Mosman Park Station Precinct - Improvement Scheme Draft

On 5 November 2026, the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) released the draft Station Precincts Improvement Scheme No.1 for public comment as part of the State Government's Precinct WA initiative. The draft Scheme follows the WAPC’s endorsement of Station Precincts Improvement Plan No. 65 in July. To view the draft Scheme and supporting documents, please click here.

The draft Scheme applies to eight station precincts, including Mosman Park. It sets out the zoning, residential densities, building heights and development controls proposed for land inside the Mosman Park Station precinct boundary.


What this means

Across the eight precincts, the draft Scheme proposes:

  • a core area closest to the station allowing higher-density development of up to 20 storeys
  • a surrounding frame area that steps down to medium-density development of two to eight storeys
  • minimum densities so that land in the precinct isn’t underdeveloped
  • a draft Station Precincts Heritage Policy to protect existing State and local heritage listings
  • a public realm contributions framework to replace the separate requirements for public open space, public art and community benefits

The heights and densities proposed for Mosman Park are set out in the Mosman Park Precinct document and the draft Scheme Maps.

Once the Improvement Scheme is finalised, it will replace the Town’s Local Planning Scheme No. 3 inside the precinct boundary, and planning control for that land will pass from the Town to the WAPC.


Whats Next?

You can comment on the draft Scheme directly through to DPLH via the Have Your Say WA page. Public comment closes on 12 February 2027.

DPLH is holding a community drop-in session for the Mosman Park precinct on Tuesday 17 November 2026, 4pm to 7pm, at Alexandra Hall, St Luke’s Anglican Church, 16-18 Monument Street, Mosman Park.

The Town is working through the draft Scheme to form a position on it, and will keep working with the WAPC and DPLH throughout the process.

We’d like to hear what the community thinks of the proposals. Your feedback will help shape the Town’s position, which will go to Council for consideration in February 2027.

You can share your comments with the Town using the survey on this page.

As the Improvement Scheme has been 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 and communicate the position of our community through the consultation process.

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.


Stay informed

We'll continue to update this page as the project progresses, please refer to the News Feed below and Documents and FAQ's to the right hand side of this page.
