Structure Plans
What is a structure plan?
A structure plan illustrates the proposed structure and layout of a future development area.
The preparation of a structure plan is one of the first steps you need to take in order to progress a proposal for the development of a new urban area. Structure plans illustrate key road configurations and the location of retail and community facilities such as shops, schools and public open spaces, as well as details such as housing density, land use classifications and buffer zones.
A standard structure plan process applies across the State, and is guided by the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale Town Planning Scheme No. 2 and the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Structure Plan Guidelines.
When to prepare a structure plan
Structure plans are prepared and approved prior to the subdivision or development of land in development areas identified within the Shire’s Town Planning Scheme, or where required by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC).
Structure plan process and framework
The Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 outline the requirements and procedures to follow to prepare a structure plan.
The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage - Structure Plans flowchart explains the different types of structure plans and outlines the information that needs to be submitted with them. This includes an application template to use a flowchart of the process.
Please ensure you engage the services of appropriate expertise when preparing a structure plan, including the preparation of all supporting information. You should also contact the Shire’s Strategic Planning Services on 9526 1111 or by email to info@shshire.wa.gov.au to arrange a pre-lodgement meeting before submitting your structure plan application.
