Frequently Asked Questions

A tool to apportion the costs of key infrastructure based on beneficiary pays. Key infrastructure includes roads (major dual carriageways and Russell Road upgrade), land for sewerage works, zoned substations and drainage as well as to achieve environmental outcomes through provision of key natural areas.

Generally, the landowner with the higher land level is responsible for the cost of a retaining wall. You are encouraged to discuss retaining and boundary wall costs with your neighbour.

The structure plan guides how development will be undertaken within the area. It is therefore essential that a structure plan is approved before any redevelopment occurs.

Landowners are able to develop at any time, subject to achieving final redevelopment levels and development in accordance with an approved Structure Plan for your development area. Landowners are encouraged to consider development with adjoining land owners.

If you're a landowner and interested in opportunities for sand and limestone to be extracted from your property, prior to commencing work you must submit a Development Application with your local council. Council will advise of additional requirements to be submitted with the application. The levels which sand and limestone can be extracted to is identified within the Levels Planning Policy.

As part of its role to administer the Development Contribution Plan, LandCorp will install key infrastucture including sewerage pump stations, drainage, land for electrical zoned substations and district distributor roads. Timing of this key inftrastructure is dependent on sufficient funds being collected from the Development Contribution Plan. Individual developers will be responsible for servicing their development and may also be  required to provide key infrastructure, which would be subject to reimbursement from the Development Contribution Plan.

All landowners who intend to develop will be required to contribute payments in line with the Developer Contribution Plan for their development area. Should landowners fail to make their contribution they will be unable to obtain subdivision clearances or commence construction in accordance with an approved building permit. They will need to make sure they can meet this obligation prior to submitting a subdivision application OR prior to the issue of a Building Licence/as condition of development, whichever is earlier.

The payment will be in line with the Development Contribution Plan for your development area.

Where subdivision is involved, payment is due prior to the issue of subdivision clearances. Where development is to occur without subdivision, payment is due prior to issue of a Building Permit as a condition of development, whichever is earlier.

The Master Plan allows for temporary approvals. Temporary development can be undertaken prior to structure plan approval, in accordance with the Latitude 32 Development of Land Policy. Refer to the Development of Land Policy at the bottom of the page. Following approval of a structure plan, temporary development will be considered in limited circumstances depending on compliance with the approved levels plan (within the structure plan) and timing from the development front or development by others.

Development is nearing completion within Flinders Precinct. DevelopmentWA is expected to commence sand and limestone extraction within Development Area 3 in late 2019 and work on Development Area 6 in 2020, with further development across the 1400ha taking place subject to demand.

DevelopmentWA owns less than 20% of land in Latitude 32, this includes Flinders Precinct, the first development within Latitude 32 and land within Development Area 2 (former Wattleup townsite) and also the former Cockburn Cement quarry. The private sector will develop the bulk of Latitude 32.

Main Roads WA has indicated 2031 for Rowley Road and the upgrade of Anketell Road and are working on a plan and timing for the Fremantle Rockingham Controlled Access Highway (FRCAH).
