Changes to Bruce Trust Land & Amendments to Scheme

In response to public statutory consultation in April 2018 and the Ordinary Council meeting held 24 September 2019, Council resolved for the CEO to put forward a Scheme Proposal to the Office of the Attorney General to vary the Bruce Trust Indenture.

The Scheme for variation of Trust under the Charitable Trusts Act 1962 (WA) was approved by the Hon Attorney General and the Scheme published in Government Gazette number 70 on 8 May 2020 at page 1168.

The Scheme Variation corrects an anomaly between the Trust land and the existing road along The Esplanade by recognising the road, allowing vehicles to park on the edge of the road and allows for the application of the City of Nedlands Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law 2013 on the road that is situated on part of the Bruce Trust Land. The Scheme Variation does not allow the road to be widened.
