agoThere are no current plans for a multi-storey car park in the City Centre, however should growth exceed current plans and expectations, there are options to consider one into the future. This is addressed in our City Centre Car Parking Plan.
The Mandurah Centre Plan includes a plan to review and consider existing public open space and recommendations for outcomes for additional areas given the expected growth in the area.
