Planning Controls
- •WA Planning Commission Guidance Statement 3.6 on land use compatibility in flood-prone areas
- •Local Shire of Canning flood risk assessment requirements for development applications
- •Consideration of 100-year ARI (1% AEP) flood mapping if available through local authority
- •Mandatory inspection and consultation with Department of Water and Environmental Regulation for sensitive land uses

The broader Armadale-Kelmscott precinct is undergoing urban renewal with activity centre upgrades and medium-density residential intensification as part of Perth's southern suburbs growth strategy.
