The City of Kwinana has received revised development plans for a Drive-In Takeaway Food Shop. On 19 November 2025, an application for a McDonalds Restaurant at the above address was refused by the Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel (MODAP) for the following reasons: The built form of the development is inconsistent with the Main Street Precinct design principles of a continuous street edge and activated frontage to Chisham Avenue as set out in the Town Planning Scheme 3 clause 4.5.9.4 and the Kwinana City Centre Master Plan.The siting of the building is prejudicial to future development in accordance with the Main Street Precinct design principles set out in the Kwinana City Centre Master Plan.The applicant sought a review of the decision by the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT). As part of this review process, the applicant has submitted revised plans for reconsideration by the MODAP.  The new plans propose a building setback closer to Meares Avenue and Chisham Avenue to address the reasons for the earlier refusal of the application. The new plans also show changes to the drive-through and the removal of three existing Eucalypt trees on site rather than one tree as shown in the previous plans.  The proposed Meares Avenue McDonalds is to replace the existing nearby Kwinana McDonalds on Gilmore Avenue.SUBMISSION PERIOD: Friday 27 March 2026Further information relating to the application, including development plans, can be found under document(s) in the right sidebar on this site.Any queries relating to this application can be made by contacting the the Statutory Planning team by phone on (08) 9439 0474How can I make a comment about the proposed Development Application?If you have any comments/objections relating to the proposal, please complete the Online Submission Form below by Friday 27 March 2026.Please note: If your submission is extensive, contains images, or spans many pages, kindly use the upload feature provided in the submission form.Written submissions, including the affected property address, are not considered confidential and may be referred to the applicant to assist negotiations relating to the proposal.

Connected Kwinana: Bike and Walk Plan 2025 - 2035

<h1>Award-Winning Inspiration</h1>The Multi-Unit Dwelling (MUD) Party builds on the City&rsquo;s nationally recognised Street-by-Street initiative, winner of the 2024 WasteSorted Awards for Community Engagement. It brings that same energy and innovation to the often-overlooked world of apartments and shared housing.<h2>What is the MUD Party?</h2>The MUD Party is the next evolution of the City of Kwinana&rsquo;s award-winning Street-by-Street program, this time tailored for apartments, units, and complexes.MUDs often face unique challenges with shared bin systems, space constraints, and higher contamination rates. The MUD Party was created to meet those challenges head-on, with the same community spirit, face-to-face fun, and practical education that made Street-by-Street such a success.<h2>Why We Created It</h2>The three-bin system is now available to most homes across Kwinana, but not all.Multi-unit dwellings (like apartments and unit complexes) were left out of the first rollout. That&rsquo;s because they face some tricky challenges: <ul><li>High contamination rates: In shared bin areas, it&#39;s more common for the wrong items to end up in the wrong bin.</li><li>No clear responsibility: Everyone uses the same bins, so it&rsquo;s hard to know who&rsquo;s doing the right thing (or the wrong thing). That makes it harder to improve habits.</li><li>Not enough space or clear sign: Bin areas are often small, confusing, or missing labels, so residents don&rsquo;t always know which bin is which or what goes where.</li></ul> This program is here to change that. We&rsquo;re working directly with these sites to improve their bins, reduce contamination, and help residents get it right. <h2>What Happens at a MUD Party?</h2>The MUD Party brings everything you loved about Street-by-Street - but designed specifically for unit complexes:<ul><li>Live &lsquo;Face Your Waste&rsquo; bin audits: The Waste Team will go through your complex&rsquo;s bins with residents and give personalised feedback on how to improve sorting. It&rsquo;s a hands-on, practical way to learn what goes where, and what doesn&rsquo;t.</li><li>Games, giveaways, and prizes: Enjoy fun activities and freebies.</li><li>Talk directly with City staff: Meet friendly team members from Waste, Community Safety, and other departments. Ask questions, share ideas, and learn about the services available to your complex.</li><li>Build stronger neighbour connections: Did you know that simply knowing your neighbours is one of the best ways to improve local safety? Start a WhatsApp group or Facebook chat, share updates, and build a stronger sense of community where you live.</li></ul><h2>How It Works &ndash; Step by Step</h2> 1. Audit and AssessmentWe visit your complex to review how the current waste system is working. We check bin types, look at contamination levels, and identify where improvements can be made, whether it&rsquo;s more bins, better signage, or clearer instructions.At the same time, we&rsquo;ll carry out a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessment. This looks at how the physical environment affects safety and comfort. Recommendations might be as simple as trimming a hedge to improve visibility or adding a light to deter antisocial behaviour.2. InstallationWorking with your strata manager or board members, we organise a full bin store makeover. This can include new bins, clear signage, floor markings, colour coordination, and other tools to make waste sorting easier for everyone.3. The MUD PartyNow for the fun part! We bring our community pop-up event right to your complex. You&rsquo;ll get to see the results of the initial audit, you&rsquo;ll meet neighbours, connect with Council staff, and get involved in hands on learning about waste, safety, and community connection.4. Follow-upA few weeks later, we&rsquo;ll return for a final audit to see what&rsquo;s changed. We&rsquo;ll measure improvements, offer extra support if needed, and celebrate the progress your complex has made. <h3>Ready to Host a MUD Party at Your Complex?</h3>If you&#39;re a strata manager, resident, or committee member of a multi-unit dwelling in Kwinana, we want to hear from you.Contact your strata manager or the Waste Team at <a href="mailto:EnvironmentWaste@kwinana.wa.gov.au">environmentwaste@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a> to see if your site qualifies and book in the program.

