Perth and Peel@3.5million

Overview

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is seeking public comment on the draft Perth and Peel@3.5million suite of strategic land use documents which provides options to accommodate 3.5 million people by 2050.

The suite consists of:

• the Perth and Peel@3.5million report that sets the planning context and provides a snapshot of where we are now and where we might be in the future

• four draft sub-regional planning frameworks for
  • Central
  • North-West
  • North-East
  • South Metropolitan Peel.

The draft documents set out where jobs and homes should be located, how we can protect important environmental assets and how we can best utilise existing infrastructure.

You are advised to read the draft documents before making a submission. All comments will be considered by the WAPC before the draft frameworks are finalised as sub-regional structure plans.
