Development Proposals before the State Administrative Tribunal Policy – Current Policy
Revised Development Proposals Before the State Administrative Tribunal Local Planning Policy
The City has received the draft Sorrento Precinct Structure Plan prepared by Planning Solutions on behalf of the landowners.
In accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, the proposed Sorrento Precinct Structure Plan is to be advertised for public comment for 42 days, from Thursday 14 July to Friday 26 August 2022.
The State Development Assessment Unit (SDAU) are simultaneously considering a development proposal at the subject site. As both the draft Sorrento Precinct Structure Plan and the development proposal are required to be advertised, concurrent consultation is being undertaken jointly by the City and the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage on both proposals.
Information and documentation, including FAQs and the online submission form, is available via the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage consultation hub.
Please note that the City has not prepared the draft Sorrento Precinct Structure Plan, the proposal is yet to be assessed by the City, and the advertising of the proposal does not indicate support or otherwise for the draft Sorrento Precinct Structure Plan.
All enquiries should be made to the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage on 6551 9450 in the first instance. Enquiries pertaining to the precinct structure plan document will be redirected to the City.
A public notice is a statutory mechanism prescribed under the Western Australian Local Government Act 1995. There are a variety of matters for which the City must publish a public notice, including for the review of local laws, disposal of property, and local government elections, amongst others.
Some matters require the City simply to advertise, and some matters require the City to accept submissions from the public. Where submissions from the public are sought, the City is also guided by its Community Consultation Council Policy.
The timeframes for delivering public notices are prescribed under the Act and differ depending on the matter at hand.
For matters not prescribed under the Act, the City uses the most appropriate communication methodology to reach the stakeholder(s) identified. For upcoming public works, the City is guided by its Notification of Public Works Council Policy.
The purpose of this project is to complete the missing 3.5 km section of dual use path between Burns Beach and Mindarie which includes sections of path adjacent to Burns Beach Estate in the south and Catalina Estate in the north. Once all three sections are completed, the path will create a continuous route from North Fremantle to Jindalee.
2.8km of the Burns Beach to Mindarie dual use path has now been completed with funding provided by the Western Australian Planning Commission, Tamala Park Regional Council, City of Wanneroo and City of Joondalup. The path is accessible from the end of Long Beach Promenade in Mindarie – please be respectful of local residents by using the available on street parking.
The southern section adjacent to Burns Beach Estate (approximately 700m) is still to be constructed by Peet Limited. While all stakeholders are working to deliver the full link, until this section is completed there is no access through to Burns Beach.
For further information, please review the Frequently Asked Questions and Location Map, or contact the Infrastructure Services Customer Relations Team.