<div class="aw-layout aw-full-width wysiwyg"><div class="uk-container uk-container-center">The Kwinana Council adopted the Kwinana Loop Trail Master Plan on 26 October which will use a phased approach to upgrade the popular trail to a shared use path for walking and mountain bike riding.The upgrade of the Kwinana Loop Trail has been identified as a major project in the City&rsquo;s Strategic Community Plan, delivering social and physical wellbeing opportunities.Mayor Carol Adams said understanding the community aspirations for the Kwinana Loop Trail has been fundamental to the development of the Master Plan.Extensive consultation was completed in September and October 2021, and further consultation will take place at the detailed design stage.&ldquo;At completion, an upgrade of the Kwinana Loop Trail will provide an economic benefit for Kwinana with local tourism, day trippers and employment opportunities located at the hubs of Sloan&rsquo;s Reserve and the Northern Trail Hub,&rdquo; Mayor Adams said.She said the vision for the Kwinana Loop Trail Master Plan was to offer locals and visitors an accessible and immersive trail experience which showcases the layers of history evident and distinctive features of the Swan Coastal Plain.&ldquo;Opportunities to tell the stories contained within the landscape will be maximised through an upgrade of interpretative signage along the trail and at key visitor sites such as Sloan&rsquo;s Cottage, WW2 Radio Communications base and Wilki Karda / Chalk Hill, Wildflower Reserve and Leda Nature Reserve as part of the Master Plan.&rdquo;Land tenure, zoning and environmental complexities have been identified as part of the assessment process in the Master Plan and will require a high level of negotiation and the development of management agreements with various State Government departments.The phased project is estimated to cost $11.45 million in total to bring it up to a Class 2 walk and Easy/Green Mountain Bike classification with a consistent hardened surface where possible, with the initial phase less than $3.4 million.The City has sought funding from the State Government and other funding sources and anticipates the community will see trail upgrade works commencing in 2026. </div></div><div class="aw-layout addthis-wrapper"><div class="uk-container uk-container-center"><div class="addthis-togglewrap" tabindex="0"><div class="aw-layout-header"><h2><a class="addthis_button_twitter at300b" href="https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/council/news/2022/november/kwinana-loop-trail-upgrades-to-a-tourism-destinati#" title="Twitter"></a></h2></div></div></div></div>

This kind of driving happens when people ignore the road rules, putting themselves and others in danger.To make our roads safer, the City of Kwinana is working with the community and WA Police to tackle this issue in several ways: What are Police doing: WA Police enforce road rules and traffic teams will attend areas being reported. What are the City doing: The City will help improve road safety by checking vehicle speeds around Kwinana. If cars are going too fast in certain areas, we work with Main Roads WA to change speed limits or put up new signs. When we find spots where speeding or unsafe driving happens a lot, we look at ways to redesign the road. This might include adding speed bumps, roundabouts, better signs, or clearer road markings to remind people to slow down and drive safely.Do you want to know more about road safety projects that the City is undertaking? <a href="https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/property-and-pets/community-safety/traffic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here</a> to find out more.

