The City is seeking community views about the future vision for Maida Vale Urban Precinct (also referred to as ‘Maida Vale South’).

Background and Current Status

The Maida Vale Urban Precinct is a 178-hectare rural and residential area containing a range of residential lifestyle and small‐scale agricultural pursuits, such as orchards and keeping of stock and horses. The State Government’s Perth and Peel @3.5million: North-East Sub-Regional Planning Framework outlines a strategic direction for this precinct as “Urban Expansion” subject to more detailed planning.

In this regard, the area us subject to a proposed Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) Amendment 1344/57, which proposes an Urban Deferred zone, allowing future residential development and areas of public open space, following the lifting of Urban Deferment, a local scheme amendment, detailed structure planning and subdivision approval. The Western Australian Planning Commission previously invited comment on this proposal in late 2023.

Given the precinct contains areas of significant environmental values The MRS amendment has been the subject of environmental assessment by the Environmental Protection Authority and recently the Minister for Environment has determined the recommendation that the MRS Amendment may be implemented subject to conditions.

Next Steps

The WAPC will next need to consider submissions and make a recommendation for a decision of the Minister for Planning, on whether to accept, reject or change proposed MRS amendment, and incorporate environmental conditions.

This process, if approved by the Minister for Planning, will enable more detailed processes to occur through a local structure plan.
