Queens Park Local Structure Plan - Amendment No. 3

We would like your feedback

The City is updating the Queens Park Local Structure Plan, and we would like to hear from you. All owners and occupiers located in the current plan, or within a 200m radius of the Local Structure Plan area, are being notified of the proposed changes to the existing structure plan.

At Council’s Ordinary Council Meeting (OCM), held on 17 March 2026, Council supported the advertising of Amendment No.3 to the Queens Park Local Structure Plan. In simple terms, the following broad changes are proposed:

  • Simplifying the R-Code for all properties within the structure plan's boundaries, e.g. R60 instead of R30-60. Note: this amendment does not affect the current zoning for properties outside of the structure plan.
  • Increasing the applicable R-Code for all properties zoned in the current Railway Frame and Railway Core precincts to incentivise higher density development near the new Queens Park Train Station.
  • Remove restrictions on building height requirements in the lowest coded areas (R60) to allow for lower building heights on the periphery of the structure plan area, alleviating the cost to construct a second story.
  • Refreshing the vision and objectives for each precinct,
  • Updating subdivision and development provisions, and
  • Improving the layout and readability of the document.

Why is this happening?

The current Structure Plan was approved in 2016 and is due to expire in November 2026. This update ensures the structure plan stays relevant and continues to guide future development in Queens Park, while also responding to current pressures such as population growth and housing demand.