<h1>Runnymede Gate Project Update</h1>Community consultation for the Runnymede Gate project was completed in April 2025, with results showing overall support.The City is now working closely with the consultant and progressing through the design phase. The proposed timeline for the project is:Design Completion: By June 2026Construction completion: 2026&ndash;27 Financial YearBackgroundWe&#39;ve assessed Runnymede Gate in response to concerns raised by the local community. Traffic surveys recorded 85th percentile speeds reaching 63km/h, exceeding the 50 km/h limit by 26%, and there is a noticeable &quot;rat-running&quot; traffic pattern, where drivers use Runnymede Gate to bypass arterial routes and avoid busier intersections. Crash statistics show that more than 20 crashes have occurred along above-mentioned segment in the past five years, with 7 crashes resulting in medical or hospital severity. In addition, this segment serves as critical corridor for cyclists and pedestrians walking to Wellard Village. In response to these challenges, the City has secured funding from the Main Roads WA Black Spot Funding program for this project, with detailed design scheduled for the 2025-26 financial year, with construction planned for the 2026-27 financial year. What&rsquo;s Being Proposed? We&rsquo;re proposing to install Raised Road Safety platforms along the above-mentioned segment. These low-profile, Watts profile safety platforms are designed to:<ul style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:16px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:justify;'>Reduce vehicle speeds and accidents</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:16px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:justify;'>Be cost-effective to install and maintain</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:16px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:justify;'>Help reduce traffic volumes and discourage through traffic</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:16px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:justify;'>Provide a visual cue for drivers to slow down and adjust to a safer driving environment</li></ul> <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/c5b82c8542cae6b7ec613fa4a794129663bb4450/original/1742443551/f504db38b86200dee1cd75be22fb7918_Picture1.png?1742443551" style="width: 367px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">(An example of the proposed Watts Profile Safety Platforms) Compared to traditional speed humps, these watts profile safety platforms will provide smoother transitions, reduce noise, improve emergency vehicle access, and enhance drainage. While they may add a minute or two to your travel time, the safety benefits for everyone&mdash;drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists&mdash;are well worth it. Share your experienceIt is important that the people that live and work in these areas can share their experience in relation to traffic issues in their local neighbourhood. We want to insert this knowledge in the design process, to create traffic plans to address local issues. <table style="width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 29.1259%;">Questions or queries? </td><td style="width: 70.6024%;"> </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 29.1259%;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/7069af4ead58b6fde2924c55e65b0aca461c79dd/original/1742441067/afe80df345fe9cacdec90e6fdd85457a_3.JPG?1742441067" style="width: 39px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></td><td style="width: 70.6024%;">Call (08) 9439 0200 </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 29.1259%;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/15b1938930f012b7ad0f819268b43463f010889d/original/1742441039/0d6e0f31c3447ba950589cd6f68e9006_4.JPG?1742441039" style="width: 38px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></td><td style="width: 70.6024%;">Email <a href="mailto:customer@kwinana.wa.gov.au">customer@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a></td></tr></tbody></table> We understand that changes like this can raise questions, and we&rsquo;re here to address any concerns you might have.

The City recognises the social model of disability. From this perspective, the way to address disability is to change the environment and society, rather than people with disabilities.

