Answer
(a) The four sites are Rimmer Lane, Kenwick; Balfour Street, Huntingdale; Lord Street/Barrambie Way, Whiteman and Beechboro Road North, Whiteman. The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is being assisted with the examination of these sites by the Department of Housing (DoH) who have agreed to prepare suitable rezoning documents.
Rimmer Lane (Lots 9, 10 & 11) and Balfour Street (Lot 880):
Initial environmental investigations have been undertaken to identify the possible presence of contamination at the sites based on past known land uses.
The DoH is presently negotiating with the City of Gosnells to rezone the land at Rimmer Lane for use as park homes whilst the environmental studies are conducted. The property in Balfour Street is not considered suitable by DoH for park home development and will be developed by the Housing Authority as "in fill" residential lots.
Lord Street/Barrambie Way (Lot 96)
The DoH is presently negotiating with the City of Swan to rezone the land for use as park homes.
Beechboro Road North (Lot 11)
The City of Swan has approved the rezoning of the property for use as park homes however this site is unlikely to be further considered for this purpose as the area has been identified for broader industrial use under the draft Industrial Land Use Strategy. Its use for a park home site would depend upon detailed structure planning and interface/integration with the form of industrial uses that might emerge.
b) See above
c) No.
d) Necessary planning approvals and re-zonings are expected to take up to 18 months if constraints can be overcome. The progress of the Rimmer Lane site will be subject to the outcome of further environmental investigations and the extent of any remediation required.
e) An alternative WAPC owned site located on surplus urban zoned land between the Perth - Darwin Highway and Lord Street at Albion is also being considered for this initiative in the event Lot 96 or Lot 11 prove unsuitable.
