Introduction to Metropolitan Region Scheme major amendments
The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for keeping the
Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) under review and initiating changes where they are
seen as necessary.
The MRS sets out the broad pattern of land use for the whole Perth metropolitan region. The
MRS is constantly under review to best reflect regional planning and development needs.
A proposal to change land use reservations and zones in the MRS is regulated by the
Planning and Development Act 2005. That legislation provides for public submissions to be
made on proposed amendments.
For a substantial amendment, often referred to as a major amendment (made under section
41 of the Act), the WAPC considers all the submissions lodged, and publishes its
recommendations in a report on submissions. This report is presented to the Minister for
Planning and to the Governor for approval. Both Houses of Parliament must then scrutinise
the amendment before it can take legal effect.
In the process of making a substantial amendment to the MRS, information is published as a
public record under the following titles:
Amendment report
This document is available from the start of the public advertising period of the proposed
amendment. It sets out the purpose and scope of the proposal, explains why the
amendment is considered necessary, and informs people how they can comment through
the submission process.
Environmental review report
The Environmental Protection Authority must consider the environmental impact of an
amendment to the MRS before it can be advertised. Should it require formal assessment, an
environmental review is undertaken and made available for information and comment at the
same time as the amendment report.
Report on submissions
The planning rationale, determination of submissions and the recommendations of the
WAPC for final approval of the amendment, with or without modification, is documented in
this report.
Submissions
This document contains a reproduction of all written submissions received by the WAPC on
the proposed amendment.
Transcript of hearings
A person who has made a written submission may also choose to appear before a hearings
committee to express their views. The hearings proceedings are recorded and transcribed,
and the transcripts of all hearings are reproduced in this volume.

Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment 1240/41
1
Introduction
At its October 2012 meeting, the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC),
resolved to proceed with this amendment to the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) in
accordance with the provisions of Section 41 of the Planning and Development Act 2005.
2
The proposed amendment
The amendment proposal was described in the previously published Amendment Report,
and a description of the proposal is repeated below.
The purpose of the amendment is to transfer approximately 103.8 hectares of Rural zoned
land to the Industrial zone in the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS), generally bounded by
Tonkin Highway to the east and Rowley Road to the south.
The proposed Industrial zoning is intended to allow for primarily general/service industrial
development of the land as well as some commercial/showroom development following a
local scheme amendment, detailed structure planning and subdivision approval.
3
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 advised that the
proposed amendment does not require formal assessment under Part IV of the
Environmental Protection Act 1986. The EPA provided advice on wetlands, remnant
vegetation, management of water quality and quantity and buffers between incompatible
land uses which will need to be considered in the future planning stages.
A copy of the notice from the EPA was included in the previously published Amendment Report.
4
Call for submissions
The amendment was advertised for public submissions from 18 December 2012 to
22 March 2013.
The amendment was made available for public inspection during ordinary business hours at:
i)
Western Australian Planning Commission, 140 William Street, Perth;
ii)
the offices of the Cities of Perth, Fremantle, Armadale and the Shire of Serpentine
Jarrahdale; and
iii)
the State Reference Library, Northbridge.
1
During the public inspection period, notice of the amendment was published in The West
Australian and the Sunday Times newspapers and relevant local newspapers circulating in
the locality of the amendment.
5
Submissions
Fifteen submissions were received on the amendment. An alphabetic index of all the
persons and organisations lodging submissions is at Schedule 1.
Four submissions supported the amendment, three submissions objected to the amendment
and eight submissions contained general comments or otherwise indicated no objections to
the amendment.
The main issues raised in the submissions are discussed further in Section 7 below - "Main
Issues Raised in Submissions". A summary of each submission with WAPC comments and
determinations is at Schedule 2. A complete copy of all written submissions is contained in
this publication.
6
Hearings
Section 46 of the Planning and Development Act 2005 provides that each person who
makes a submission is to be offered the opportunity of being heard by a Committee formed
by the WAPC for that purpose. No hearings were requested during the submission period.
7
Main issues raised in submissions
7.1
Drainage Strategy
The Water Corporation has objected to the amendment until such time as a regional
drainage strategy is prepared and approved for the broader Mundijong Drainage
District, including regional groundwater and surface water modelling, to inform areas
suitable for development, fill conditions and changes in groundwater that may pose
risks to water quality.
The potential for hydrological impacts on nearby wetlands arising from future
development has also been acknowledged by the Department of Parks and Wildlife,
the Environmental Protection Authority and other private submissions.
WAPC Response
A District Water Management Strategy (DWMS) (Bioscience, December 2013) has
been approved by the Department of Water as a basis to support rezoning of the
land to Industrial and allow the proposal to proceed to the next stage of planning.
The DWMS indicates that the subject land is generally flat with a shallow
groundwater table. Surface water generally flows south towards the Birriga Main
Drain through several small Local Authority drains and road drains, although the
north east portion of the study area may also contribute flows to the Forrestdale Main
drain. Whilst the entire EELS area is located on the boundary of the Peel-Harvey
catchment and Swan River catchment, the amendment area sits wholly within the
Peel-Harvey catchment.
2
The DWMS incorporates key principles and objectives for total water cycle
management, integrated urban water management and water sensitive urban design.
It outlines a broad strategy to maintain water quality and where possible improve it.
Groundwater management will also be required to ensure appropriate separation
between post development levels and base foundations whilst protecting the existing
hydrological and ecological regime of wetlands. A Wetland Management Plan may
be required as part of future detailed planning to inform and maintain groundwater
levels within wetlands.
No objections have been raised by key environmental agencies provided that
hydrological impacts and regional drainage requirements are addressed as part of
future drainage and planning strategies. Further detailed studies to inform specific
drainage and fill requirements within the site and ensure protection of nearby wetland
systems will be required as part of the local scheme amendment and structure
planning process.
Submissions dismissed and/or noted as appropriate.
7.2
Forrestdale Lake
Several submissions make note of the proximity of the proposed industrial area to
Forrestdale Lake (a RAMSAR wetland), and the potential for off-site impacts arising
from the proposed landuse change upon the hydrology, water quality and amenity of
nearby wetlands. One submission objects to the proposed rezoning on these
grounds.
The Department of Parks and Wildlife and the EPA raise no objections to the
proposal on environmental grounds, however, provide advice on matters relating to
wetlands, buffers and drainage which will need to be taken into account as part of
future detailed planning and water management strategies.
WAPC Response
The approved DWMS recognises that Forrestdale Lake is listed as a RAMSAR
wetland and is of international significance. The Forrestdale Lake Nature reserve is
situated approximately 600 metres to the north of Lot 8. The amendment area does
not fall within the Environmental Management Area (EMA), defining the lake's
catchment area, as agreed by Department of Parks and Wildlife. Groundwater
investigations undertaken as part of the DWMS also show that the amendment area
does not interact with the Forrestdale Lake Nature Reserve hydraulically.
The DWMS recognises that a portion of the amendment area (Lot 8) contains a
Resource Enhancement Wetland (REW) comprising a vegetated remnant of a larger
palusplain area with a shallow overflow channel leaving the wetland and discharging
to culverts at Rowley Road. Groundwater investigations indicate that the REW is
affected by groundwater flows from the west of the amendment area. It is intended
that the wetland be retained and a 50 metre buffer be provided with pre and post
development hydrology to be investigated further as part of a Wetland Management
Plan.
Other wetlands adjoining the amendment area, to the south and north east are
located on the open channel networks that drain from the amendment area and are
likely to be dependent on flow rates and quality of water leaving the site. The DWMS
requires that surface water flows are managed to maintain dependent ecosystems
3
and groundwater flows are protected by appropriate buffer zones and environmental
management areas.
The amendment proposes a broad industrial zoning and will not determine the type
or form of development within the site. A local scheme amendment and structure
plan will be required to inform the distribution and acceptability of various
industrial/commercial land uses and appropriate development controls having regard
to the environmental sensitivities of the area and drainage and buffer/interface
requirements. Further opportunity to provide input on the form of
industrial/commercial development to be accommodated within the site will be
provided at subsequent planning stages.
The submissions are noted and no modifications to the amendment are
recommended.
7.3
Regional Road Issues
Rowley Road represents an important regional road link which will provide access to
the planned outer harbour at Naval Base/Kwinana. It has also been identified as a
future Primary Freight Route in the Western Australian Planning Commission
(WAPC) State Planning Policy 5.4 - Road and Rail Transport Noise and Freight
Considerations in Land Use Planning.
Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) lodged an objection to the amendment as
the advertised version did not accommodate the upgrading requirements on Rowley
Road, west of Tonkin Highway. MRWA has requested that land required for
widening of the Rowley Road/Tonkin Highway intersection be concurrently reserved
under the amendment. The Department of Transport also recommends that further
negotiations occur between MRWA and the Department of Planning to secure the
necessary road widening requirements.
WAPC Response
As a result of submissions received from MRWA and the Department of Transport, a
preliminary review of Rowley Road has been undertaken in consultation with MRWA.
This review has identified additional land requirements affecting the subject land
which will be required to accommodate widening of Rowley Road.
It is appropriate that the necessary land requirements for the widening of Rowley
Road be retained under the Rural zoning pending completion of the Rowley Road
Primary Freight Route Study. This study will inform a future MRS Amendment to
reserve Rowley Road and adjoining road widening requirements as a regional road
reserve.
It is recommended that the submission be upheld in part and the amendment
modified to exclude additional land required for the widening of Rowley Road from
the industrial rezoning.
7.4
Aboriginal Heritage Issues
The Department of Aboriginal Affairs (DAA) notes that the area has not been
surveyed for Aboriginal Heritage values in the past.
A submission from the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) on
behalf of the claimants the Whadjuk People notes that research has identified sites
4
on the DAA Register of Aboriginal Heritage Sites within close proximity to the
amendment and it may therefore be subject to a s.18 Application in accordance with
the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972. It is submitted that a full heritage site identification
survey is required for undertaking of the proposed amendment.
WAPC Response
The proposed transfer of land from the Rural zone to the Industrial zone in the MRS
does not in itself have any physical effect on the land or significant sites nor will it
define the distribution of roads, buildings or public open space/reserves which could
accommodate the protection of such sites. On this basis the MRS amendment
process is neither meant to be, nor can be used to locate, acknowledge and arrange
for the protection of significant sites.
No known sites of significance are located within the amendment area and
proponents of land development can conduct studies related to indigenous sites and
related matters at any time. Generally this would be undertaken during preparation of
a detailed structure plan when the identification and protection of significant sites can
inform the distribution of landuses or other suitable development controls.
Specific sites requiring protection from development are identified by way of
Section 18 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (AHA), based on detailed
archaeological/ethnographic studies. The proponent has been informed of the
Aboriginal heritage matters raised in the submissions and the need to address such
issues at subsequent planning stages.
The submission is noted and no modifications to the amendment are recommended.
8
Modifications
The amendment is to be modified to exclude land identified by MRWA for the future
widening of Rowley Road. Re-advertising of the amendment is not necessary as the
modification is minor in nature and does not incorporate additional land components.
The proposed modifications will reduce the total area of Industrial zoning from 103.8
hectares to 101.02 hectares.
9
Responses and determinations
The responses to all submissions are detailed in this report. The submissions of objection
are recommended to be dismissed. A minor modification to the amendment is to be
undertaken as discussed above.
10
Coordination of region and local scheme amendments
Section 126(3) of the Planning and Development Act 2005 allows for the concurrent
amendment of a local planning scheme where land is to be transferred to the Urban zone in
the MRS. As no land is being zoned Urban under the MRS, section 126(3) is not applicable.