The City of Kwinana is seeking comment on the Casuarina Central Structure Plan (SP) amendment that has been lodged with the City for assessment.The Casuarina Central Precinct SP (SPN 2235) was initially approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 11 May 2021. This proposed amendment to the SP (&lsquo;Amendment 1&rsquo;) represents an extension of the existing SP area (referred to as the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo;), in addition to minor consequential modifications to land within the existing SP area. The proposed modifications to both the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; and Existing SP Area are summarised as follows:<ol><li>Expansion Area: Expansion of Structure Plan Area to include Lots 1, 2, 23, 24 and portion of Lot 25 Orton Road, Casuarina and designation of land as &lsquo;Residential&rsquo;, &lsquo;Special Use&rsquo;, &lsquo;Parks, Recreation and Drainage&rsquo; and &lsquo;Public Purpose&rsquo;.</li><li>Existing SP Area: Modification to road classification and increase in road reservation width of &lsquo;Major Access Street&rsquo; (18m reserve) west of Primary School and playing fields to a &lsquo;Neighbourhood Connector&rsquo; (25m reserve).</li><li>Existing SP Area: Modification to Landgren Road intersection treatments and classification from &lsquo;Neighbourhood Connector&rsquo; to &lsquo;Major Access Street&rsquo; and removal of any road widening requirement consequently.</li><li>Existing SP Area: Change in land use designation of Local Centre site to Residential (R40-R60). Amendment 1</li></ol>&lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo;The &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; represents an area of land 21.93 hectares (ha) located between the approved Casuarina Central SP and the Casuarina North SP. Prior to subdivision or development of the land, an approved structure plan is required.As such, this amendment seeks to expand the approved Central SP area to encompass this land.Local structure planning for the inclusion of the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; has had due regard to district level planning for the Casuarina Urban Cell, including the need to accommodate district hard courts adjacent to the proposed senior planning fields and allow a key north-south Neighbourhood Connector through the Casuarina Cell to support consolidated urban development. Due regard has also been given to coordination of infrastructure between the northern and central precincts through the provision of land for a waste water pump station (WWPS) to service both precincts.The amendment for the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; establishes a set of land use, development and subdivision requirements to guide the form of development that is consistent with the accepted urban design principles of the approved SP and has clear regard for the identified issues and opportunities that affect the &lsquo;Extension Area&rsquo;. Proposed land use designations and reservations within the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; include:<ul><li>The existing Costa Mushroom Farm on Lot 1 has been designated as &ldquo;Special Use&rdquo; with a proposed permissible land use of Mushroom Production Facility and to allow an incidental office.</li><li>The western portion of Lot 2 has been designated as &ldquo;Parks, Recreation and Drainage&rdquo; and has a Power Easement notation over the area to support the protection of the Western Power easement.</li><li>A portion of Lot 2 is designated for &ldquo;Public Purpose &ndash; Water Supply Sewerage and Drainage&rdquo; to allow a sewer pump station to support the Casuarina North and Casuarina Central cells.</li><li>The remainder of Lot 2 and the entire Lot 23 Orton Road have been designated as &ldquo;Residential&rdquo; with a proposed density coding range of R25-R40.</li><li>Lot 24 and a portion of Lot 25 Orton Road are designated as &ldquo;Parks, Recreation and Drainage&rdquo; and will accommodate the District Sporting Ground and support the retention of the resource enhancement wetland (REW) on the land including the provision of a 30m buffer around the REW.</li></ul>Existing SP AreaAs a result of detailed planning to include the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; within the overall Casuarina Central Precinct SP, minor consequential modifications were required to be undertaken to the approved SP.Further investigations of the district movement network associated with the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; have identified the need to shift the alignment of the neighbourhood connector further west from Landgren Road to a more central location to improve opportunities to coordinate and implement a connection between Thomas and Mortimer Roads. Accordingly, modification to the road classification, intersection treatments and road reservation width from west of Primary School and playing fields from a &lsquo;Major Access Street&rsquo; (18m reserve) to a &lsquo;Neighbourhood Connector&rsquo; (25m reserve) is proposed under this Amendment. As a result of these changes to the district movement network, there is the need to downgrade the classification of Landgren Road to a &lsquo;major access street&rsquo;.In conjunction with this planning, a retail needs assessment also identified that the planned Casuarina Central Local Centre is not expected to be commercially viable in either the short term or longer term and should be removed from the Structure Plan area. Accordingly, the Local Centre is proposed to be removed from the SP area and replaced with Residential, with the density of the lots designated as R40-R60 to align with the surrounding R40-R60 density coding adjacent to the future primary school.No other changes to residential density designations, Public Open Space (POS), School Sites or Service Commercial areas are proposed within the existing SP area.Technical AppendicesTechnical reports relating to the environment, bushfire, odour, transport, landscaping, urban water management and servicing have been prepared as addendums to the original approved technical reports for the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo;. Minor modifications to the original technical reports prepared in support of the approved Casuarina Central Precinct SP have also been undertaken to ensure alignment with the proposed modifications for the &lsquo;Existing SP Area&rsquo;.Submissions Submissions on the proposed Casuarina Central Structure Plan amendment may be made using the Submission Form before 27th February 2024. Alternatively submissions may be emailed to Planning.Team@kwinana.wa.gov.au or can be made in writing and posted to City of Kwinana, PO Box 21, Kwinana WA 6966 Consideration by Council The proposed amendment to Casuarina Central Structure Plan was considered by Council on Wednesday 22nd May 2024. Please use the link below to see the Report and the minutes (item 17.2). The proposed amendment and Council&#39;s Report and decision has now been forwarded to the WAPC to be considered as part of their assessment.<a href="https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/council/council-and-city-administration/minutes-and-agendas">https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/council/council-and-city-administration/minutes-and-agendas</a>

