Station Precinct Planning Update July 2026


The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has endorsed Station Precincts Improvement Plan No. 65 on July 24 as part of the State Government's Precincts WA initiative. More information on Precincts WA please click here.


The Improvement Plan identifies the planning boundary for the Mosman Park Station precinct and establishes a broad framework that will guide future planning for housing and development around the station.



What this means

The Improvement Plan:

  • confirms the Station Precinct boundary, generally extending within an 800-metre walk of Mosman Park Station
  • identifies a 'core' area closest to the station where higher-density housing is anticipated over time (pink shading)
  • identifies a surrounding 'frame' area that is expected to accommodate a transition to medium-density housing (blue shading)
  • provides the strategic direction for preparing a future Station Precinct Improvement Scheme.


Importantly, the Improvement Plan does not introduce new zoning, building heights or development controls. These will be developed as part of the forthcoming Improvement Scheme.


What happens next?

The WAPC is now preparing the Station Precinct Improvement Scheme, which will establish:

  • zoning and residential density codes (R-Codes)
  • development controls and design requirements
  • the planning framework that will apply within the Station Precinct.


Once gazetted, the Improvement Scheme will replace the Town's Local Planning Scheme No. 3 for land within the Improvement Scheme boundary, with planning decisions to be administered by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) on behalf of the WAPC.


The State Government has advised that the draft Improvement Scheme will be released for public consultation later this year, providing the community with an opportunity to review the detailed planning controls and provide feedback before they are finalised.


As the Improvement Scheme is being prepared by DPLH on behalf of the Western Australian Planning Commission, enquiries about the Improvement Plan, Improvement Scheme or the Precincts WA process should be directed to the DPLH Precincts and Projects Team at stationprecincts@dplh.wa.gov.au.


The Town's role

The Town will continue to work with the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage throughout the preparation of the Improvement Scheme.


Our focus will be to advocate for planning outcomes that:

  • respond to the unique character of Mosman Park
  • support high-quality urban design
  • deliver appropriate transitions in built form
  • encourage diverse and affordable housing in suitable locations
  • maximise community benefits as the precinct evolves.

    The Town of Mosman Park has provided its formal response to the Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) Draft Mosman Park Station Precinct Improvement Plan, following community consultation and review of the proposal.

    On 16 November 2025, the Minister for Planning, Lands and Heritage announced that the WA Government would resume control over 10 station precincts across the Perth Metropolitan Area, including Mosman Park Train Station. The WAPC subsequently notified the Town of its intention to prepare an Improvement Plan for an 800m radius around the station.

    Community consultation was conducted by the Town of Mosman Park between 12 December 2025 and 20 January 2026, including direct correspondence with affected landowners. The Town received 125 submissions, of which 34 were supportive or conditionally supportive, 76 were opposed, and 15 offered no position.

    This feedback has informed a report to Council and a subsequent resolution of council, which has been provided to the WAPC Chairperson Emma Cole, including details of all submissions received.

    The Town has met with WAPC representatives to discuss alignment with the existing local planning framework and the integration of infrastructure, transport, and future development.

    Council has resolved to:

    • Support the current advanced local planning framework, advocating for the Draft Mosman Park Village Precinct Structure Plan and Scheme Amendment 11 to Local Planning Scheme No.3 to be endorsed and advertised.

    • Request that the WAPC genuinely engage with the community, in line with best practice standards, and consider all submissions.

    • Encourage the incorporation of the Town’s detailed planning work into the Improvement Plan.

    • Advocate for funding and resources for an integrated transport strategy, prioritising level crossing removals, accessible infrastructure, and connections between Fremantle and Perth.

    • Seek delegated authority to maintain development control over single-house developments and ensure community benefits are integrated into future planning.

    The Town will continue to work collaboratively with the WAPC and the WA Government to ensure that Mosman Park Station precinct developments balance community input, sustainable housing growth, and improved transport infrastructure for the region.
