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.
The Western Australian Planning Commission proposes Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) Amendment 991/33 - South West Districts Omnibus (No. 3B) which comprises 23 proposed modifications to the MRS. The EPA determined that of these 23 proposals, four required Environmental Review, namely:
Proposal to rezone Part Lots 521 and 523 South Western Highway, Byford from "Rural" to "Residential", "Commercial", "Public Open Space Reserve", "Public and community Purpose Reserve" and "Mixed Use". The area is currently zoned "Urban" and "Urban Deferred" under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.
