The Metropolitan Region Scheme What it is and how it is amended - minor

Planning Perth’s future

Perth is currently home to more than 2 million people and this is anticipated to grow to 3.5 million by 2050. To meet this growth, land must be identified for future housing, employment opportunities, transport, conservation and recreation. The Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) provides for this by defining what land can be used for. It is also the means by which landowners can be compensated for land acquired for public purposes. The role of the WAPC?

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has statewide responsibility for planning how land in metropolitan and regional areas can be used and developed. The WAPC comprises a Chair and 16 members, representing industry, government and the community. The WAPC is a statutory authority and operates in accordance with the Planning and Development Act 2005. It is supported by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, which provides professional and technical expertise, administrative services and corporate resources. What is the Metropolitan Region Scheme?

The MRS is a large town planning scheme which defines how land can be used in the Perth metropolitan area, dividing it into broad zones and reservations. The metropolitan area stretches from south of Rockingham to north of Yanchep and east of Mundaring. The MRS uses a set of maps and a scheme text to set the planning rules and identify the various zones and reservations. This plan has been in operation since 1963 and provides the legal basis for planning in the Perth metropolitan area.

The MRS is amended frequently as the region grows and changes. What is an amendment?

An amendment to the MRS changes the zoning or reservation of land to allow for a different land use. When a rezoning or a new reservation is considered, it is classified as either a major or a minor amendment and is advertised to seek comment from landowners, the broader community and all levels of government. Under the Act, the process for proposed major and minor amendments is different. This process allows for extensive community consultation and discussion in Parliament, prior to a final decision being made. How is the Metropolitan Region Scheme amended?

The WAPC is responsible for maintaining the MRS, including reviewing and initiating changes where necessary. The amendment process is regulated by the Planning and Development Act 2005. The Act requires an amendment to be consistent with both the Swan River Trust Act 1988 and the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990 and does not allow for an amendment to occur within the defined area of which a redevelopment scheme applies. The amendment proposed in this report is being made under the provisions of section 57 (often referred to as a minor amendment). The minor amendment process includes (also see the diagram on page viii): • Request submitted and considered by the

WAPC.

• WAPC determines to either progress or reject application, classifying it as either a major or minor amendment.

vi

• If progressed, the application is referred to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) to set the level of environmental assessment. If the EPA requires an environmental review, this is carried out before the amendment is advertised.

• Consent by the Minister for Planning to call for submissions.

• Proposed amendment is advertised for

public comment. Advertisements are placed in local and statewide newspapers and the information is made available on www.dplh.wa.gov.au/mrs-amendments. Landowners directly affected by a proposed amendment are contacted in writing. Where there is an environmental review, this is also made available for comment.

• WAPC receives public submissions over a

period of 60 days. • WAPC reviews the proposed amendment

in light of both the submissions and planning advice provided by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.

• WAPC provides recommendation to the

Minister for Planning whether to accept, reject or modify the proposed amendment.

• Minister considers proposed amendment.

• If approved, with or without modification,

the amendment becomes legally effective in the MRS with the publishing of a notice in the Government Gazette. If declined, the amendment is discarded.

• Within three months of an MRS

amendment being finalised, all affected local governments must initiate an amendment to its local planning scheme to match the new zonings.

Zones and reservations

Zones and reservations in the MRS are broad categories to define how land can be used and developed. The following descriptions are a guide only.

