Outcome
To accompany the submission of a strategic-level Local Structure Plan for the Forrestfield North District in Perth, Western Australia, our land development team was appointed by Element to design, lead, and deliver all environmental aspects of this project, which included the following:
- Technical assessment of the environmental values of the project site
- Design and implementation of all aspects of the hydrological investigations and management strategies
- Development approval strategy, including engagement with all relevant stakeholders, specifically, Department of Environment and Energy (DEE), Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, Office of the EPA
- Development of Metropolitan Region Scheme amendment documentation (Environmental Assessment Report) demonstrating an approach whereby the key environmental values would be considered, with an opportunity for significant levels of protection through the Local Structure Plan stage
The objective of "advice only" from the EPA was achieved.
The Local Structure Plan process actively engaged stakeholders, including community groups, Aboriginal stakeholders, and Agencies, to achieve an appropriate balance between development and social and environmental objectives.
