Draft Morley Station Precinct Structure Plan and TPS 24 Scheme Amendment 100

BACKGROUND

In 2021 Metronet prepared the Morley Station Precinct CONCEPT MASTER PLAN; a big-picture plan for the area around the new train station. The City of Bayswater has now commenced work to guide future development of the neighbourhood around the new train station; to enable more housing, local business opportunities and public open space upgrades.

To achieve this the City of Bayswater has developed a detailed structure plan for the Morley Station area, which will help define what the future of the area will look like, including type of buildings, land use, population numbers, and what facilities will be included.

The City engaged consultant Hames Sharley to prepare the Precinct Structure Plan, and technical investigations commenced in late 2023 to inform the local traffic and transport management, noise impact, local water management, heritage and infrastructure servicing strategies. These will be ongoing until finalisation of the Precinct Structure Plan.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

In March 2024 we held two very well attended community workshops where participants were asked to consider how future development should occur to make the Morley Station Precinct a better place for everyone i.e. how things should look and feel, and the types of activities and services provided.

The project team prepared ‘principles’ to reflect the feedback received. To ensure we translated community feedback properly an online survey was run to understand the community support for the principles. The community engagement outcomes report can be downloaded here.

WHAT'S NEXT

The consultants have finalised the concept design and prepared a draft Precinct Structure Plan.

The draft plan was considered by Council in December 2024; the recommendation for community engagement (following assessment by the Minister of Planning) was supported, with public advertising likely to take place in the first half of 2025.

The City will also lodge a request to the Department of Planning Lands and Heritage to change the underlying zonings, which will also be advertised. The December Council meeting agenda is available here agendas and minutes
