Introduction to Metropolitan Region Scheme major amendments The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for keeping the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) under review and initiating changes where they are seen as necessary. The MRS sets out the broad pattern of land use for the whole Perth metropolitan region. The MRS is constantly under review to best reflect regional planning and development needs. A proposal to change land use reservations and zones in the MRS is regulated by the Planning and Development Act 2005. That legislation provides for public submissions to be made on proposed amendments. For a substantial amendment, often referred to as a major amendment (made under section 41of the Act), the WAPC considers allthe submissions lodged, and publishesits recommendations in a report on submissions. This report is presented to the Minister for Planning and to the Governor for approval. Both Houses of Parliament must then scrutinise the amendment before it can take legal effect. In the process of making a substantial amendment to the MRS, information is published as a public record under the following titles: Amendment report This document is available from the start of the public advertising period of the proposed amendment.Itsets out the purpose and scope of the proposal, explains why the amendment is considered necessary, and informs people how they can comment through the submission process. Environmental review report The Environmental Protection Authority must consider the environmental impact of an amendment to the MRS before it can be advertised. Should it require formal assessment, an environmental review is undertaken and made available for information and comment at the same time as the amendment report. Report on submissions The planning rationale, determination of submissions and the recommendations of the WAPC for final approval of the amendment, with or without modification, is documented in this report. Submissions This document contains a reproduction of all written submissions received by the WAPC on the proposed amendment. Transcript of hearings A person who has made a written submission may also choose to appear before a hearings committee to express their views. The hearings proceedings are recorded and transcribed, and the transcripts of all hearings are reproduced in this volume.

The amendments seek to update zones and reservations in the MRS in relation to public lands to ensure that reservations match cadastral boundaries and to ensure that the MRS is kept up to date as the statutory regional plan for Perth. The main purpose of the proposed amendments is to include within the parks and recreation reservation of the MRS various pieces of publicly owned land to reflect their regional significance. Additionally, some properties are proposed to be rezoned to better reflect their current use and purpose within the MRS. 2 The proposed amendment The proposals are described in the WAPC's amendment report published in September 2009. The amendment as advertised for public submissions comprised a total of 155 proposals across 18 local government authority areas. The more significant proposals in the amendment are: The inclusion of approximately 18 352 hectares of land in the parks and recreation reservation (115 proposals). Thirty five of these proposals include additions to the protection of Bush Forever and 41 involve additions to foreshore reserves of the Swan/Canning river systems, including the Helena and Southern Rivers and the Jane and Ellen Brooks. Some 14 409 hectares of the total area proposed for the parks and recreation reservation are former areas of state forest to be managed as national parks by the Department of Environment and Conservation on behalf of the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Approximately 1160 hectares of land in the rural zone on the western boundary of Whiteman Park is proposed for inclusion in the parks and recreation reservation and Whiteman Park, which already manages the subject land. This land was included in a previous proposed omnibus amendment (1027/33) that was disallowed for other reasons, notably in relation to the proposed rezoning of the 'Marshall Road' lands. Significant areas of the parks and recreation reservation proposals (other than those associated with the national parks) involve land purchased by the WAPC to enhance regional open space, such as the western cell of the original Brigadoon special rural estate. The WAPC purchased this land because of its identified landscape amenity values. Many of the remaining parks and recreation proposals involve properties that were purchased at the request of the landowners and their acquisition facilitated better long term management arrangements as part of larger areas of region open space. 1 3 Environmental Protection Authority advice The proposals were referred to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) who has advised that the proposed amendment should not be assessed under Part IV Division 3 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. The EPA provided advice on environmental issues in relation to Proposal 1in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrandale. A copy of the notice from the EPA is included at appendix A of the WAPC amendment report. 4 Public submissions The proposed amendment was published in the government gazette and was open for public submissions from 6 October 2009 until 29 January 2010, a period of nearly four months. The proposed amendment was made available for public inspection at the head offices of the WAPC, the State Reference Library and the municipal offices of each of the 18 local government authority areas affected by the amendment. During the public comment period, notice of the amendment was published in The West Australian, The Sunday Times and in 17 different community newspapers covering each of the 18 municipal areas between October 2009 to January 2010. Allof the owners/managers of the subject lands were provided with a copy of the amendment report and advised of the opportunity and procedure for making a submission. 5 Submissions and hearings A total of 40 submissions were received, 37 by the closing date and three after that date. Fifteen submissions supported or partly supported the proposals, 14 objected to some proposals and 11 had no objection, no comment or made comment on some proposals. An index of all organisations and persons who made submissions is attached at schedule 1 and a summary of the submissions is attached at schedule 2. A full copy of the submissions is contained in a separate publication. Section 46 of the Planning and Development Act 2005 provides that each person who makes a submission is to be offered the opportunity of being heard by a Committee formed by the WAPC for that purpose. Following preliminary consideration of the matters raised in the submissions, the Chairman of the Western Australian Planning Commission endorsed the constitution of the hearings committee on 10 May 2010. The hearings committee comprised: Cr Corinne McRae, Chair Dr Bruce Hamilton Cr Henry Zelones Six organisations or individuals

  • P1368b-1370A Mr Paul Miles; Mr Dean Nalder GNANGARA ROAD
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 17 March 2016] p1368b-1370a Mr Paul Miles; Mr Dean Nalder GNANGARA ROAD — REALIGNMENT Grievance MR P.T. MILES (Wanneroo — Parliamentary Secretary) [9.50 am]: My grievance is to the Minister for Transport, Hon Dean Nalder, and refers to a very similar matter raised earlier by the member for Girrawheen. It is important that we put across what has happened in this particular area. As most people in the northern suburbs know, for some time Gnangara Road has been a major distributor road to the industrial estate. In 2014, when residents were becoming alarmed at some of the traffic build-up there, we, in conjunction with the City of Wanneroo, were able to have the road reclassified. The road now is once again a local road and it comes under the jurisdiction, in that sense, of the City of Wanneroo. The big concern for the little enclave in the northern part of the suburb of Madeley—which is in the southern part of my electorate and bounds the electorates of both the member for Girrawheen and the member for Kingsley—is the realignment of Gnangara Road, which has to happen. It is one of those issues that the local authority has left on the backburner, not by choice but because it is a road that has just worked and people have just gone about their business. However, it is very clear that as more homes have been built in that area, the little enclave has tripled in size, especially with the private estate and private roads that are being built alongside.