11
Conclusion and recommendation
This report summarises the background to major Amendment 1240/41 and examines the
various submissions made on it.
The WAPC, after considering the submissions, is satisfied that the modified amendment as
shown generally on Figure 1 in Schedule 4, and in detail on the MRS Amendment Plan listed
in Appendix 2 should be approved and finalised.
Having regard to the above, the WAPC recommends that the Minister for Planning presents
the amendment to His Excellency the Governor for his consideration and approval and
subsequently commend the amendment to both Houses of Parliament.

Summary of submissions and determinations
Submission:
1
Submitted by:
South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council
Summary of Submission:
COMMENT
The South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) advises that it is the registered
native title representative body for the Whadjuk People. It requests that a heritage site
identification survey be required for the proposed amendment.
The SWALSC advises that there are sites on the Department of Aboriginal Affairs (DAA)
Register of Aboriginal Heritage Sites within close proximity of the subject land. Therefore, the
proposed amendment may be subject to a section 18 application in accordance with the
Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (AHA).
Planning Comment:
Comments noted.
The zoning of land under the MRS has no physical effect on the land or possible sacred sites
(as explained in section 7.4 of this report). Although studies of the site can occur at just about
any time during an MRS amendment, it is during the preparation of a detailed structure plan
and/or rezoning under the local scheme where specific consideration is given as to the manner
in which identified sites should be protected from development.
In this regard, Section 18 of the AHA is used to determine what sites are required to be
protected from specific development proposals. Detailed heritage archaeological/ethnographic
studies by the proponent at the subsequent detailed structure planning stage can assist in the
determinations.

Submitted by:
Department of Parks and Wildlife (previously
Department of Environment and Conservation)
COMMENT
The site is in close proximity to the Forrestdale Lake Nature reserve and associated Bush
Forever Site 345 which includes adjacent Reserve 27165. The lake is recognised as a
RAMSAR Wetland of International Significance and the majority of Reserve 27165 is mapped
as a Conservation Category Wetland (CCW) on the Department of Parks and Wildlife's (DPaW)
Geomorphic Wetlands of the Swan Coastal Plain dataset. Planning for the proposed industrial
park will need to ensure that the hydrology of these wetlands is not impacted.
A mapped Resource Enhancement Wetland (REW) is located within Lot 8 Rowley Road. A
wetland buffer and measures to protect and manage this wetland will need to be identified in
subsequent planning stages.
The District Water Management Strategy (DWMS) will need to demonstrate that surface and
groundwater management is appropriate to the CCW's and REW's in proximity to the site
including Forrestdale Lake.
The planning system will need to give consideration to the placement of specific industrial land
uses to avoid potential land use conflicts with sensitive receptors associated with potential
emissions of noise, dust, odour and gases.
Planning Comment:
Comments noted.
It is acknowledged that the amendment area is located approximately 600 metres from Bush
Forever Area 345 - Forrestdale Lake and Adjacent Bushland. This area has high conservation
value, containing a RAMSAR wetland and Conservation Category Wetland. The proposed
rezoning will not have any direct impacts on Bush Forever Area 345 and the associated
wetlands, however, future land uses may have the potential for indirect impact through drainage
and groundwater flows.
A DWMS has been prepared and supported by the Department of Water in support of the
amendment. Issues relating to wetlands, associated hydrological impacts and distribution of
specific land uses will need to be addressed as part of more detailed planning through the local
scheme amendment and structure planning process.
Determination:
Submission noted.
Submission:
5
Submitted by:
Department of Water
COMMENT
The Department of Water (DoW) is unable to comment on the proposal as the draft District
Water Management Strategy (DWMS) is yet to be finalised and approved.
The DoW anticipates that once the City of Armadale has resolved local planning issues
associated with this site, an amended and updated DWMS will be returned to DoW for
assessment. Once the DWMS has been approved by DoW, in consultation with the City of
Armadale the Western Australian Planning Commission will be advised of this approval.
Planning Comment:
Subsequent to advertising of the amendment the DOW has advised that it has reviewed the
South Forrestdale District Water Management Strategy - Lot 6, 8 and 200 Rowley Road Version 7 (December 2013) and is satisfied that the document is acceptable for the proposal to
proceed to the next stage of planning approval.