Zones

Urban: areas in which a range of activities are undertaken including residential, commercial, recreational and light industry. Urban deferred: land identified for future urban uses following the extension of urban services, the progressive development of adjacent urban areas, and resolution of any environmental and planning requirements relating to development. The WAPC must be satisfied that these issues have been addressed before rezoning to urban. Central city area: strategic regional centres for major retail, commercial and office facilities as well as employment, civic, business and residential uses. Industrial and special industrial: land on which manufacturing, processing, warehousing and related activities are undertaken. Rural: land on which a range of agricultural, extractive and conservation uses is undertaken. Private recreation: areas of significance to the region’s recreation resource, which are (or are proposed to be) managed by the private sector. Rural - water protection: rural land over public groundwater areas where land use is controlled to avoid contamination. Reservations

Land reserved for community purposes. It may be reserved to protect a resource or to provide areas for infrastructure. Parks and recreation: land of regional significance for ecological, recreation or landscape purposes. Railways: provides for public transit routes, freight rail lines and associated facilities such as marshalling yards, maintenance depots and park n’ ride stations.

http://www.dplh.wa.gov.au/mrs-amendments

vii

Port installations: regional maritime shipping facilities. State forests: areas of woodland located on Crown land and managed under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984. Water catchments: water sources protected for high quality public water supply. These areas have strict controls on land use to avoid pollution of the water resource. Civic and cultural: significant civic precincts and buildings. Waterways: permanent inland and coastal waters including many rivers and reservoirs. Public purposes: land for public facilities such as hospitals, high schools, universities, prisons, utilities for electricity, water and treatment of wastewater, commonwealth government and other special uses. Primary regional roads: important regionally significant roads as part of the planned road network that are currently, or proposed to be declared, under the Main Roads Act 1930. Other regional roads: roads of regional significance in the planned road network for which the planning responsibilities are shared by the WAPC and local governments. What if my land is rezoned?

Landowners may find that an amendment seeks to rezone their property, for example from rural to urban or urban deferred. If the zoning is changed, landowners do not have to change their lifestyle or the way they use the land. However, depending on the new zone, there may be opportunities to change the land use, such as seek approval to subdivide or apply to develop it in some way that suits the new zoning. The WAPC realises that many people choose their properties because they like them as they are and may not want to change from, for example, a rural-residential lifestyle to an urban area. Others are keen to change the land use.

For these reasons, amendments to the MRS are advertised so that all affected landowners and the broader community have time to examine the proposal and provide their comment. What if my land is reserved?

Land is reserved because it will eventually be needed for a public purpose such as parks and recreation or other regional roads. If your land is proposed to be reserved in an advertised amendment, you can continue to use and enjoy your property. Generally, reserved land can remain in private ownership until it is needed for the purpose for which it is reserved. To protect landowners, there are procedures for acquisition or compensation by the WAPC. These are outlined in Your Property and the planning system – region schemes, a leaflet reproduced at the back of this report and online at https://www.dplh.wa.gov.au/your-property-and-region-schemes. How can my views be heard?

You can lodge a submission during the advertised period: • online at www.dplh.wa.gov.au/mrs-

amendments. • in writing to Western Australian Planning

Commission, Level 2, 140 William Street, Perth 6000 (a submission form is included at the back of this report).

Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment 1356/57

Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority Normalisation Central Perth and Subiaco

Amendment Report

1 Purpose The purpose of this amendment is to re-establish the various zones and reservations in the central districts of the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) to zone and reserve portions of the land currently under the planning control of Development WA (formerly the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority), pursuant to the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority Act 2011 (MRA Act). Proposals within the amendment will facilitate the future ‘normalisation’ of the land, when planning control is transferred from Development WA to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and the relevant local government, and is principally an administrative process. The proposed zones and reservations are consistent with the existing land uses and Development WA’s statutory planning framework for the land. The amendment contains seven separate proposals in the Cities of Perth, Subiaco and Vincent and the Town of Cambridge 2 Background Development WA is currently undertaking a review of its project portfolio in order to identify project areas or precincts where the Development WA's objectives and functions have been substantially completed. Development WA is then preparing to return statutory planning and other functions for these areas to the WAPC, the local government or other relevant authority, through a process referred to as ‘normalisation'. The Central Perth and Subiaco Redevelopment Areas were initially created under legacy legislation (East Perth Redevelopment Act 2001 and Subiaco Redevelopment Act 1994) that repealed the MRS when the redevelopment area was created. The introduction of these Acts enabled the introduction of a redevelopment scheme and other statutory planning documents (statutory planning framework) to facilitate its redevelopment. As a result, when Development WA normalises an area and seeks to establish the normal statutory planning framework (i.e. region and local planning schemes) there is no MRS zoning to be revived/reinstated. The MRA Act provides the process for removing land from redevelopment areas through amendment of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority Regulations 2011 (MRA Regulations), as well as processes for amendment of local government planning schemes. However, the MRA Act does not provide a process for reinstatement or amendment of the MRS at the time of normalisation. As a result, an MRS amendment is required to be undertaken. In the Central Perth and Subiaco Redevelopment Areas, normalisation will be completed in stages over a number of years, as Development WA substantially completes its redevelopment function. However, given the timing and resources required, this amendment covers the majority of the Central Perth and Subiaco Redevelopment Areas. Therefore, the

