Notice is hereby given that at its meeting of 11 November 2025, Council resolved to initiate an amendment to Local Planning Scheme No.8 to rezone the above-mentioned lots from ‘Residential Zone (R20)’ to ‘Mixed Use - Residential Zone’ with a residential density coding of ‘R60’.
The amendment is consistent with the endorsed City of Bunbury Local Planning Strategy 2018 and is therefore considered to be a standard amendment in accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.
If approved, the proposed rezoning to Mixed Use - Residential (R60) will result in increased residential density and the potential for small-scale commercial development on the subject lots.
Public comments are now open. Written submissions are to be lodged with the undersigned by close of business on Monday 20 April 2026. Should you require a hard copy submission form posted, request can be emailed to info@bunbury.wa.gov.au. Full details and submission form on the Scheme Amendment proposal can be accessed below.
A hard copy of the application will also be held at the front counter of the City’s Administration Centre located at 4 Stephen Street Bunbury. Should you require a hard copy of the submission form posted, please send your request to email info@bunbury.wa.gov.au .
Should you have any queries regarding these matters, please contact Justin Biggar, Strategic Planning Officer on 9792 7064 or at info@bunbury.wa.gov.au.