Submitted by:
Gray and Lewis on behalf of SN & M D'Orazio
owners of Lot 10 Rowley Road, Forrestfield
COMMENT
The proposed rezoning is supported by the owners of Lot 10, immediately east of the
amendment area, noting that it will form the 'first stage' of the South Forrestdale Industrial Site
identified in the Economic and Employment Lands Strategy, April 2012 (EELS) and the Draft
Metropolitan South and Peel Sub-Regional Structure Plan.
The EELS report has identified a growing demand for strategically located industrial land to
cater for industrial expansion over the next 20 years. The South Forrestdale Industrial Area is
well located with frontage to Rowley Road and Tonkin Highway and with strong connections to
other regional transport networks and supported by a growing urban workforce in nearby
developing residential localities.
The South Forrestdale Industrial Site has been assessed as a "potential medium term nonheavy industrial site". In this respect, various service infrastructure issues need to be
addressed as well as an implementation strategy before the land is capable of being
developed, which may realistically take a number of years.
A District Water Management Strategy (DWMS) is currently being prepared for the amendment
area and the remaining land (including Lot 10 Rowley Road). This will support further stages of
rezoning beyond the 'first stage'.
On completion of the DWMS over this broader area, together with resolution of service
infrastructure provision constraints, the owners of Lot 10 Rowley Road are likely to seek
support for the initiation of a further MRS Amendment for rezoning from Rural to Industrial.
Planning Comment:
Comments noted.
A DWMS has been approved by the Department of Water to support rezoning of the subject
land. Although the DWMS acknowledges broader requirements within the locality, it does not
incorporate detailed water management requirements for Lot 10. Future amendment stages,
including Lot 10, will need to include additional water management studies.
Determination:
Submission noted.
Submission:
8
Submitted by:
Friends of Forrestdale
COMMENT
The Friends of Forrestdale recognize the need to provide land for future industrial and urban
development but only on the condition that such development acknowledges and protects the
conservation values of bushland and wetlands areas, including Bush Forever Site 345 and Lot
8 Rowley Road, which include Conservation Category Wetlands. This should be addressed
through the District Water Management Strategy.
The amendment report outlines that Forrestdale Lake Nature Reserve (within Bush Forever
site 345) is a RAMSAR Convention Wetland of International Importance and acknowledges the
potential for industrial development of the Southern Forrestdale area to adversely impact on the
RAMSAR site. Under the RAMSAR Convention parties are required to formulate and
implement their planning so as to promote the conservation of the wetlands and arrange to
inform if the ecological character of any wetland in its territory and included on the list has
changed, is changed or is likely to change as a result of technological developments, pollution
or other human interference.
The opportunity to review and make a submission on the District Water Management Strategy
would be welcomed as changes in hydrology in South Forrestdale have the potential to impact
adversely on Forrestdale Lake.
No mention is made of the fact that the drains in South Forrestdale flow south towards the Peel
estuary and have the potential to impact adversely on the estuary. This oversight should be
addressed in the District Water Management Strategy.
A submission made on the Industrial Land Strategy 2009: Perth and Peel noted the need for
buffers between incompatible land uses, such as the South Forrestdale Industrial Precinct and
Forrestdale Lake Nature Reserve. Whilst the amendment agrees in general terms with the
EPA advice about the need for buffers, it does not go into detail about their size or location.
This is considered to be a serious deficiency in the amendment and should be rectified in
subsequent versions.
Planning Comment:
Comments noted.
The Department of Water has supported a District Water Management Strategy which
addresses broad level drainage considerations to support the initial stage of planning through
the MRS amendment process. This document recognises the broader drainage regime within
the locality, including established flows towards the Peel Harvey catchment.
The amendment proposes a broad industrial zoning, under which a variety of industrial and
commercial land uses can be contemplated. The precise nature and distribution of such land
uses, associated buffer requirements, development controls and drainage design are to be
informed through more detailed planning as part of the local scheme amendment and structure
planning process.
Further opportunity to comment on the detailed drainage strategy and landuse provisions will
be afforded through the local scheme amendment and structure planning process which are
subject to separate consultation periods.
Determination:

Submitted by:
Joanne Harris
OBJECTION
The rezoning proposal raises significant issues related to the appropriateness of allowing light
industrial land use within such close proximity to one of the most important conservation areas
within the Swan Coastal Plain.
Given the RAMSAR status of this reserve and undoubtable impacts that a light industrial zoning
will subject the wetland to (eg. hydrology, industrial contamination, negative effects on amenity)
it would be expected that this rezoning would trigger the EPBA and require referral to
RAMSAR, CAMBRA, JAMBRA monitoring agencies.
The inevitable changes to this area that would arise from light industrial land use, including
vastly increased hard surfaces and associated increased vehicle use, will without doubt
contribute to significant alterations in the hydrology and contribute to increased pollutant input
into the system and any rezoning should not be undertaken without a comprehensive hydrology
report being undertaken over a minimum two year period.
Given the significance of the wetland the precautionary principle should be employed to ensure
that no unknown or unintentional damage is done. Zoning of light industrial vastly increases the
risk to this wetland and appears to be a totally unsuitable land use.
This site presents great opportunity for recreation or residential land uses. The simplicity of
identifying this site as a light industrial land use area due to its proximity to road access
represents a lackadaisical approach to planning. Much greater consideration needs to be given
to the protection of our environment and urban amenity than this proposal demonstrates.
Solutions to providing the state with the necessary services it requires must involve a thorough
examination of the effect of planning decisions on social, cultural and environmental factors and
not be based on simplistic planning principles and economics as this amendment appears to
be.
Planning Comment:
Objection noted.
The site is identified for non-heavy industrial development in the draft Outer Metropolitan Perth
and Peel Sub-Regional Strategy and EELS which provide a framework for implementing
Directions 2031 and Beyond. These documents consider a variety of issues in relation to
locational considerations for suitable industrial development sites, including but not limited to
transport considerations and environmental constraints.
The Department of Water has supported a District Water Management Strategy to guide
proponent's commitments in relation to water management within the site. The proposal has
also been reviewed by EPA and DPaW with no objections raised in relation to the rezoning
subject to more detailed drainage and land use planning being undertaken at subsequent
stages to avoid impacts upon nearby wetlands and sensitive land uses.
Further investigation on the permissibility of specific land uses across the site and appropriate
land use, development and drainage controls will be considered through subsequent planning
and development stages in conjunction with the City of Armadale. The opportunity to provide
further input on the form of development will be afforded at this time and would be subject to
separate consultation periods.
Determination:
Submission dismissed.
Submission:

