Parliament: 40 Session: 1

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PLANNING COMMISSION — CITY OF JOONDALUPLOCAL PLANNING SCHEME 3 — AMENDMENT 5

978. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Planning:

My question without notice is asked on behalf of Hon Tjorn Sibma, who is on urgent parliamentary business.

I refer to the City of Joondalup's draft scheme amendment 5.

(1) Has the Western Australian Planning Commission received the aforementioned draft scheme amendment; and, if so, when was this document received?

(2) Has the WAPC or one of its subcommittees—for example, the Statutory Planning Committee—given formal consideration to the draft scheme amendment; and, if so, when?

(3) If no to (2), when might the WAPC consider the matter?

(4) What issues might prevent the WAPC from accepting the draft scheme amendment without further modification?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

On behalf of the Minister for Environment representing the Minister for Planning, I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(4) Amendment 5 to the City of Joondalup local planning scheme 3 was received by the WA Planning Commission on 3 April 2020. Amendment 5 proposes the inclusion of housing opportunity area development controls. It is anticipated that the amendment will be considered by the Statutory Planning Committee in the last quarter of 2020.
