Learn about the City’s new Local Planning Strategy guiding land use, growth and development.
About the Local Planning Strategy
The City’s first Local Planning Strategy was endorsed by the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Statutory Planning Committee on 24 September 2026.
As the City’s highest-level land use planning document, the Strategy establishes the strategic framework for future planning and development across the City of Wanneroo. It sets out the City’s planning directions to 2041, when the population is projected to reach approximately 393,000 residents.
The Strategy will guide the planning and delivery of housing, employment opportunities, infrastructure and services, while protecting valued environmental and community assets. It also provides specific direction for areas expected to experience significant growth or change.
The Strategy will inform the preparation and review of the City’s local planning schemes and provide an important link between State and regional planning policies and local priorities.