2

MRS amendment, once finalised, will take effect in stages as Development WA works with the local government to transfer planning control and other powers for substantially complete precincts. The amendment to the MRS has been prepared in accordance with section 35 of the Planning and Development Act 2005 (P&D Act), to re-establish appropriate zoning and reservations across the identified areas of the Central Perth and Subiaco Redevelopment Areas, consistent with approved development and/or the existing Development WA’s statutory planning framework. In accordance with section 36 of the P&D Act and section 58 of the MRA Act, the intent is that the MRS amendment is completed and progressively takes effect as redevelopment area precincts are normalised through the amendment of the MRA Regulations and local planning scheme. For further information on Development WA’s planning documents associated with the proposed normalisation areas, refer to: www.mra.wa.gov.au. 3 Scope and content of the amendment The amendment proposes the following rezonings: City of Subiaco and Town of Cambridge Proposal 1 Subiaco Central: To rezone the portions of land between Railway Road, Hay Street, Bishop Street and Salvado Road to Urban, and reserve the portion of Hay Street between Troy Terrace and Stubbs Terrace as Other Regional Roads (Figure 1). The land is to be rezoned to reflect the existing and future residential and commercial land uses which are consistent with an Urban zoning under the MRS. The Hay Street Other Regional Roads reservation is consistent with the existing cadastral boundaries of the road reserve. City of Perth Proposal 2 To rezone the portions of land between the Mitchell Freeway and Perth Station to Central City Area and reserve the portion of the Mitchell Freeway as Primary Regional Roads (Figure 2). The land is to be rezoned to reflect the existing and future commercial and civic land uses which are consistent with a Central City Area zoning under the MRS. The land is to be reserved to reflect the existing cadastral boundaries of the road and railway (above ground) reservations. Proposal 3 To reserve the portion of Riverside Drive north of Lot 642 (Reserve 13012) as Other Regional Roads, reserve the portion of land adjacent the river foreshore (Lot 642 (Reserve 13012)) as Parks and Recreation, reserve the Swan River waterbody (part Lot 301, Lot 504 and Lot 8005) as Waterways, and to rezone the remaining portion of land subject to the MRA Act to Central City Area (Figure 3).

