Minister for approval to a Scheme Amendment that seeks to rezone Lots 1 and 52 Fairfax Drive, Moresby, from 'Rural' zone to 'Development' zone. A 'Development' zone provides for comprehensive planning of large scale/broadacre development through a structure plan. The structure planning process and details will continue to be developed in consultation with the City whilst this Amendment is processed. 2 PROPERTY DETAILS The property subject of this Amendment is Lots 1 and 52 Fairfax Drive, Moresby. The site is located about 6 kilometres east northeast of Geraldton Central Business District. The property is the whole of the land contained in the Certificates of Title as listed below; LOT NO VOLUME FOLIO AREA 1 1348 59 80.99ha 52 2225 176 335.38ha Copies of these titles are attached in Attachment A. Figure 1 shows the location of the site in relation to Geraldton Central Business District, with Figure 2 showing an aerial photograph of the site and surrounding properties. FIGURE 1 - LOCATION PLAN 1955 SUBJECT 1885 LAND 1 1884 1011 28 GERALDTON Source: DoP, Planwest, and Landgate, 2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Geraldton-Greenough Page 3 Local Planning Scheme No 5 Amendment No 2 FIGURE 2 - AERIAL PHOTOGRAH OF THE LOCALITY SUBJECT LAND Source: DoP, Planwest, and Landgate, 2010 3 SITE DESCRIPTION Although the subject land is composed of two lots (Lots 1 and 52); the whole 'design area' includes surrounding land to provide a planning context for a wider area. As previously mentioned, the total lot area is about 416 hectares - although a substantial amount of this area includes the flat tops and side slopes of the Moresby Ranges (more than 110 hectares from Lot 52). The subject land is currently farmed (see Figure 2) as is the surrounding privately owned rural farmland. Land north of Fairfax Road is developed with existing rural-residential lots. The land to the west of the subject land is zoned 'development' to cater for more intensive development associated with the Woorree New Town project. The land is currently used for livestock grazing and farming and has been completely cleared. Only a small length of the tributary on Lot 52 has some shrub vegetation. Other than the Moresby Ranges (over 180m) the land slopes from the foothills of the Ranges from a height of about 100m down towards the west to about 40m. This slope of about 60m occurs over a distance of more than 1.5 kilometres. 4 STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENT There are several levels of strategic plans to be considered in the development of larger land parcels in the State. Two of these levels include the State Planning Strategy and the Local Planning Strategy. In addition to these strategies there is the Moresby Range Management Plan 2010 that focuses on a specific component within the local government area. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Geraldton-Greenough Page 4 Local Planning Scheme No 5 Amendment No 2 4.1 STATE PLANNING STRATEGY The State Planning Strategy is a high level strategic document that deals with the overall state and regional strategies, actions, priorities and visions for each region of the State through to 2029. By this time it is estimated that Western Australia will have a population of 2.7 million. The State Planning Strategy guides the future growth and development of Western Australia through to 2029. A rapidly growing population and close proximity to the Asian market are both seen as key factors to the development of Western Australia. Priorities and purposes for Strategic Region Schemes in Western Australia Location Priority Area Key Functions Geraldton City of Geraldton and parts of the Shires Secure ROS, industrial land, road of Greenough and Chapman Valley and rail routes Priority Actions to 2000 for the Mid-West Region included; Prepare Greater Geraldton statutory region scheme. Formalise the Geraldton region planning committee. Prepare Country Land Development Program for Geraldton. Secure an alternative major industrial site in the Mid-West Region. Summary of Regional vision Statements for the Mid West include; Diversification of economic base in agriculture, mining, fishing, downstream processing and tourism. Development of services and attractions at Geraldton to confirm its role as major centre north of Perth. Protection of coastal and marine environments. Maintenance and enhancement of vibrant, viable inland communities. The Strategy states that in the next three decades, the Mid-West Region will continue to diversify its economic base in the areas of agriculture, minerals development, downstream processing of commodities and tourism. Geraldton will develop as the largest regional centre north of Perth, offering a wide range of facilities and attractions. The State Planning Strategy identifies the continued development of Geraldton as one of its main strategies for the Mid-West Region. As is evident, some of these actions have been achieved, or are in the process of being achieved. 