The City of Melville is reviewing Local Planning Scheme No. 6 (LPS6), which guides how land is used and developed across the City.

Under the Planning and Development Act 2005, local planning schemes must be reviewed periodically to ensure they remain current, respond to changing community needs and align with State planning requirements.

A key focus of the review is planning for future growth. With the City expected to accommodate approximately 18,000 additional dwellings by 2050, the review will help determine where and how future housing, employment and community infrastructure should be planned.

Building on previous feedback

Since 2021, the community has helped shape the review by identifying key issues and providing feedback at key stages of the review. During the 2024 engagement, the City received 669 submissions. This feedback, together with technical studies and further planning work, has helped refine the proposed changes now being presented for community feedback.

How to participate

There are several ways to get involved, so you can choose the option that suits you best. Make a submission online or by hard copy (in writing), attend a drop-in information session, pop into the Civic Centre to speak with a planner, or express your interest in joining a Community Focus Group.