The land is to be rezoned to reflect the existing and future commercial and civic land uses which are consistent with a Central City Area zoning under the MRS. The land is to be reserved to reflect the existing cadastral boundaries of the road and foreshore, consistent with the adjoining reservation. The Waterways reservation is consistent with the existing cadastral boundaries of the waterbody associated with Elizabeth Quay. Proposal 4 To reserve Lot 500 (Claisebrook Station) as Railways, reserve Lots 6-9, 20, 1051 (Reserve 42890) and 1238 (Reserve 42889) as Public Purposes – Technical School and to rezone the remaining portion of land to Urban (Figure 4). The land is to be rezoned to reflect the existing and future commercial and civic land uses which are consistent with an Urban zoning under the MRS. The land is to be reserved to reflect the existing rail infrastructure associated with Claisebrook Station and the East Perth TAFE operations. Proposal 5 To reserve part Lot 500 and abutting railway land to the north (East Perth Station) as Railways, reserve the portion of land adjacent to the river foreshore (part Lot 500), portion of Lot 0 and portion of Summers Street as Parks and Recreation, reserve the Swan River waterbody (part Lot 302) as Waterways, reserve the intersection of East Parade and Summers Street and portion of Lot 500 as Primary Regional Roads, and to rezone the remaining portion of land subject to the MRA Act to Urban (Figure 5). The land is to be rezoned to reflect the existing and future residential, commercial and civic land uses and long term anticipated uses which are consistent with an Urban zoning under the MRS. The land is to be reserved to reflect the existing rail infrastructure associated with East Perth Station and existing cadastral boundaries of the roads and foreshore, consistent with the adjoining reservations. The Waterways reservation is consistent with the existing cadastral boundaries of the Swan River. Proposal 6 To reserve Lot 1233 (Queens Gardens) as Parks and Recreation, reserve the portion of land adjacent to the river foreshore (Lot 556) and a portion of Trinity Avenue as Parks and Recreation, reserve portions of Hay Street, Adelaide Terrace, Riverside Drive, the Causeway, part Lot 301, part Lot 1160, part Lot 13598 and as Primary Regional Roads, reserve the Swan River waterbody (part Lot 301) as Waterways, and to rezone the remaining portion of land subject to the MRA Act to Central City Area (Figure 6). The land is to be rezoned to reflect the existing and future residential, commercial and civic land uses which are consistent with a Central City Area zoning under the MRS. The land is to be reserved to reflect the existing cadastral boundaries of the roads, Queens Gardens and foreshore, consistent with the adjoining reservations. The Waterways reservation is consistent with the existing cadastral boundaries of the Swan River. Cities of Perth and Vincent Proposal 7 To reserve the portions of land bounded by Beaufort Street, William Street and north of Newcastle Street (inclusive of) to Urban, reserve Lot 510 (Cultural Centre), portion

4

of Francis Street and Roe Street as Civic and Cultural, reserve Lots 301, 302, 402, 410, 502 (Reserve 37585), 802, 803, 804, 805, 806, 807, 808, 1286 (Reserve 37585), 1306 (Perth Northbridge TAFE), Y64, Y65 as Public Purposes - Technical School purposes, reserve portion of Roe Street as Public Purposes - Special Uses, reserve portions of Beaufort Street between Parry Street and Newcastle Street and the intersection of William Street and Newcastle Street as Other Regional Roads, and rezone the remaining portions of land to Central City Area (Figure 7). The land is to be rezoned to reflect the existing and future residential, commercial and civic land uses which are consistent with an Urban and Central City Area zoning under the MRS. The land is to be reserved to reflect the existing cadastral boundaries of the road reservations of Beaufort Street and Newcastle/William Streets. The Public Purposes - Technical School reservation is consistent with the Perth (Northbridge) TAFE operations and the Public Purposes - Special Uses reserve is associated with the Perth Station and consistent with the adjoining reservation. 4 Aboriginal heritage The Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (AHA) provides for the protection and preservation of Aboriginal heritage and culture throughout Western Australia, including places and objects that are of significance to Aboriginal people. Aboriginal sites and materials are protected whether or not they have been previously recorded or reported. The process of rezoning or reservation of land in a region scheme is not in itself directly affected by the AHA. Proposed changes to land-use at the MRS amendment stage are broad by nature and do not physically interfere with the land. Consideration of any protection that may be required is addressed more specifically at later stages of the planning process, typically being a local planning scheme amendment and when preparing a local structure plan. Proponents of proposals are advised to familiarise themselves with the State's Cultural Heritage Due Diligence Guidelines (the Guidelines). These have been developed to assist proponents identify any risks to Aboriginal heritage and to mitigate risk where heritage sites may be present. The Guidelines are available electronically at: https://www.dplh.wa.gov.au/information-and-services/aboriginal-heritage/land-use-under-the-aha/aboriginal-heritage-surveys. Nevertheless, in recognising the importance of having reliable Aboriginal information on land and the values attached to it, the WAPC and the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) for the provision of Aboriginal consultative services. All MRS amendment proposals likely to be of interest to Aboriginal persons are referred to SWALSC for comment before being released for public submission. The SWALSC is the recognised Native Title Representative Body for Western Australia’s southwest region and as such is well placed to provide advice on Aboriginal heritage. This amendment was not referred to SWALSC as it was not expected to impact on Aboriginal heritage values. However, the amendment will be referred to SWALSC during the public advertising period.

