DA26/0159 - Proposed Change of Use to Medical Centre - 12 Robbins Place, Shelley
Your comments are invited!
The proposal:
The City has received a development application that proposes a change of use to Medical Centre. The application is prepared subject to a Scheme Amendment to the City of Canning Local Planning Scheme No.42 which was gazetted on 13 March 2026. This Scheme Amendment allowed for an additional use of 'Medical Centre' at 12 Robbins Place, Shelley, subject to a maximum number of health practitioners being limited to three (3) on site at any one time. This application proposes no more than three health practitioners onsite at any one time.
The subject site is currently operating as 'Consulting Rooms' with no more than two (2) health practitioners on site at any one time. This application is only seeking approval to add one more health practitioner on site. No internal or external works are proposed to the building on site and no changes to the car parking is proposed.
Reason for Advertising
Western Australia’s planning legislation sets out statutory consultation requirements for a range of planning matters. This allows people who may be impacted by proposals and the community in general to comment on proposals.
The land use is a discretionary ‘A’ land use under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No. 42 (LPS42), which means the local government must advertise the application in accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 prior to a determination being made.
In this instance, the application is being advertised to owners and occupiers in accordance with the City’s Local Planning Policy LP-11 – Public Consultation of Planning Proposals (LP.11) .

How to Submit Your Comments
Please send your written feedback to the City by 05:00pm on 29 May 2026 using the form below to submit your comments. You may also attach supporting documents such as plans, diagrams, or photographs.
Personal contact details such as names, email addresses and telephone numbers will not be provided to the applicant. Written submissions may be the subject of Freedom of Information requests.
In accordance with LP.11, if no response is received from a notified owner or occupier, the City will assume there are no comments. A lack of response will not be interpreted as either support or objection.
Guidance on what is a “valid” or “non-valid” planning consideration is provided in LP.11.
What happens following consultation?
Once the consultation period closes, a delegated officer of the City will assess the proposal, taking into account relevant planning considerations and any feedback received from affected landowners and occupiers.
If the City makes a decision on the development application (approval or refusal), we will contact you to explain how your comments were considered.
In some cases, the application may be referred to a Council meeting for determination. If this occurs, you will receive an invitation to attend or view the meeting online.
