Development of the estate also drives employment opportunities in aviation and non-aviation sectors. This Master Plan 2020 has adopted terminology consistent with the Western Australian planning system, and accordingly has use zones, land uses, and planning provisions derived from the Western Australian Government’s Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015. 66 SECTION 3: LAND USE PLANNING 3.2 Precincts The use of precincts in the Perth Airport Land Use Plan represents the high-level division of the airport estate for airport planning, development and identification. Precincts have differing objectives and characteristics based on the following: • communities of interest, • contiguous land uses, • access points and available transport, and • interfaces with neighbouring land uses and communities. The use of a precinct within the context of the airport estate can be compared to the concept of a suburb (or locality) within a Local Government area. At this high-level, precincts define the locational characteristic of a respective area but not the land uses or zones. This is similar to the way in which a suburb may contain a range of land uses. Each precinct therefore comprises land use zones. The precincts and their respective primary purposes are identified inTable 3-1 and shown in Figure 3-1.
