The City’s Strategic Planning Team monitors and reviews the compatibility, appropriateness and viability of current and future land use and developments.
The Local Planning Strategy is the overarching Planning Strategy guiding the City’s development and is generally required to be reviewed every five (5) years. The City is currently developing a number of sub-strategies to inform the City’s new Local Planning Strategy.
The Local Planning Strategy (LPS) enables Council to determine the vision and strategic planning direction for the City of Kalamunda for the next 20 years, to coincide with Directions 2031. The LPS is endorsed by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), and has been prepared after an assessment of all relevant State and Regional planning documents.
