At its meeting in February 2023, Council accepted a tender for the preparation of the Karnup District Structure Plan (DSP).
The tender was awarded to CDP Town Planning and Urban Design who will prepare the DSP on the City’s behalf.
District Structure Plans are high-level strategic planning documents that coordinate zoning, subdivision and land use in a particular area.
The Karnup DSP area is approximately 2,000 hectares in size and extends from Sixty Eight Road in the north, to Paganoni Road in the south, and from Mandurah Road/Stakehill Road/Fletcher Road in the west, to Baldivis Road/Stakehill Road and Kwinana Freeway in the east.
The area has been identified for future urban development in strategic plans since the 1980s, and the State Government’s South Metropolitan Peel Sub-Regional Planning Framework has identified Karnup as a key future urban growth corridor.
The DSP will guide the long term planning of the area including the location of future activity centres and employment, residential areas and density targets, regional and district infrastructure, schools, public open space, road networks and the integration of public transport.
“Planning for future generations is a key aspiration in the City’s Strategic Community Plan, and the preparation of the Karnup District Structure Plan is a vital step in shaping the future of our southern suburbs,” Mayor Hamblin said.
“The DSP will be informed by a range of strategies, policies and studies prepared by both the City and the State.
The delivery of the DSP and associated works is a long-term process and the City will engage closely with local residents to ensure they are able to provide their input throughout the journey.
