Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the City undertaking planning for the Waratah Precinct?
The City of Nedlands is undertaking an important initiative to develop a local planning framework that will respond to the higher densities and changes in zoning that were introduced into the City's Local Planning Scheme No.3.
As a result of these changes, the Precinct has been experiencing significant development pressure. To help better support decision making processes and ensure that the local planning framework which underpins decisions made by the City and Council is appropriate to the Nedlands context, the City has been working on developing a suite of local planning policies and related strategic planning responses to address this.
