Perth Tribunal Rejects Large-Scale Housing Structure Plan
What happened
The State Administrative Tribunal rejected the structure plan for a 535-hectare bush site in Perth’s hills, which was proposed by Satterley Group. The Tribunal determined the plan was flawed and could not proceed, even with modifications. This decision upheld a 2020 rejection made by the Western Australian Planning Commission, citing that the plan did not adhere to state bushfire planning policy and posed unacceptable risks to lives.

Why it matters
The rejection impacts large-scale residential development in the Perth region. The Tribunal ruled that the risks associated with a massive population influx in a bushfire-prone area were unacceptable, limiting potential housing supply in the hills.