Submitted by:
Water Corporation
OBJECTION
The Water Corporation objects to the proposal until such time as an approved Department of
Water (DoW) Drainage Water Management Plan (DWMP) is in place for this area.
It is considered that a District Water Management Strategy which has been prepared for the
MRS Amendment area would be premature as it would only look at the subject land in isolation
and would not consider the regional drainage issues.
The subject area has been included within the recently reviewed Armadale-Kelmscott Gravity
Scheme. Planning to serve this area with water has just been competed but the major
infrastructure has not been programmed for construction at this stage. Therefore this area
would currently be considered pioneer and all infrastructure required to service the area would
be at the developers expense.
The subject land currently falls outside a planned wastewater scheme catchment. If reticulated
connections are required for future development the developer would need to arrange for
planning to be undertaken to determine how this area is to be serviced. Any planning review is
currently not on the Statewide Planning Program. This area would currently be considered
pioneer and all infrastructure required to service the area would be at the developer's expense.
Planning Comment:
Objection and comments noted.
The Department of Water has approved a DWMS for the subject land for the purpose of
progressing the rezoning. The DWMS has been prepared having regard to regional planning
requirements. More detailed water management planning will need to be undertaken through
subsequent planning stages to guide the drainage and water management regime to be
implemented within the site.
Issues pertaining to water and wastewater servicing will also need to be addressed and resolve
through future structure planning, prior to subdivision/development.
Determination:
Submission:

Submitted by:
Main Roads Western Australia
OBJECTION
Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) does not support the proposed Amendment as it does
not allow for the upgrading of Rowley Road west of Tonkin Highway.
Rowley Road is an important link which will provide access to the planned outer harbour,
intermodal terminal, the Latitude 32 area and other redevelopment proposals (such as this
amendment). Rowley Road has also been identified as a future Primary Freight Route in the
Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) State Planning Policy 5.4 (Road and Rail
Transport Noise and Freight Considerations in Land Use Planning).
MRWA believes that a planning design concept needs to be prepared to determine the likely
road reservation. MRWA recommends that the portion of land required for upgrading of Tonkin
Highway and Rowley Road intersection should be zoned Primary Regional Road in the MRS.
Planning Comment:
Objection and Comments noted.
The amendment is recommended for modification to accommodate the additional land
requirements identified by MRWA (Refer to Part 7.3 - Regional and Local Road Issues of the
Report on Submissions).
It is recommended that road widening requirements for Rowley Road be retained under the
Rural zone pending completion of the Rowley Road Primary Freight Route Study which will
inform a future MRS Amendment.
Determination:
Submission upheld in part.

Submitted by:
City of Armadale
COMMENT
The City is supportive of the proposal for the above land to be included in a future industrial
area. The development of additional employment centres within the City is a key objective of
the City's Strategic Plan.
The land is identified in the Economic and Employment Lands Strategy (EELS), Directions
2031 and Beyond and the Outer Metropolitan Perth and Peel Sub Regional Strategy as a
priority industrial site and Council is keen to see the progression of the necessary statutory
processes to enable the future industrial precinct to be developed. The 2001 District Structure
plan identified the area as being relatively unconstrained for more intensive urban uses. The
Planning framework for a Metropolitan Region Scheme amendment therefore appears to be
reasonably well established at the strategic level.

COMMENT
We support the proposal to rezone the land to Industrial under the MRS. The adjoining owners
support the amendment and propose that these and other adjoining properties also be rezoned
to Industrial. A submission seeking initiation of an Amendment to extend the Industrial zone
over Lots 5, 7 and 9 Oxley Road is contemplated.

COMMENT
Although the adjoining section of Rowley Road is not currently categorised as a Regional Road,
advice received from the Department of Planning suggest that Rowley Road will be reclassified
as a Regional Road and this is currently under review by Department of Planning.
It is understood that Rowley Road will be constructed to a four lane road by 2021-3031 and
hence a road reservation to accommodate widening in excess of 20 metres will be required.
Further consultation with Department of Planning and MRWA is required to confirm the future
reservation of Rowley Road.
Rowley Road west of Tonkin Highway to the Kwinana Freeway is designated as a primary
freight route under State Planning Policy 5.4. Future development will need to comply with
State Planning Policy 5.4 - Road and Rail Transport Noise and Freight Consideration in Land
use Planning.
Rowley Road will become a Controlled Access road that will limit the number of vehicle access
to individual developments proposed on the subject land. Access points will be restricted to
major intersections only (with no direct access along Rowley Road).
The Department recommends further consultation with DoP and MRWA to resolve any future
road widening implications that may affect the subject site.
Planning Comment:
Comments noted.
Further consultation has been undertaken with MRWA to resolve road widening requirements
along Rowley Road. The amendment is to be modified to accommodate additional road
widening on Rowley Road as agreed by MRWA.
Determination:
Submission upheld.

COMMENT
The area has not been surveyed for Aboriginal Heritage values in the past. It is noted that the
Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has an agreement with the South West
Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) to seek their comments on such amendments and
will be doing so during the public advertising period.

FORRESTDALE INDUSTRIAL PRECINCT
The South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) is the registered native
title representative body for the Whadjuk People (WAD242/2011).
On behalf of its clients, SWALSC tabled this matter at the Working Party Meeting
(WPM) held on 20 February 2013 and obtained their Instructions and submission.
We understand that the purpose of the Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment
(MRS) 1240/41 is to transfer approximately 103.8 ha of Rural zoned land to the
Industrial zone within the City of Armadale, generally bounded by Tonkin Highway to
the east and Rowley Road to the south.
Subject to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) (AHA) and the MOU SWALSC has
with the WAPC to request Aboriginal Heritage survey work, we are instructed by our
clients to submit that a full heritage site identification survey is required for the
undertaking of the proposed Amendment.
Our research has identified recording of sites on the Department of Indigenous Affairs
(DIA) Register of Aboriginal Heritage Sites located within close proximity of the
proposed amendment.
The proposed Amendment may therefore be subject to s 18 Application In accordance
with the AHA.

