What is a Precinct Structure Plan?

    A Precinct Structure Plan is a planning document that provided a high-level framework for guiding how an area could be developed in the future. This includes the zoning, subdivision and development, as well as design criteria for future development. The Precinct Structure Plan is prepared in line with State Planning Policy 7.2 - Precinct Design. 

    Who is preparing the Orton Road Precinct Structure Plan?

    The Precinct Structure Plan is applicant-driven by Element Advisory on behalf of Alinea.

    What area is covered by the Orton Road Precinct Structure Plan?

    The Orton Road Precinct Structure Plan area is located on Lot 47 (No. 2) Orton Road, Shenton Park on the corner of Orton Road and Selby Street.


    What is the City's Role?

    The City's role is to assess the structure plan in accordance with the provisions of State Planning Policy 7.2 and Livable Neighbourhoods. A large part is also consulting with our key stakeholders and particularly our community. The City's Administration will then provide a report to Council, with a recommendation to the Western Australian Planning Commision (who is the final determining authority). 

    The advertising of the Precinct Structure Plan does not indicate any formal support of the proposal by the City or the Western Australian Planning Commission. 

    What is being proposed?

    The Precinct Structure Plan proposes:

    • ‘Mixed Use’ zone to facilitate the redevelopment of the site for the delivery of five supported seniors housing accommodation (multiple dwellings) and other ancillary uses; and
    • R-AC0 density which includes built form provisions for future development. 

    It is estimated that the project could deliver an estimated of 200 dwellings over four stages.