For all details on the final design, to keep updated with the build and opening celebrations of the Jump Track, please follow the News Feed Tab below.</h4> <h3> </h3><h3>Project Background:</h3>A group of Wandi residents raised concerns with the City of Kwinana around the lack of activities and infrastructure for youth in Wandi/Honeywood. The initial request was for a pump track, or similar skate/bike infrastructure, to be built.A number of dirt jumps had been constructed by young people in a bush area, which the City unfortunately had to clear due to <a href="https://www.dbca.wa.gov.au/parks-and-wildlife-service/threat-management/plant-diseases/phytophthora-dieback#:~:text=Phytophthora%20dieback%20(dieback)%20is%20a,probably%20on%20infected%20horticultural%20plants." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dieback</a><a href="https://www.dbca.wa.gov.au/parks-and-wildlife-service/threat-management/plant-diseases/phytophthora-dieback#:~:text=Phytophthora%20dieback%20(dieback)%20is%20a,probably%20on%20infected%20horticultural%20plants." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> being prominent in that space.On Tuesday 29 November, 2022, City staff met with a group of around 20 residents at the Honeywood Oval to discuss ideas about youth activities in the area.<h3>Discussion:</h3>Many great ideas were raised by residents, which have been captured on the ideas board below, <a href="https://www.lovemykwinana.com/wandi-honeywood-teenager-activities/brainstormers/ideas-for-youth-activities">be sure to add your ideas too!</a> There were suggestions around pump tracks, skate facilities, dirt jumps, trails etc. and also other sporting equipment like 1-1 basketball courts.<h3>Outcomes:</h3>While it is not possible at this stage to commit to hard infrastructure, the City officers are working with the community on the following:<ul><li>Transport options to attend January 2023 School Holiday Programs at The Edge Skatepark (pick up and drop off, from Honeywood Pavilion, advanced registration is required, more details in the News Feed below).</li><li>Investigate hosting youth programs in Wandi.</li><li>Engaging with local youth to identify and explore longer term options for infrastructure in the area.</li></ul>To keep up to date with news on this topic and activities available for young people, please subscribe to follow this page.

All scheme amendments open for comment are listed below.Occasionally, it is necessary to amend the City&rsquo;s Local Planning Scheme. When a change is proposed to the Local Planning Scheme, it is referred to as a Scheme Amendment. A Scheme Amendment can be proposed by landowners, the City itself or State Government agencies.Scheme Amendments occur for a variety of reasons including:<ul><li>To implement the strategic vision of the Local Planning Strategy</li><li>To ensure orderly and proper planning.</li><li>A change in the Scheme&rsquo;s wording to ensure more effective planning</li><li>A change in zoning</li><li>A change in the residential density coding</li></ul>There are three types of Scheme Amendments; Basic, Standard and Complex as defined in the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.

<div class="aw-layout aw-full-width wysiwyg"><div class="uk-container uk-container-center"> The Kwinana Loop Trail Upgrade has been identified as a major project within the City&rsquo;s Strategic Community Plan, delivering social and physical wellbeing opportunities to the community. It is earmarked for completion over the next few years. The project has received state funding commitment of 3.5 million towards the upgrade of the trail surface, safe connections and realignments and a further commitment of 2.5 million towards by the federal government towards the development of Trail Hubs and an Urban Bike Park. The City is excited to be able to bring this upgrade to the trail, that will offer both locals and visitors an accessible and immersive trail experience showcasing layers of history and distinctive natural features of the Swan Coastal Plan over a distance of 21 kilometres. The first phase of works is expected to commence in the first half of 2026. This stage will focus on ensuring the trail connections are safe to use and easy to navigate. The remaining phases will focus on improvement to the trails surface in Leda Nature Reserve, and surface improvements and realignments to reduce ongoing erosion issues on the Trail through Unallocated Crown Land to the west of the City.For more information please check our Frequently Asked Questions. </div></div><div class="aw-layout addthis-wrapper"><div class="uk-container uk-container-center"><div class="addthis-togglewrap" tabindex="0"><div class="aw-layout-header"> </div></div></div></div>