Dear Sir/Madam
METROPOLITAN REGION SCHEME MAJOR SCHEME AMENDMENT 1240/41 SOUTH
FORRESTDALE INDUSTRIAL PRECINCT (SOUTH FORRESTDALE BUSINESS PARK)
I refer to your correspondence of 12 December 2012.
The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) provides the following comments
consistent with previous DEC advice.
The site is in close proximity to the Forrestdale Lake Nature Reserve and associated Bush
Forever Site 345 which includes adjacent Reserve 27165. The lake is recognised as a Ramsar
Wetland of International Significance and the majority of reserve 27165 is mapped as a
Conservation Category Wetland (CCW) on DEC's Geomorphic Wetlands of the Swan Coastal
Plain dataset. Planning for the proposed industrial park will need to ensure that the hydrology of
these wetlands is not impacted.
A mapped resource enhancement wetland (REW) is located within Lot 8 Rowley Road. A
wetland buffer and measures to protect and manage this wetland will need to be identified in
subsequent planning stages.
The District Water Management Strategy (DWMS) will need to demonstrate that surface and
groundwater management is appropriate to the CCW's and REW's in proximity to the site,
including Forrestdale Lake.
The planning system will need to give consideration to the placement of specific industrial land
uses to avoid potential land use conflicts with sensitive receptors resulting from potential
emissions of noise, dust, odour and gases.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this application. Please contact Lyndon Mutter
on 9423 2922 or 0408920985, alternatively at email [email protected] if you
have any enquiries regarding this advice.

Dear Ms. Tothill,
Re: Metropolitan Region Scheme Wlajjor Amendment 1240/41, South
Forrestdale Industrial Precinct
Thank you for the above referral dated 12 December 2012. The Department
of Water (DoW) is unable to comment on the proposal as the draft District
Water Management Strategy (DWMS) is yet to be finalised and approved.
The DoW is waiting for further information from the City of Armadale who is
considering local planning issues associated with this site.
The DoW anticipates that once the City of Armadale has resolved these
issues, an amended and updated DWMS will be returned to the department
for assessment. Once the DWMS has been approved by the DoW, in
consultation with the City of Armadale, the Western Australian Planning
Commission will be advised of this approval.
If you would like more information regarding this matter, please contact Briony

Dear Sir
SUBMISSION ON MRS AMENDMENT NO. 1240/41 - SOUTH FORRESTDALE
INDUSTRIAL PRECINCT (SOUTH FORRESTDALE BUSINESS PARK)
This submission has been prepared on behalf of SN and M D'orazio, owners of Lot 10
Rowley Road, Forrestdale.
The owners of Lot 10 broadly support the rezoning of the land located immediately to the
east of Lot 10 (and being the subject of MRS Amendment 1240/41) from Rural to Industrial.
The owners also agree with the Western Australian Planning Commission that the proposed
Amendment is considered as the "first stage" of the greater "South Forrestdale Industrial
Site" and so will "facilitate development of a new industrial precinct" within the South-Eastern
Corridor of the Metropolitan Area.
The reasons for such support are as follows:
» The Amendment Land Area as well as other surrounding lots (including Lot 10 Rowley
Road) are part of the "South Forrestdale Industrial Site" identified in EELS, April 2012.
The "South Forrestdale Industrial Site" Is also recognised in the Metropolitan South and
Peel Sub-Regional Structure Plan due for release and comments in May/June this
year.
• The EELS report has identified a growing demand for strategically located industrial
land to cater for industrial expansion over the next 20 years. The South Forrestdale
Industrial Area is well located with frontage to Rowley Road and Tonkin Highway and
with strong connections to other regional transport networks and is supported by a
growing urban workforce in nearby developing residential localities including
Forrestdale, Wungong and Southern River.
e The South Forrestdale Industrial Site has been assessed as a "potential medium term
non-heavy industrial site". In this respect, various service infrastructure issues need to
be addressed as well as an implementation strategy before the land Is capable of being
developed and realistically this may take a number of years.
• A District Water Management Strategy (DWMS) is currently being prepared for the
Amendment Land Area and the remaining land (Including Lot 10 Rowley Road) within
the greater "South Forrestdale Industrial Site". This will support further stages of
rezoning beyond this "first stage" in the remaining 250 hectares of the industrial site.

G [FI/ FS JOOPSI- inn343\1002as\siibmission - MRS Ami 1240-41-12March.doc
On the completion of the DWMS over this broader area, together with the resolution of
service infrastructure provision constraints for the South Forrestdale Industrial area, the
owners of Lot 10 Rowley Road are likely to seek support for the initiation of a further MRS
Amendment for rezoning from Rural to Industrial.
Initial on-site investigations and preliminary environmental assessment indicate that Lot 10
Rowley Road is in fact the least constrained property within the entire South Forrestdale
Industrial Area Precinct.
There is no doubt that Lot 10 is suitable for rezoning to industrial in the future, however, it is
considered such rezoning is premature until the service infrastructure provision issues have
been addressed and the broader implementation structure has been further defined.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the MRS Amendment 1240/41.

