Background
In 2018 the State Government released the Perth and Peel @ 3.5 Million strategy and the associated South Metropolitan Peel Sub-regional Planning Framework ('Planning Framework').
The Planning Framework designated Karnup as 'Urban Expansion Area' to serve as a key urban growth corridor for the sub-region and requires the City to prepare a District Structure Plan, for the approval of the State Government, in advance of rezoning and subdivision within the area.
A District Structure Plan is a high level strategic plan which will help guide where future land uses like housing, shops and open space are located. The process of preparing the District Structure Plan is quite long and is expected to take up to three years.

Get involved
Following advice from the Western Australian Planning Commission and Council’s support at its Ordinary Council meeting held on 28 May 2024, the Karnup District Structure Plan (KDSP) project is now in the stakeholder engagement phase.
In early August we held a series of engagement workshops with members of the community. Outcomes from these sessions will be used to guide the locations for future housing, shops, schools, and open spaces. We thank everyone who came along to a workshop and shared their insights and ideas to influence the future development of Karnup.
