Cash-in-lieu of Public Open Space

The City of Vincent will use developer funds to improve its parks and green spaces through implementing an existing Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) policy.

The WAPC’s 2002 Development Control Policy 2.3 – Public Open Space in Residential Areas is designed to ensure the community has sufficient access to public open space.

On 15 November 2022, Council resolved to implement this policy from 1 July 2023.

This means any application proposing more than five (5) lots may be required to pay a cash contribution in lieu of providing public open space.
