Joondalup Activity Centre Plan

The Joondalup Activity Centre Plan (JACP) is a strategic planning document developed by the City of Joondalup, provides guidance on the development of the city centre over the next ten years, and was approved by the WAPC on 23 October 2018. The JACP has replaced the Joondalup City Centre Development Plan and Manual and the draft Joondalup City Centre Structure Plan. The JACP is split into six separate precincts:

  • City centre
  • Health and wellness
  • Learning and innovation
  • Joondalup edge
  • Joondalup west
  • Lakeside residential.

The development requirements are different in each precinct, taking into account the context, existing land uses and development potential. The JACP document comprises three parts, being:

  • Part One – Implementation that identifies the JACP area, objectives for each precinct and the development requirements.
  • Part Two – Explanatory Section provides a summary of the vision, context and technical analysis, providing the rationale for the development requirements contained within Part One.
  • Technical appendices:
    • Economic Development Plan
    • Transport Impact Assessment
    • Bushfire Management Plan

Building or starting a business in the Joondalup City Centre

If you are looking to start a business or building in the Joondalup City Centre, you will need to look at the requirements of the JACP. For example:

  • Moving into an existing tenancy may require you to get approval to change the land use, such as changing the use of a tenancy from restaurant to an office. Refer to Starting a Business for further information on approval requirements for starting a business.
  • Building in the Joondalup City Centre will require you to design in accordance with the development requirements for the precinct.

This includes standards that generally relate to:

  • Minimum and maximum building heights
  • Setback of the building to the street, side and rear lot boundaries
  • The minimum and maximum building height of any development
  • The amount of car parking required
  • Vehicle access points
  • Open space and landscaping
  • Street interface

For large scale developments, early engagement with the City’s Planning Services is encouraged.

Structure plans, activity centre plans and local development plans

A structure plan is a planning document consisting of text and maps which identifies how land is intended to be developed, and provides a broad framework to guide subdivision and development proposals.

An activity centre plan is a form of structure plan required specifically for certain types of activity centre as outlined in State Planning Policy 4.2 Activity Centres for Perth and Peel

In addition to illustrating details such as road configuration and the location facilities such as shops, schools and public open space, a structure plan or activity centre plan can also show details such as housing density and land use zones.

A structure plan or activity centre plan may also be supported by a local development plan, which provides specific development controls within the structure plan area.

Amendments to Structure plans, Activity Centre plans and Local Development plans

Amending a structure plan, activity centre plan or local development plan is a complex process. It is highly recommended that a planning consultant be engaged for initial advice and to prepare your submission should you want to proceed with an amendment. The submission requires specific details of how the relevant plan is to be amended, together with a thorough justification for the proposal. An application fee is also applicable, based on the complexity of the proposal.

Please refer to the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage Structure Plan framework (also used for Activity Centre Plans) or Local Development Plan framework for additional information.
