Murdoch Activity Centre Structure Plan
The State Government released the final Murdoch Activity Centre Structure Plan in June 2007, after a period of public comment.
The Plan is available for download in two parts:
Also available is a Summary of the public comments received (Jan 2007) (pdf 50kb).
Background
The Structure Plan has been developed for the Murdoch Activity Centre – an area bounded by Farrington Road, South Street, Kwinana Freeway, and Murdoch Drive and the Murdoch University campus in Murdoch.
The Structure Plan will guide the future development of the Murdoch Activity Centre – and ultimately determine the most appropriate subdivision of land – so the Department of Health can develop the Fiona Stanley Hospital and related health facilities.
The document has been prepared for the Department of Health and Department for Planning and Infrastructure by consultants GHD Pty Ltd, with input from a broad range of government and private stakeholders.
It proposes to establish several major land holdings for the purpose of public health, private health, education and residential and commercial development, and considers road networks, services, environmental issues, and transit oriented development.
The Structure Plan also identifies a mixed-use residential and commercial precinct adjacent to the Murdoch rail station and the South Street bus interchange – LandCorp is expected to facilitate the release of development opportunities within the mixed-use residential and commercial precinct in the second half of 2006.
