1. There is no critical shortage of land zoned for urban purposes in the Peel Region. The Department for Planning Infrastructure calculated (2006 figures - information contained in the recently released report by the Land Release Co-ordinator) that there is approximately 2600 hectares of undeveloped land zoned either Urban or Urban Deferred within the City of Mandurah and Shire of Murray. This is sufficient to bring on an anticipated 23,000 to 26,000 residential dwellings, subject to detailed planning.
2. Many variables can affect the period for rezoning land from Rural to Urban in any planning scheme, including the Peel Region Scheme. Accordingly, there is no single answer to this question.
Among other things, the range of possible variables includes the need (or otherwise) for urban land in a given locality, the strategic suitability of the subject land and its own intrinsic capability for urban use. Other factors can include the proximity of the land to essential services, employment opportunities, community facilities, transportation networks and other similar considerations. These can vary considerably from one area to another.
In some circumstances, the duration of the amendment process can be affected by the time a landowner takes to commission studies, where necessary, to demonstrate the suitability of the use proposed by the owner.
A statutory process for the amendment of a region planning scheme is stipulated by the
Planning and Development Act 2005
. The duration of this process can be affected considerably, either way, by variables such as those just mentioned.