Dear Sir/Madam
Metropolitan Scheme Amendment 1240/41
The Friends of Forrestdale would like to make a submission on the above Amendment.
The Friends recognize the need for development, in particular to provide land for future
industrial and urban areas, but only on the condition that such development
acknowledges and protects the conservation values of bushland and wetlands, such as
Bush Forever sites. Within Forrestdale, these include Bush Forever site 345 and Lot 8
Rowley Road, both of which are Conservation Categoiy wetlands. We welcome the
recognition of the latter in the Amendment and the need to protect it. This need should be
included in the District Water Management Strategy.
It is gratifying to see on page 3 in the Amendment the fact that Forrestdale Lake Nature
Reserve (within Bush Forever site 345) is acknowledged as a Ramsar Convention
Wetland of International Importance and that the proposal for the development of the
South Forrestdale Industrial Precinct is cognisant of the fact that this Convention places
all proposed development in the vicinity under strict provisions and international
obligations. It is also gratifying to see that the potential for the industrial development of
the South Forrestdale area to impact adversely on the Ramsar site has been acknowledged.
Under the terms of the Ramsar Convention, Article 3, clauses 1 and 2, 'the Contracting
Parties shall formulate and implement their planning so as to promote the conservation of
the wetlands included in the List' and 'each Contracting Party shall arrange to be
informed at the earliest possible time if the ecological character of any wetland in its
territory and included in the List has changed, is changed or is likely to change as the
1
result of technological developments, pollution or other human interference.'
We welcome the imminent release of the District Water Management Strategy and look
forward to reading it and making a submission on it if possible as changes in hydrology
in South Forrestdale have the potential to impact adversely on Forrestdale Lake. No
mention is made in the Amendment of the fact that the drains in South Forrestdale flow
south to the Peel estuaiy and have the potential to impact adversely on the estuary. This
oversight in the Amendment should be addressed in subsequent versions in the District
Water Management Strategy.
In our submission on the Industrial Land Strategy 2009: Perth and Peel made in
November 2010 we noted the need for providing buffers between incompatible land uses,
such as the proposed South Forrestdale Industrial Precinct and Forrestdale Lake Nature
Reserve. Whilst the Amendment agrees in general terms with the EPA advice about the
need for buffers, it does not go into detail about their size or location. We consider this to
be a serious deficiency in the Amendment and should be rectified in subsequent versions.
Yours sincerely
(Dr Ro/ Giblett

Friends of Forrestdale (Inc.)

Attention of: Jasmine Tothill
Re: Metropolitan Region Scheme Major Amendment 1240/41
Thank you for your letter dated 12 December 2012. The Water Corporation objects
to this proposal until such time as an approved Department of Water (DoW),
Drainage Water Management Plan (DWMP), is in place for this area.
The Water Corporation gives the following Drainage comments to clarify its position.
Drainage
The Water Corporation is currently opposing rezonings generally west of Hopkinson
Road on the basis that development in the palusplain of the Mundijong Drainage
District should not occur until a DWMP for the whole area has been prepared. The
DoW is currently undertaking the Serpentine DWMP that covers this area. DoWs
Peter Muirden can be contacted for further information regarding this study.
The DWMP is required to be supported by regional groundwater and surface water
modelling to identify the required regional drainage strategy (i.e. compensating
basins and flood paths), areas suitable for development and fill conditions for the
setting of building envelopes. The groundwater study is also required to address
changes in groundwater fluxes, and potential mobilisation of dissolved nutrients and
associated water quality risk issues.
The regional drainage strategy should also establish the level of service for the
area, commensurate with standards set by the Local Authorities which will allow
these agencies and the Department of Planning & Infrastructure to set development
conditions for rezonings and subdivisions in this District.
Drainage of the Mundijong Drainage District palusplain is difficult and complex as
the area is hydraulically flat with a very high groundwater table. The existing rural
drainage system serving the Mundijong Drainage District has a low capacity and
has been designed to flood adjacent land for up to 3 days. In addition the existing
rural drainage system has a large contributing catchment with interdependent sub
drains unlike say the Metropolitan Main Drains which have quite distinct and
separate sub catchments.
It is considered that a District Water Management Strategy which .has been
prepared for the MRS Amendment area would be premature as it would only look at
the subject land in isolation and would not consider the regional drainage issues
mentioned above, as there is no approved DWMP currently in place. These issues
are not limited to identification and retention of flood paths and floodplains within the
development, but also tailwater conditions impacting on proposed local drainage
system performance.
Please note the DoW has prepared DWMP's for future development of other areas
in Forrestdale and Jandakot. These previous plans made comprehensive
information available at a regional level to enable individual developments to
conduct their detailed design of local drainage systems and on-site stormwater
retention strategies for building construction.
When the Serpentine DWMP is completed the Water Corporation would then be
able to provide appropriate drainage comments.
Please note the additional information below should also be considered during the
implementation of this amendment.
Water Supply
The subject area has now been included within the recently reviewed ArmadaleKelmscott Gravity Scheme. Reticulated water is not immediately available to serve
the subject area. The proposed new development will require headworks size water
mains to be constructed. The headworks mains may be required to be constructed
as part of the subdivision process of this or other proposed developments in the
area. A route for the headworks mains will also be required, up to 20 metres wide.
The route should be in the form of a road reserve.
Planning to serve this area with water has just been completed but the major
infrastructure to serve this area has not been programmed for construction at this
stage. Therefore this area would currently be considered pioneer and all
infrastructure required to service the area would be at the developers expense.
Wastewater
The subject area currently falls outside a planned wastewater scheme catchment. If
reticulated connections are required for future development in this area, the
developer would need to arrange for planning to be undertaken to determine how
this area is to be serviced. Any planning review is currently not on the Statewide
Planning Program. As there is not current planning major infrastructure to serve this
area has not been programmed for construction at this stage. Therefore this area
would currently be considered pioneer and all infrastructure required to service the
area would be at the developers expense.
General Comments
The principle followed by the Water Corporation for the funding of subdivision or
development is one of user pays. The developer is expected to provide all water
and sewerage reticulation. A contribution for Water, Sewerage and Drainage
headworks may also be required. In addition the developer may be required to fund
new works or the upgrading of existing works and protection of all works. Any
temporary works needed are required to be fully funded by the developer. The
Corporation may also require land being ceded free of cost for works.
The information provided above is subject to review and may change. If the
proposal has not proceeded within the next 6 months, the Corporation should be
contacted to confirm if the information is still valid.
Should you have any queries or require further clarification on any of the above issues,
please do not hesitate to contact the Enquiries Officer.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Proposed MRS Amendment 1240/41 - South Forrestdale Industrial Precinct.
Thank you for your letter dated 12 December 2012 seeking Main Roads comments on the
proposed Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) Amendment 1240/41.
Main Roads does not support the proposed MRS amendment 1240/41 (South Forrestdale
Industrial Precinct) as the proposal does not allow for upgrading of Rowley Road west of
Tonkin Highway.
Rowley Road is an important link which will provide access to the planned outer harbour,
intermodal terminal, the latitude 32 area and the other redevelopment proposals (such as
this amendment). Rowley Road has also been identified as a future Primary Freight Route
in the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) State Planning Policy 5.4 (Road
and Rail Transport Noise and Freight Considerations in Land Use Planning).
Therefore, Main Roads believes that a planning design concept needs to be prepared to
determine the likely road reservation. The portion of land required for Rowley Road
upgrading should not be zoned industrial.
It is noted that a portion of land is proposed to be left rural on the north-west corner of the
Tonkin Highway and Rowley Road intersection. This land is required for the upgrading of
Tonkin Highway and Rowley Road intersection. Main Roads recommends that this portion
of the land be zoned Primary Regional Road in the MRS.
If you require any further information please contact Ashis Parajuli on (08) 9323 4286.
Yours faithfully

