Scheme Amendment No. 24 to Local Planning Scheme No. 15
We’re seeking feedback on Scheme Amendment No. 24, which proposes changes to zoning and land use controls for land within the Ascot Racecourse Precinct. The amendment applies to the same area as the draft Ascot Racecourse Precinct Structure Plan.
Amendment No. 24 is open for public comment until 20 July.
Amendment No. 24 overview
The State’s Planning Commission is currently considering that draft Ascot Racecourse Precinct Structure Plan. Before they can make a determination on the document, a Local Planning Scheme Amendment is required to update zones, density codes and land use permissibility under Local Planning Scheme No. 15. Perth Racing has prepared an associated Amendment accordingly.
Council considered Amendment No. 24 (the Amendment) at the 25 November 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting and resolved to initiate it for the purpose of advertising, with the resolution consistent with its resolution on the draft Precinct Structure Plan.
Prior to advertising the Amendment, consent from the State Planning Commission is required. They have since requested modifications to the Amendment, meaning the version being advertised is not consistent with that originally endorsed by Council.
For full details of Amendment No. 24, please refer to the Amendment Report.

Structure Plan overview
In 2024, we received a draft Precinct Structure Plan from Perth Racing to guide the future use and development of their land in and around Ascot Racecourse. This plan will guide future use and development of approximately 61.3ha of land bound by the Swan River, Ascot Waters Estate, Grandstand Road, Resolution Drive, Hardey Road, and Carbine Street, in Ascot.
We invited the community to submit feedback on the draft Ascot Racecourse Precinct Structure Plan in 2024. Following this period of consultation, Council at its April 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting resolved to recommend that the draft Ascot Racecourse Precinct Structure Plan be approved by the State's Planning Commission, subject to modifications. The Precinct Structure Plan is currently being considered by the State.
