PLANNING
LATITUDE 32 AND FLINDERS PRECINCT PLANNING DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
Three planning documents to guide the future development of Flinders Precinct and the Wattleup townsite have been finalised and will soon be available for public comment.
The Draft Local Structure Plan and Design Guidelines for Planning Area 2 of Latitude 32 will shape future development, subdivision and infrastructure provision. It builds on the existing District Structure Plan, which has been submitted to the Western Australian Planning Commission with approval expected within the next few months.
The Draft Local Structure Plan proposes a mix of transport-related industry including container handling areas, distribution centres, warehouses and storage facilities.
Key issues examined in the plan include:
• Proposed relocation of the local commercial centre to a site between Dalison Avenue and the future Rowley Road
• Resolution of infrastructure requirements to service the area
• A future biodiversity corridor along Rowley Road
• Protection and validation of the east west road alignment and the interchange
The development of the Draft Local Structure Plan was guided by two landowner workshops held on 30 August and 14 September 2011. The sessions were extremely productive and feedback indicated Latitude 32 landowners were satisfied with the content and form of the plan.

Also available for public comment are the revised Design Guidelines for Flinders Precinct.
The original design guidelines were adopted by the Western Australian Planning and Development Committee on 26 August 2008, but number of small modifications would improve the delivery of the Flinders Precinct Structure Plan and the Master Plan.
The revisions follow a number of workshops comprising LandCorp, industry participants and local authority representatives, where it was agreed practical changes to the Flinders Design Guidelines would:
• Lead to better development, landscaping and sustainability outcomes.
• Make them simpler and easier to use.
• Draw on lessons already learnt in the development and approval of the Flinders Precinct.