5 Coordination of region and local scheme amendments Under section 126(3) of the P&D Act, the WAPC has the option of concurrently rezoning land being zoned Urban under the MRS to an “Urban Development” zone or similar. However, section 58 of the MRA Act allows a Local Planning Scheme (LPS) to be prepared or amended in accordance with the P&D Act in preparation of the redevelopment scheme ceasing to apply when the subject land is removed from a redevelopment area by amendment of the MRA Regulations. The amended LPS comes into operation when the redevelopment scheme ceases to apply. Alternatively, section 57 of the MRA Act allows the Minister for Planning, while an approved redevelopment scheme is in effect, to publish in the Government Gazette a notice amending a LPS, so that it is consistent with the redevelopment scheme. Development WA, in consultation with the local government and the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage will determine the most appropriate mechanism to support the normalisation of discrete areas and ensure the LPS reflects the MRS, as required. 6 Substantiality The P&D Act allows for amendments to the MRS to be processed as either major or minor amendments depending on whether they are considered to constitute a substantial alteration to the MRS. Development Control Policy 1.9 - Amendment to Region Schemes sets out the criteria for deciding whether the major or minor process should be followed. The criteria outlined in the Development Control Policy 1.9 relate to a variety of matters, not all of which relate to every amendment. In this regard, the amendment is proposed to be processed as “minor” amendment as follows: • In accordance with Part 5 of the MRA Act, the permissible development, land uses and

reserves within Development WA’s project area and precinct have already been subject to comprehensive statutory processes administered by Development WA. These statutory processes have included consideration by the EPA, State and local government authorities, landowners, the general public, the WAPC and the Minister for Planning.

• The suitability of the subject land for development and the use of land within the

Central Perth and Subiaco Redevelopment Areas has already been defined by a planning scheme (the Central Perth and Subiaco Redevelopment Schemes) and numerous statutory planning instruments adopted under the provisions of the Scheme. In addition, most project areas within the Central Perth and Subiaco Redevelopment Areas have experienced partial or full redevelopment, in accordance with the permissible land uses under the Scheme.

• The extent and nature of each proposal is consistent with the existing planning

framework established by Development WA, which is have been subject to public consultation and is considered to be administrative in nature.

6

7 Sustainability appraisal Due to the small scale of the proposals in this amendment, there are no significant sustainability impacts. However, Development WA administers a Green Building Development Policy in each of its redevelopment areas, which requires all new buildings and precincts to have sustainable design and construction. 8 Environmental Protection Authority advice The proposed amendment was referred to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for advice on whether environmental assessment would be required. The EPA has advised that the proposed amendment does not require formal assessment under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. A copy of the notice from the EPA is included at appendix A. 9 The amendment process The procedures for amending the MRS are prescribed by the P&D Act. The amendment proposed in this report is being made under the provisions of section 57 of that Act. In essence, the procedure for an amendment not constituting a substantial alteration to the MRS (often referred to as a minor amendment) involves: • formulation of the amendment by the WAPC; • referral to the EPA for environmental assessment; • completion of an environmental review (if required) to EPA instructions; • public submissions sought on the proposed amendment (including environmental

review if required); • consideration of submissions; • approval, with or without any modifications in response to submissions, or decline to

approve by the Minister; and • the amendment takes legal effect with gazettal of the Minister's approval. An explanation of this process entitled The Metropolitan Region Scheme, what it is and how it is amended, can also be found in the front of this report. 10 Submissions on the amendment The WAPC invites people to comment on this proposed amendment to the MRS. The amendment will be advertised for public submissions from Friday 6 December 2019 to Friday 28 February 2020.

