Project Information - FAQs

A tool to apportion the costs of key infrastructure based on beneficiary pays.

Key infrastructure includes roads (major dual carriageways and Russell Road upgrade), land for sewerage works, zoned substations and drainage as well as to achieve environmental outcomes through provision of key natural areas.

Generally, the landowner with the higher land level is responsible for the cost of a retaining wall. You are encouraged to discuss retaining and boundary wall costs with your neighbour.

The structure plan guides how development will be undertaken within the area. It is therefore essential that a structure plan is approved before any redevelopment occurs.

Landowners are able to develop at any time, subject to achieving final redevelopment levels and development in accordance with an approved Structure Plan for your development area. Landowners are encouraged to consider development with adjoining land owners.

If you're a landowner and interested in opportunities for sand and limestone to be extracted from your property, prior to commencing work you must submit a Development Application with your local council. Council will advise of additional requirements to be submitted with the application.

The levels which sand and limestone can be extracted to is identified within the Levels Planning Policy.

As part of its role to administer the Development Contribution Plan, DevelopmentWA will install key infrastructure including sewerage pump stations, drainage, land for electrical zoned substations and district distributor roads.

Timing of this key infrastructure is dependent on sufficient funds being collected from the Development Contribution Plan.

Individual developers will be responsible for servicing their development and may also be  required to provide key infrastructure, which would be subject to reimbursement from the Development Contribution Plan.

All landowners who intend to develop will be required to contribute payments in line with the Developer Contribution Plan for their development area.

Should landowners fail to make their contribution they will be unable to obtain subdivision clearances or commence construction in accordance with an approved building permit. They will need to make sure they can meet this obligation prior to submitting a subdivision application OR prior to the issue of a Building Licence/as condition of development, whichever is earlier.

The payment will be in line with the Development Contribution Plan for your development area.

Where subdivision is involved, payment is due prior to the issue of subdivision clearances. Where development is to occur without subdivision, payment is due prior to issue of a Building Permit as a condition of development, whichever is earlier.

The Master Plan allows for temporary approvals.

Temporary development can be undertaken prior to structure plan approval, in accordance with the Latitude 32 Development of Land Policy. Refer to the Development of Land Policy at the bottom of the page.

Following approval of a structure plan, temporary development will be considered in limited circumstances depending on compliance with the approved levels plan (within the structure plan) and timing from the development front or development by others.

Development is nearing completion within Flinders Precinct.

DevelopmentWA is expected to commence sand and limestone extraction within Development Area 3 in late 2019 and work on Development Area 6 in 2020, with further development across the 1400ha taking place subject to demand.

DevelopmentWA owns less than 20% of land in Latitude 32, this includes Flinders Precinct, the first development within Latitude 32 and land within Development Area 2 (former Wattleup townsite) and also the former Cockburn Cement quarry.

The private sector will develop the bulk of Latitude 32.

Main Roads WA has indicated 2031 for Rowley Road and the upgrade of Anketell Road and are working on a plan and timing for the Fremantle Rockingham Controlled Access Highway (FRCAH).

There are opportunities for sand and limestone to be extracted to reach the final redevelopment levels. The levels which sand can be extracted to is identified within the Levels Planning Policy

On the 12th September 2017 the State Government announced the Westport - Port and Environs Strategy which will outline a long-range vision to guide the planning, development and growth of both the Inner Harbour at Fremantle and the Outer Harbour at Kwinana. A report is expected late 2019.

This plan, to be developed by a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary project team will set out how the port and its associated landside transport linkages are expected to develop in order to ensure the future freight, trade and logistics requirements of Perth and the surrounding regions are met for the next 50 years and beyond.

Yes, but the payment varies between development areas. The development contribution plans will be finalised when the Westport Port and Environs Strategy is close to being completed.

The Westport Taskforce is currently preparing a Westport Port and Environs Strategy, expected to be completed late 2019, it is expected to include an intermodal terminal. Latitude 32 is one of the proposed locations.

The taskforce includes experts from key Government agencies responsible for planning, transport, environment, jobs and finances.

