Public Notice

The City of Armadale is currently preparing a new land use planning strategy that will guide future planning, development and land use change over the next 20 years and beyond. It will also set out the City's approach to managing its environmental land resources to cater for the sixty thousand new residents expected to live in the City of Armadale over the next 29 years.

The new Local Planning Strategy (LPS 2024) will set out the City's strategies, objectives and actions and guide its future planning directions. By 2051 the State Government's planning frameworks and policies are expected to see the City's population swell from the current 98,000 to over 151,000 residents.  The new LPS 2024 is also the first step towards zoning the land for new business and industrial opportunities that will provide employment for the City's residents, in addition to the new residential areas, recreation facilities and local parks where residents will enjoy the benefits of everything the City of Armadale has to offer.

Following State Government endorsement of the new Local Planning Strategy (2024), the City will prepare and advertise a new Town Planning Scheme No.5 providing the detailed zoning maps and planning rules that implement the planning directions provided in the LPS (2024) strategy document.

Imagine Armadale 20 years from now? - Community Engagements to prepare New Local Planning Strategy (LPS)

The City conducted an online community survey and hosted 4 community workshops in May to July 2022 to capture the community's vision and aspirations and guide the LPS that will shape future land use, development and economic opportunities for the next 20 years. These were followed by 4 Community Open Days (displays) at major shopping centres in September to provide the Armadale community with a further opportunity to identify planning directions, visions and values to inform the preparation of the draft new LPS. The “Vision, Values and Objectives Community Engagement Report” together with more information about the new Local Planning Strategy and the Town Planning Scheme preparation projects is available here: https://www.armadale.wa.gov.au/new-local-planning-strategy-2024.