Appendix C

Your property and the planning system – region schemes

Region schemes The WAPC administers three region schemes which classify land into zones and reservations: • Metropolitan Region Scheme• Peel Region Scheme• Greater Bunbury Region Scheme.Zones are large areas identified for purposes such as industry (industrial zone) and residential (urban zone).

Reservations are required for public purposes such as schools, railways, major roads, and parks and recreation.

How do you amend a region scheme? Schemes can be amended as regions grow and change. This process begins with the local government, landowner, State Government or WAPC making a request to amend a scheme. The WAPC considers the request and can either refuse or approve the initiation of an amendment.

The amendment process is lengthy and in general, takes between 12 to 24 months to complete and includes extensive consultation with landowners and the broader community. In some cases amendments are subject to assessment by the Environmental Protection Authority. Amendments can be classified as Major or Minor, in accordance with DevelopmentControl Policy 1.9 – Amendment to Region Schemes.

Planning Control Area In some instances, the WAPC will use a planning control area (PCA) to protect land required for a particular purpose from development until it may be reserved in one of the region schemes. A PCA acts in a similar manner as a region scheme but can be applied as a temporary measure to enable an amendment to be progressed. This also provides affected landowners with rights to claim compensation while a decision is made to reserve land or not. A PCA is valid for up to five years.

This means the WAPC is the decision-making authority for any development applications on land within a PCA. A person must not commence and carry out development within the PCA area without the prior approval of the WAPC. There are penalties for failure to comply with this requirement.

Your property and the planning system – region schemesRights to compensation in relation to reserved land

The same compensation and alternative purchase rules apply as with a region scheme. However, if compensation is paid and the PCA or reservation is reduced or removed in the future, the compensation is repayable in whole or part upon the subsequent sale or subdivision of the property.

What if your land is proposed to be reserved?The WAPC approaches landowners on land proposed to be reserved and invites them to comment through the amendment process.

The Government will ultimately acquire reserved land, but as the reservations are strategic and long-term requirements, the land can generally remain in private ownership until it is needed for the public purpose. Several options are available to the owners of reserved land: • Retain ownership of your property and

continue quiet enjoyment until it is needed forthe public purpose. You may complete anydevelopment or subdivision approved priorto the reservation taking effect. Under non-conforming use rights, you may continue touse the property for the purpose for which itwas legally being used immediately before thereservation came into effect.

• Sell the property on the open market toanother person(s). The WAPC recognises thatthe reservation may make this difficult. Subjectto acquisition priorities and the availability offunds, the WAPC would be willing to considerpurchasing a reserved property if an owner isunable to achieve a private sale on the openmarket. This does affect your right to otherwiseclaim statutory compensation (outlined in thecompensation section below).

• Offer the property for sale to the WAPC.Subject to acquisition priorities and the availabilityof funds, the WAPC would be willing to considerpurchasing a reserved property. The WAPCpurchases a property at its current marketvalue, ignoring the impact of the reservation andproposed public purpose. The WAPC obtains twoindependent valuations to provide it with adviceon the value of the property.

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has statewide responsibility for planning how land in metropolitan and regional areas can be used and developed. It does this by reserving and zoning land for immediate and future development through region schemes and/or planning control areas.

Am I entitled to claim compensation?If your land is reserved in a region scheme or subject to a PCA and you are the owner of the land when it was first reserved or the PCA was declared, you may be able to make a claim for compensation for injurious affection if:1. Private Sale – you sell the property on the

open market at a reduced price (due to theeffect of the reservation or PCA);or

2. Refused development – the WAPC has eitherrefused a development application over theproperty or approved it subject to conditionsthat are unacceptable to you.

What is injurious affection? Injurious affection occurs when the value of a piece of land is affected by the application of a reservation or restriction for a public purpose.

