The City of Nedlands receives numerous development applications each year which require community consultation for numerous reasons such as the City requiring the use of discretion in decision making or the type of development application requiring community consultation as per City Policy.

This engagement page is a central place to view and provide submissions on all current development applications of a standard or basic nature such as single and grouped dwelling developments, home business applications and change of use applications. Significant development applications will be advertised on a separate page.

For an overview of the Western Australian planning system, including how public advertising fits into the assessment of development applications, see here.

Community input helps the City in making decisions to approve applications with or without conditions - or to refuse applications.

    Hi Kevin, King Edward Hospital falls under the City of Subiaco catchment so you will need to contact the Subiaco council for further information. Take care!

  • Share Why are you allowing planning applications in the City of Nedlands to take down every tree on the block, strip it bare and allow these huge concrete monstrous houses to be built with no grass, no greenery, all tile, concrete and flat roofs.

    Thank you for your question and apologise for the delay in responding. The responses to your questions required the input of several officers and we respond as follows:

    1. The City of Nedlands uses the Residential Design Codes for residential development. For single and grouped dwelling developments, there is no requirement to retain trees on site. There is difficulty in enforcing retention of trees on private property as the City has limited enforcement capabilities to require retention as the City also has to prove the tree was in good health prior to its removal and also provide evidence of the company/person who removed the tree. The City can however control streets trees in verges and require retention of street trees wherever possible – especially trees of significant value. 
    2. Rangers do not allow people to walk their dog off lead and have issued caution and infringement notices in the past to dog owners failing to comply. Rangers also issue notices to dog owners failing to control their dog in dog exercise areas. If you could specify where these alleged offences are taking place and approximate times of day, the Rangers can perform targeted patrols at that time of day.
