Development Area 6 (DA6) is a significant redevelopment area located in the City of Belmont. It encompasses land bound by Great Eastern Highway, Coolgardie Avenue, Redcliffe Road, Fauntleroy Avenue and Tonkin Highway, as well as Perth Airport’s Airport West Precinct. This area can be easily distinguished into two main areas:

• Perth Airport’s Airport West Precinct
• A portion of the Redcliffe neighbourhood between Perth Airport and Great Eastern Highway.

Perth Airport’s Airport West Precinct

Perth Airport Pty Ltd is responsible for planning work for its Airport West Precinct through the preparation and review of the Perth Airport Masterplan.

In December 2022, the Western Australian Planning Commission wrote to advise landowners about the initiation of Improvement Plan 45 – Redcliffe Station Precinct.

The Improvement Plan itself does not change the development potential of land at this point in time. Initiating the Improvement Plan is the first step of the planning pathway to establish the appropriate development potential and planning standards for future development in the precinct. The Improvement Plan sets out the broad objectives for the redevelopment of the area, after which an Improvement Scheme is prepared. The Improvement Scheme will set out the specific standards for future development.

The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage has been tasked to prepare the Improvement Scheme and has advised that the City will continue to play an important role in the development and delivery of this planning framework for the precinct.

The Improvement Scheme has now been drafted and the Department of Planning Lands and Heritage is seeking feedback. Further information can be found on the Department's community consultation platform, Have Your Say, WA. The public comment period for this project is from Monday 17 Novemeber 2025 to Wednesday 4 March 2026.
