The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has initiated Amendment 1395/57 to the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) to rezone land within Pt Lots 23 and 72 Eveline Road Middle Swan to enable a change in land use from the current brickworks to urban development. The proposed amendment area is 24.32ha and includes rezoning from ‘Rural’ and ‘Industrial’ to ‘Urban’, and rezoning from ‘Rural’ and ‘Industrial’ to ‘Parks and Recreation’ of land adjacent to the Swan River.
The amendment proposes a scheme text amendment to include ‘Industry’ as an additional discretionary use in the Rural Zone, in relation to Lots 40 & 41 Geraldton-Mt Magnet Road in Tenindewa, to facilitate the establishment of a vanadium processing facility.
The Shire of Toodyay proposes to replace its existing scheme 4 with an updated scheme 5.
