Planning update: Rezoning process

At the upcoming meeting on Thursday, 9th December 2021, City of Cockburn councillors will be asked to consider starting the process to rezone the site of the proposed Glen Iris Estate.

If the rezoning process is initiated it is expected to take around 15 months, including the various steps for public advertising and referral to local and State Government agencies.

Our structure plan for the new Glen Iris Estate concept will be formally released for comment at the same time as the rezoning proposal.

Representing 18 months of careful planning and design, the vision is for a high-quality boutique residential neighbourhood of 550 to 600 new homes, where the existing natural landscape lives on, providing shade, shelter, and enjoyment for many more years to come.

The City of Cockburn will invite members of the local community to provide their comments on the plan direct to the council. This public advertising period would be open for 60 days.

A crucial component of our vision is taking down the old golf course chain mesh fences and creating a connected green neighbourhood with cycle paths, parks and playgrounds, exercise trails and gathering spaces that the entire Jandakot community can enjoy.

Our discussions and conversations with many members of the local community over the past year and a half have helped shape and inform the plan.

Key community-led ideas are reflected in the plan including interface buffers to existing homes, retention of mature trees, improved traffic solutions, large lots, quality homes, access to new and better parks, and additional local shops and cafes.
