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.
To amend reservations and zonings in the Metropolitan Region Scheme consistent with the Alkimos-Eglinton Structure Plan.
The main elements of the amendment with the potential to impact on the environment are:
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 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.
This is the EPA's assessment of the proposed Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) Amendment 1010/33 – Port Catherine. The Port Catherine MRS Amendment has been initiated by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) to facilitate the redevelopment of the former South Coogee industrial area into the Port Catherine marina and residential estate.