4.2 LIVEABLE NEIGHBOURHOODS (2007) Liveable Neighbourhoods was prepared by the WA Planning Commission to implement the objectives of the State Planning Strategy that aims to guide the sustainable development of Western Australia to 2029. The principal aim of Liveable Neighbourhoods is to provide for walkable neighbourhood clusters located around town centres of compatible mixed uses in order to reduce car dependence and foster a strong local identity. In order to implement these principles, district structure plans should generally show: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Geraldton-Greenough Page 5 Local Planning Scheme No 5 Amendment No 2 neighbourhoods as represented by approximate circles of 400-450 metre radius, together with town and neighbourhood centres; medium density residential; existing and proposed neighbourhood centres; arterial routes and neighbourhood connector streets; natural features such as water courses and vegetation; major open spaces and parkland; major public transport routes and facilities; proposed land use distribution; and proposed schools and community facilities. The planning principles promoted in Liveable Neighbourhoods are generally supported, with the concept of neighbourhood and/or district centres providing goods and services to residents within the surrounding catchment area. 4.3 GERALDTON REGION PLAN - 1999 The Geraldton Region Plan was adopted in 1999 by the WA Planning Commission. It recognised the background and history of previous region plans for Geraldton. However, these plans had primarily focussed on the broader Geraldton area and development issues in more regional areas based on a need to provide guidance for government agencies and the private sector. The Geraldton Region Plan supports regionalisation and decentralisation of urban and industrial development in Western Australia and provides a framework for the future management, protection and co-ordination of regional planning in the area. The plan is strategic in nature and has a 20 to 30 year time horizon. The plan addresses the principles outlined in the State Planning Strategy in terms of regional development, community development, natural and cultural environment, economic development and infrastructure. The Geraldton Region Plan relies on local investigations, strategies and town planning schemes to facilitate its implementation as it is not a statutory or zoning plan. The structure plan will recognise the requirements and objectives of the Geraldton Region Plan in terms of its implementation and strategies for the growth of the study area. 4.4 GREATER GERALDTON STRUCTURE PLAN Part three of the Geraldton Region Plan specifically addresses Geraldton as the regional centre and development of areas immediately around it. The Greater Geraldton Structure Plan focuses on the City of Geraldton, and portions of the Shire of Greenough and Shire of Chapman Valley. The Greater Geraldton Region is the focus of commercial and administrative activities for the Mid-West Region. The Greater Geraldton Structure Plan provides a framework for co- ordinating development of the broader area and identifies a range of land use designations for the study area. As Figure 3 shows, the subject land has been designated as Future Urban. The land immediately to the west of the subject land is Urban to cater for the Woorree New Town development. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Geraldton-Greenough Page 6 Local Planning Scheme No 5 Amendment No 2 FIGURE 3 - EXTRACT FROM GREATER GERALDTON STRUCTURE PLAN (2010) SUBJECT LAND Source: WAPC, 2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Geraldton-Greenough Page 7 Local Planning Scheme No 5 Amendment No 2 The Greater Geraldton Structure Plan also provides a basis for: preparation of district and local structure plans to ensure the co-ordination and integrated provision of urban services and infrastructure;

Geraldton Region Plan - June 1999 iii GeraldtonMinister’s Foreword The Geraldton Region Plan is one of a number of regional strategic plans produced by the Western Australian Planning Commission for the management of growth of regional Western Australia. It has been produced to provide a regional framework for planning decisions, and builds on previous plans for the region. The plan recognises Geraldton as the regional centre for the Mid-West and emphasises that role within the region as well as its role within the State. The Region Plan incorporates the principles of the State Planning Strategy and identifies areas which should be the focus of future planning. A coordinated approach by local government, the State and the private sector is required to address regional land use issues including matters related to port, industry and transport networks. The Region Plan is flexible and includes options which allow the opportunity to accommodate change.
