Perth and Peel @3.5 million includes ambitious targets to house communities in areas on and near busy urban corridors, in activity centres and station precincts. To do this, our major streets must be more than just vehicle arterials, they will become important places for community, too. If well-designed they can be places we walk, cycle, and catch transit; places to stop and pick up a morning coffee; places to meet a friend; and places to live.

In Perth, there has been progression towards the Movement and Place approach gaining recognition and being tested and adopted. We have the opportunity to reconsider our streets to recognise their place value as well as their movement function.

This session will help you prepare for those considerations in your local area.

Discretion in planning is exercised whenever the decision maker has the power to make a choice about whether to approve, not approve or conditionally approve a planning proposal. Discretion can be broadly applied or can be guided by legislation and policies.

Discretionary decision-making is at the very core of good planning practice. The role of the decision maker is to make a judgement, having taken into account all relevant information and planning requirements. Clear and transparent planning decisions protect the integrity of the planning system and decision makers.
