Town Planning Scheme

Town Planning Scheme 6

The City of South Perth Town Planning Scheme 6 sets out the way land is to be used and developed, classifies areas for land use and includes provisions to coordinate infrastructure within the local government area. The scheme is divided into two parts:

The scheme maps and height plans which set out the zoning, coding and maximum heights for each property; and,
The scheme text which sets out the specific development controls which apply to each property.

In 2017 the City commenced a review of Town Planning Scheme 6. The report to Council recommended the City prepare a Local Planning Strategy and review Town Planning Scheme 6 in order to prepare a new Local Planning Scheme.