How do I claim compensation?1. Private saleIf you wish to sell your property on the open market at a reduced price (affected value), you will need to complete a Notice of Intention to Sell form, which is available online at www.dplh.wa.gov.au. The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage will establish the extent of the reservation and forward the notice to the Board of Valuers.

The Board of Valuers will determine the value of the property as if there was no reservation or PCA (unaffected value). You may wish to attend the board’s meeting to present any matters you believe are relevant to the value of your property.

Following the board’s decision:• The board will advise you of the unaffected value

of the property.• You pay the board’s valuation fee to the

department and you will be advised of theaffected value of the property (as determined bythe WAPC) – the minimum price for which youcan sell the property and receive the full amountof compensation (the difference between theaffected and unaffected values). The valuation feeis refundable upon the sale of the property andthe payment of compensation.

• You then arrange the sale of the property (eitherprivately or through an agent) – the sale pricemust not be less than the affected value.

You (and your agent) must inform prospective purchasers that you are selling the property at a reduced price and that you will be claiming compensation for injurious affection from the WAPC. You must also include a special condition in the offer and acceptance.

• After you sell the property, you can make a claimfor compensation for injurious affection throughthe WAPC within six months of the propertybeing sold (registered at Landgate).

• After the WAPC pays compensation, the WAPCwill lodge a notification on the Certificate of Titleto identify that it has paid compensation, which isonly payable once.

• If the property does not sell within one year ofthe board’s valuation, you may ask the board torevalue the property. The sale process is thenrepeated.

• Alternatively, you may wish to ask the WAPC topurchase the property, as you have been unableto sell it privately. The WAPC will purchase theproperty at its then fair market value (unaffectedvalue).

2. Refused developmentIf the WAPC refused your development application or approved it subject to unacceptable conditions, you may make a claim for compensation for injurious affection within six months of the WAPC’s decision.

The WAPC will either pay compensation or may elect to purchase the property instead of paying compensation. If the WAPC elects to purchase the property, it obtains valuations for the fair market value (unaffected value) as at the date of the election to purchase.

What is compulsory acquisition?If land is required for a reservation and has not been previously acquired or compensation has been claimed, the Government may compulsorily acquire the property. The WAPC will obtain independent valuations and make an offer of compensation, in accordance with the Land Administration Act 1997.

Appendix D

Preparing a submission

Preparing a submission The WAPC welcomes comment on proposed amendments to the MRS from interested individuals, groups and organisations. What is a submission?

A submission is a way to express your opinion and provide information. It is an opportunity to explain why the amendment should be supported, withdrawn or modified. Suggestions of alternative courses of action are also welcomed. Making a submission is not the same as voting in an election. The number of submissions received for or against a proposal will not in itself determine the result. Rather, it is the reasoned argument of why a particular thing should or should not be done. Your submission will assist the WAPC in reviewing its planning proposal before proceeding. Advertised proposals are often modified in response to the public submission process. What should I say? Your comments should focus on the particular issues that arise from the proposed amendment. If there are a number of components in the amendment, please indicate exactly which ones you are addressing. It is important that you state your point of view clearly and give reasons for your conclusions and recommendations. These may include an alternative approach or other ways for the WAPC to improve the amendment or make it more acceptable. Indicate the source of your information or argument where applicable. If you prefer not to write your own comments, you may consider joining a group interested in making a submission on similar issues. Joint submissions can increase the pool of ideas and information. Before lodging your submission Please remember to complete the submission form (form 57 – appendix E). Include your name and full postal address. It is preferred that any attachments be loose rather than bound. The closing date for submissions and where they should be lodged is shown on form 57 and in the submissions on the amendment section of the amendment report. Some amendments may be subject to an environmental review. Under these circumstances, the WAPC will forward a copy of any submission raising environmental issues to the EPA. You should be aware that all submissions lodged with the WAPC are subject to regulations on disclosure and access and will become a public document.
