The purpose of the Wungong Urban Water Redevelopment Scheme 2006 in broad terms is to provide for the orderly and proper control of development within the Scheme area. The Scheme area consists of approximately 1500 hectares (ha) of rural land in Brookdale. Most of the site is substantially cleared low lying palusplain with the Wungong River traversing the site. The site is mostly in the Southern River catchment of the Swan and Canning Rivers system. A small portion drains to the Birrega Main Drain in the Peel-Harvey catchment.
This scheme was previously known as the 'Brookdale Redevelopment Scheme 2005 Amendment 1 (Brookdale Master Plan)'
The Shire of Harvey proposes to amend District Planning Scheme No. 1 by rezoning Lot 5 Old Coast Road, Leschenault (Pt Loc 23, Plan 7938) from "Tourist" zone and "Recreation" reserve to "Residential Development" zone, "Tourist" zone and "Recreation and Conservation" reserve and "Modified Water Body". The land the subject of this scheme amendment comprises an area bounded by the Collie River, the Old Coast Road and the Leschenault Inlet. The land essentially forms the Point Douro peninsula on the north-eastern side of the Collie River Delta.
This assessment is of a scheme remitted by the Minister for the Environment for the EPA to assess management plans for acid sulphate soils more fully and to review conditions relating to flood regimes (previous assessment no. 1156).
The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), the Responsible Authority, proposes to reserve 201 hectares (ha) of Stakehill Swamp, Baldivis for Parks and Recreation (P&R) in the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS).
Stakehill Swamp is approximately 50 kilometres south-west of Perth in the City of Rockingham. It is bounded by Stakehill Road, Mandurah Road, Sixty Eight Road and Eighty Road and is south-east of Lake Cooloongup. It consists of 34 properties including land owned by the WAPC and in private ownership. The land surrounding Stakehill Swamp has been significantly cleared over time for agricultural purposes such as market gardening.
The Shire of Chapman Valley, the Responsible Authority, proposes to update its entire Local Planning Scheme (LPS).

The Greater Bunbury Region Scheme (GBRS) defines the broad pattern of land use for the City of Bunbury and the Shires of Harvey, Dardanup and Capel. The main purpose of the GBRS is to provide the statutory basis for implementing region plans such as the Bunbury - Wellington Region Plan (WAPC, 1995) and Greater Bunbury Structure Plan (WAPC, 1995) to ensure that regional facilities such as regional open space and regional roads are provided. The GBRS includes regional reservations and broad land use zones.

The Hope Valley Wattleup Redevelopment Project Master Plan is a scheme pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act 1986. In accordance with the requirements of the Hope Valley-Wattleup Redevelopment Act 2000, the scheme was referred to the EPA for the EPA to make a decision on whether or not to assess the scheme.
The Redevelopment Area is close to coastal industrial development that includes the Kwinana Industrial Area, Western Australia’s main heavy industry location. The Master Plan proposes a change in land use for the Redevelopment Area to predominantly industrial and commercial land uses. Current land uses are mixed and include two townsites, extractive industries, other industry, waste disposal, market gardens, turf farms, nurseries and other rural uses, rural residential, cleared land and bushland.
The Redevelopment Area is:
The City of Armadale’s Amendment No 143 to Town Planning Scheme No 2 proposes to rezone Part Lot 449 Taylor Road and Lot 501 Oxley Road, Forrestdale from “General Rural” to “Special Use-Rural/Residential”.
The amendment area is located in the City of Armadale on the Jandakot Groundwater Mound and west of Forrestdale Lake. Part of the Jandakot Botanic Park is located immediately to the north. The land is generally flat with a high water table, is mostly cleared and has been used predominantly for agricultural purposes.
Current land uses include a native flower farm on Lot 449 Oxley Road, horse training and agistment and hobby farming. A poultry farm located on Lot 434 Taylor Road (not part of the amendment) has approval to extend its operations and the capacity of five of the sheds will be increased by approximately 50%. The odour buffer will therefore need to be further extended to the south and west potentially affecting the possibility of subdivision on lots 6 & 7 Wolfe Road and Lot 432 Oxley Road.
