Land Use and Transport Infrastructure Policy and Planning

Land use and transport infrastructure planning and implementation strategies to guide the state's long-term urban settlement and social and economic development, coordination and development of strategic transport policies and plans.

Efficiency indicator: The extent to which operational efficiency of planning service delivery is achieved for land use and transport infrastructure policy and planning.

A major role of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure is the development of an integrated approach to the planning of land use and transport infrastructure.

To ensure an integrated approach to land use the Department provides services to facilitate the implementation of creative and innovative strategic plans and policies for the Perth metropolitan area. The Department provides resources to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) to enable:

  • The acquisition and management of properties reserved under Perth's Metropolitan Region Scheme for important urban roads, controlled access highways, parks and recreational reserves, special uses and major land redevelopment projects;
  • The disposal of surplus properties;
  • The management of rental properties; and
  • Other special planning projects to be undertaken within the Perth metropolitan area.

To ensure an integrated state transport system the Department determines future directions and the development and implementation of policies and strategies.

This section demonstrates the cost of statutory, consultative and coordination services direct to the WAPC in its strategic planning, and the cost of developing and coordinating strategic transport policies and plans.
