Local Planning Strategy
The Cambridge Street Urban Corridor West precinct runs along Cambridge Street/Oceanic Drive from Sunnyside Road in Floreat, to Marlow Street in Wembley (refer to image below from the Local Planning Strategy).
The precinct was identified as an area for future development in the Town's Local Planning Strategy, with a dwelling estimate range of 325 to 450 additional dwellings, to contribute towards meeting the State Government's additional dwelling targets.
To assist with facilitating this increase, this project was endorsed as a priority project for the 2024/25 FY and includes preparing a background study (including on traffic and servicing) and community engagement workshops with residents and owners within or directly adjacent to the precinct.
The outcomes of these workshops have been used to prepare a draft concept plan for the precinct, which will be shown to the public for feedback at the upcoming Community 'drop-in' Open Session.
Following various reviews of the draft concept plan including after an Elected Member Forum, the consultant will finalise the precinct concept plan.
The Town will also use the feedback received from the community to inform and explore the planning framework required to assist with facilitating the proposed increase in development.