Dear Ms Bubanic ¦ 2—
PROPOSED METROPOLITAN REGION SCHEME MAJOR AMENDMENT 1240/41 SOUTH FORRESTDALE INDUSTRIAL PRECINCT
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the above major amendment.
The City is supportive of the proposal for the above land to be included in a future industrial
area. The development of additional potential employment centres within the City is a key
objective of the City's Strategic Plan.
The land is identified in the Economic and Employment Lands Strategy (EELS), Directions
2031 and the Outer Metropolitan Perth and Peel Sub Regional Strategy as a priority industrial
site and Council is keen to see the progression of the necessaiy statutory processes to enable
the future industrial precinct to be developed. The 2001 District Structure Plan identified the
area as being relatively unconstrained for more intensive urban uses. The Planning framework
for a Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) amendment therefore appears to be reasonably well
established at the strategic level.
The City has previously provided detailed comment on all of the reports and technical
documents that the applicant lodged with the WAPC in support of the amendment. This
detailed assessment was attached to the City's correspondence dated 2 December 2011 and
should be taken into consideration in the assessment and determination of this MRS
amendment request.
It is noted that this MRS amendment is the first step in the process and that the anticipated
local scheme amendment and structure plan will be required to address all potential issues or
at least provide a suitable platform for a detailed submission and review.
If you have any queries regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Meredith
Kenny, Senior Statutory Strategic Planning Officer on 9399 0627.
Yours faith:

Dear Mrs Tothill
Re: Metropolitan Region Scheme Proposed Amendment 1241/41 - South
Forrestdale Industrial Precinct (South Forrestdale Business Park)
I refer to your letter dated 12 December 2012 regarding the proposed Metropolitan
Region Scheme (MRS) amendment.
The Department of Transport (DoT) has liaised with Main Roads Western Australia
(MRWA) and provides the following comments.
Lot 200 that abuts Tonkin Highway is reserved as a Primary Regional Road (PRR)
Category 1 in the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS).
Reference is also made to DoT's previous correspondence dated 3 November 2011.
Responsibilities for road reviews have since been transferred to MRWA and DoP.
Although this section of Rowley Road is not currently categorised as a Regional Road,
advice received from DoP suggested that Rowley Road will be reclassified as a
Regional Road and is currently under review by Department of Planning (DoP).
It is understood that Rowley Road will be constructed to a 4 lane road by 2021-2031,
and hence a road reservation to accommodate this widening is required. A road
reserve in excess of 20m will be required and this is not reflected on the concept plan
submitted as part of the amendment. Further consultation with DoP and MRWA is
required to confirm future reservation of Rowley Road.
It is advised that Rowley Road from west of Tonkin Highway to the Kwinana Freeway is
designated as a primary freight route under State Planning Policy 5.4. Any future noise
sensitive developments would be required to be located away from the proposed
Freight Corridor. Future development will need to comply with SPP 5.4 - Road and Rail
Transport Noise & Freight Consideration in Land use Planning.

Tel: (08) 6551 6000 Fax: (08) 6551 6001 www.transport.wa.gov.au
ABN 27 285 643 255
Rowley Road will become a Controlled Access road that will limit the number of vehicle
access to individual developments proposed on the subject Lot. Access points will be
restricted to major intersections only (with no direct access along Rowley Road).
DoT notes MRWA comments objecting to the proposed MRS amendment.
In view of the above, The Department therefore recommends further consultation with
DoP and MRWA to agree to any future road widening implications that may affect the
subject site.

SOUTH FORRESTDALE INDUSTRIAL PRECINCT (SOUTH FORRESTDALE
BUSINESS PARK)
I refer to your letter of 12 December 2012 about the proposed Metropolitan Region
Scheme (MRS) Amendment 1240/41 for the South Forrestdale Industrial Precinct.
I have had an opportunity to review the proposed MRS amendment to rezone
approximately 103.8 ha from the rural zone land to the Industrial zone to allow for
primary general / service industrial development of the land as well as some
commercial /showroom development as determined through a local scheme
amendment, detailed structure planning and subdivision approval.
I note that in section 5 in the document .deals with Aboriginal heritage matters. It is
noted that this area has not been surveyed for Aboriginal Heritage values in the past. It
is noted that the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has an agreement
with the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) to seek their
comments on such amendments and will be doing so during the public advertising
period.
Please find below a link to our Cultural Heritage Due Diligence Guidelines for
assistance that will help in identifying the risk that proposed activities may have on
adversely impacting Aboriginal heritage values:
