State steps in to stop City of South Perth setting tower height limits

The City of South Perth is the latest suburban council strongarmed by the WA Planning Commission, which has moved to block it from reintroducing building height limits on the South Perth Peninsula.

The WAPC has intervened in planning processes for the cities of Nedlands and Subiaco to force higher density.

He did not respond to a question about who contacted the state requesting an intervention.

But the City of South Perth might not just roll over.

"The City will be seeking a reasonable extension to this date given the time of year and practicality of working through the matters and the adopted position of Council," said Mayor Sue Doherty.

"The Council is progressing the South Perth Activity Centre Plan as expeditiously as possible and in light of this, further workshops will continue early in 2019. It is anticipated that the draft South Perth Activity Centre Plan and associated scheme amendment will be resubmitted to Council for their consideration early in the new year.

"The Council is committed to ensuring best practice strategic planning processes and outcomes for the City, Council, community and stakeholders that is in line with WAPC planning guidelines."
