North Perth Town Centre Planning Framework

This phase of the consultation is now closed.

The City of Vincent is developing a Planning Framework for the North Perth Town Centre and is asking the community to share their thoughts for this area.

Opportunities to participate include community workshops and online survey - see below for more information.

Background

Private development in North Perth is guided by the City’s Local Planning Scheme No. 2. and Policy No. 7.1.1 Built Form while improvements to the public realm are guided by the North Perth Place Plan.

Vincent is preparing a planning framework for the North Perth Town Centre to guide its future development. The plan will consider everything from the seating options, bike racks and paving, through to land use and the scale and design of new buildings on private land.

The North Perth Town Centre includes:

• Fitzgerald Street between Menzies Street and Chelmsford Road
• Angove Street between Fitzgerald Street and Daphne Street
• View Street between Fitzgerald Street and Olive Street.

North Perth Town Centre

It will also look at how the commercial lots of the North Perth Town Centre interact with the adjacent residential neighbourhoods of North Perth.

The study area has pockets zoned Mixed-use, District Centre, Commercial and Residential in the City’s Local Planning Scheme No. 2.

The residential coding of this area permits medium (R40) to high (R-AC3) density development. This means a variety of land uses with varying scales can operate from this area.

Project details

The aim of this project is to guide future development for the North Perth Town Centre. We are asking the community to help shape what that should look like.

A Planning Framework and Place Plan are being prepared, which means that there will be one document to look at for all development within the North Perth Town Centre.

The framework will consider each of the priorities listed in the Strategic Community Plan but is not limited by that.

Opportunities to participate include workshops and information sessions, as well as the surveys below.

There is a community workshop being held on two separate nights to allow for more flexibility with attendance. They will follow the same format so you will only need to attend one. These are:

• Wednesday 17 April, 6pm - 8.30pm at North Perth Lesser Hall
• Monday 22 April, 6pm - 8.30pm at North Perth Town Hall

You can register your attendance using the form below.

Share your thoughts

Help us shape the planning framework for the North Perth Town Centre by telling us what matters to you most. The main survey is quite in-depth and will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.

If you don't have enough time but would still like to have your say, you can complete our short survey - see links to both below.

You can also contact us in any of the following ways:

• By phone 9273 6000
• By email mail@vincent.wa.gov.au
• In person at the City of Vincent Administration Building, 244 Vincent Street (corner Loftus Street), Leederville (during business hours)
• In writing, by mail to PO Box 82, Leederville, 6902

Hard copy surveys are available on request.

Consultation closed 4pm Friday, 3 May 2024.

What will happen next?

Feedback will be reviewed, and a planning framework developed.

There will then be further opportunities to let us know if we heard what was said, and if we got the framework right.

Once a draft is developed, a report will be presented to Council for endorsement to formally advertise.

If you provide your contact details when completing the survey, you will be notified when the report will be considered by Council. Anyone is welcome to attend the Council Briefing and Council Meeting to ask questions or comment on the proposal.