Main Roads WA has indicated 2031 for Rowley Road and the upgrade of Anketell Road and are working on a plan and timing for the Fremantle Rockingham Controlled Access Highway (FRCAH).

A tool to apportion the costs of key infrastructure based on beneficiary pays.

Key infrastructure includes roads (major dual carriageways and Russell Road upgrade), land for sewerage works, zoned substations and drainage as well as to achieve environmental outcomes through provision of key natural areas.

If your land is in the area proposed for the freight terminal, please contact the Department of Planning, Land and Heritage's Property Management Services team on 9264 7777 to discuss your options.

There are a large number of landowners spread across Latitude 32 and to allow for all requirements to convert the land from rural use to industrial use (e.g. engineering and infrastructure requirements, servicing and redevelopment levels), your land must be developed in a coordinated manner and in accordance with your development area’s structure plan.

Please refer to Section 159 within the Planning and Development Act 2005. In line with the act, if a landowner on an adjoining road to your development wishes to develop their property after you they must contribute to the original cost of establishing the road.

These roads are classified as Primary Regional Roads under the control of Main Roads. There is no direct access from individual lots, however there is anticipated to be access via future Latitude 32 roads such as the North South District Distributor Road to Russell and Rowley Roads.

Generally, the landowner with the higher land level is responsible for the cost of a retaining wall. You are encouraged to discuss retaining and boundary wall costs with your neighbour.

Development is nearing completion within Flinders Precinct.

DevelopmentWA is expected to commence sand and limestone extraction within Development Area 3 in late 2019 and work on Development Area 6 in 2020, with further development across the 1400ha taking place subject to demand.

Shared infrastructure will be provided through the appropriate service agency as well as the Developer Contribution Plan. Individual infrastructure required to service your land will be a development cost to the landowner.

DevelopmentWA's key role in Latitude 32 is to complete structure planning to enable development to proceed. DevelopmentWA has finalised structure planning for Development Areas 1, 2, 3.

As Latitude 32 will play a significant role in the Westport Port and Environs Strategy, planning for Development Areas 4 and 5 will now form part of the strategy.

DevelopmentWA is now investigating how it can develop its landholdings within Development Area 6 to continue to supply land beyond Flinders Precinct and to also activate the surrounding landowners.

You will not be asked to leave your property and there are three options for you.

• Sell your property on the open market,
• Stay and continue with your approved use, or
• Redevelop your land for industrial use.

If you're a landowner and interested in opportunities for sand and limestone to be extracted from your property, prior to commencing work you must submit a Development Application with your local council. Council will advise of additional requirements to be submitted with the application.

The Westport Taskforce is currently preparing a Westport Port and Environs Strategy, expected to be completed late 2019, it is expected to include an intermodal terminal. Latitude 32 is one of the proposed locations.

The taskforce includes experts from key Government agencies responsible for planning, transport, environment, jobs and finances.

An intermodal terminal is the transfer point from one mode of transport to
another and is an integral part of transport and logistics. The size and location of the proposed Kwinana intermodal terminal is being considered in the State Government’s Westport Port and Environs Strategy.

Main Roads WA has indicated 2031 for Rowley Road and the upgrade of Anketell Road and are working on a plan and timing for the Fremantle Rockingham Controlled Access Highway (FRCAH).

"A" use means that the use is not permitted unless the Western Australian Planning Commission has exercised its discretion by granting planning approval after notifying relevant Government agencies and landowners likely to be affected by the granting of the planning approval.

Any applications for development (including construction of or additions to any building or structure, demolition of any building or structure) or change of use, requires an Application for Planning Approval (also known as Development Approval) and may also require a Building Permit. Applications for planning approval are to use the dedicated form and sent to either the City of Cockburn or the City of Kwinana, depending on the location of the property.

Due to the surrounding major road and rail network and Latitude 32's proximity to the Kwinana and Rockingham industrial areas, Australian Marine Complex and the proposed outer harbor, light, general and transport industries are invisaged within Latitude 32.

Latitude 32 is a 1,400ha master-planned industrial area that will offer a variety of land uses.

A number of multi-national businesses have started operating out of Flinders Precinct, the first development undertaken Latitude 32.
