At the City of Fremantle’s Ordinary Meeting of Council on 15 January 2014 council recommended that the city prepare a set of planning provisions to allow for the development of moderately sized housing within existing residential areas in the City. This recommendation was in recognition of Fremantle’s need to provide a greater diversity of housing choice as well as increase its infi ll dwelling numbers to meet strategic planning goals. The form of the new planning provisions is a proposed amendment to Local Planning Scheme No.4 (LPS 4) with accompanying design guidelines.
Fremantle housing diversity
The objective of this study is to test and refi ne the spatial outcomes of the proposed amendment, offer advice on their implications and make recommendations related both to the regulations contained in the planning scheme amendment and accompanying design guidelines. How can existing planning controls be modifi ed to achieve contextually appropriate diverse infi ll housing in suburban areas of Fremantle?
