The Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) establishes a statutory land
use framework to guide development in the Perth metropolitan area.
The MRS provides a mechanism for the reservation and acquisition
of land for regional purposes such as parks and recreation, the
regional road system, and major public uses; and gives the Western
Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) the option to determine
planning and development proposals that are considered to be of
state and regional significance. The Peninsula is currently classified
under the MRS as:
City of
Bayswater

Burswood Peninsula

• Private Recreation; and
A significant portion of the Peninsula is impacted by the Casino
(Burswood Island) Agreement Act 1985 (the Agreement Act). In
areas covered by the Agreement Act the provisions of the MRS do
not apply, and the Minister for Racing and Gaming is responsible for
approving planning and development applications.

The Central Metropolitan Perth Sub-regional Strategy has been

• Belmont Park and Burswood railway stations are identified as
the location for future major transit-oriented developments

generally serve the main weekly household shopping, service
and community needs of the district. They are predominantly
retail focused but many also include a limited mix of other uses.

• The Crown Perth complex is identified as a significant
metropolitan attractor. Metropolitan attractors are places
that generate economic and tourism activities. Metropolitan
attractors are not recognised in the activity centres hierarchy
due to their limited mix of uses yet they generate significant
transport, infrastructure and other planning requirements. They
typically attract large volumes of visitors, leading to employment
growth and economic activity.

A significant area of the Peninsula falls under the control of the
Casino (Burswood Island) Agreement Act 1985 (the Agreement
Act). The primary purpose of the Agreement Act was to provide
for the assembly of land and construction of the Burswood casino
and entertainment complex, most of which was completed by the
late 1980s. Among other things, the Agreement Act authorises
the Minister for Racing and Gaming to approve planning and
development proposals in areas referred to as the ‘Resort Site’ and
the ‘Site’, which combined cover almost 50 percent of the District
Structure Plan area.

LAND OWNERSHIP
Burswood District Structure Plan
City of Vincent

Ri
Sw
an
Land ownership patterns across the Burswood DSP area vary from
large single holdings in the north and west, to a more fragmented
ownership pattern in the south-east. The large holdings are owned
by the Western Australian Turf Club, Crown Perth, and the State
Government, a tenure arrangement that is more conducive to major
redevelopment due to the certainty of single ownership.
r
City of Bayswater
GRAHAM
The smaller holdings, conversely, have a much broader mix of
State Government, local government, commercial organisation,
and individual private ownership, which makes the task of
comprehensive and integrated redevelopment more complex.
This complexity often requires the adoption of detailed provisions
under the local town planning scheme to control development and
coordinate infrastructure provision. Alternatively, in some cases it
may require State Government intervention under the Planning and
Development Act 2005 or Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority
Act 2011 with the necessary legislative powers to undertake the
planning and development of a particular area.

The most recent change in elevation has occurred as a result of
The Peninsula development, where clean fill has been imported
to raise the finished ground level to between 9m and 12m AHD. It
is anticipated that similar landfill and recontouring of the existing
topography (although not necessarily to the same levels) will be
required for any new development in the lower lying areas of the
Peninsula.

The southern part of the peninsula is more vertically differentiated,
with the Burswood Station/Springs area forming a plateau, which
terraces relatively sharply to the west following the alignment of
the railway and Victoria Park Drive, dropping to approximately 4m
AHD surrounding the former Burswood Dome site and rising again
to approximately 8m AHD at the entry to the Crown Perth. This
change in levels has made it particularly difficult to develop clear
and comfortable pedestrian linkages between Burswood Station and
Crown Perth, requiring the introduction of a shuttle bus service for
the comfort and safety of its patrons.

The Burswood Peninsula is part of the Swan Coastal Plain and is
characteristically low lying and gently undulating. The topography
of the peninsula has changed and the spatial dimensions have
increased dramatically over the years due to the importation of
various types of fill material.

A geotechnical review undertaken by Coffey Geotechnics in 2006,
indicated that the sub-surface profile is very complex. In brief,
bedrock is anticipated to comprise a sedimentary rock (Kings Park
formation - possibly Mullaloo Sandstone Member, extending into
Osborne Formation - Kardinya Shale member towards the south
east). The “superficial” formations that overlie bedrock in the
higher elevation areas to the south east comprise Bassendean Sand
overlying Guildford Formation alluvium, both of which are relatively
old (greater than 10,000 years). Further to the west, the ground
surface drops and most of the lower area comprises an alluvial
floodplain.
Sw
an
Beneath the imported fill, the dominant soil types are principally
alluvium in the north and north-western section of the Burswood
DSP area, and silt and sand layers of the Guildford formation to the
south and south-east.

Any proposed development within the Burswood DSP area will
require independent geotechnical investigation to confirm the
underlying soil conditions and determine the most suitable form of
stabilisation. Lessons can be drawn from The Peninsula development,
which utilised a combination pre-loading to accelerate settlement
(thereby seeking to mitigate longer term settlement to manageable
levels for both roadworks and services) and deep pile footings to
support taller buildings.

Acid sulphate soil is the common name given to a soil or sediment
that is low lying or seasonally waterlogged, and contains naturally
occurring iron sulphides. When soils are excavated and sulphides
are exposed to air, oxidation takes place and sulphuric acid can be
produced.

This soil condition is common in Western Australian river floodplain
environments, and there are a number of techniques available to
manage the acidification process and mitigate any potential impact.

DSP area:

• Cinders - including the ashes and slag from coal burning in steam
locomotives.

• Domestic solid waste - includes most household material such as
putrescibles, paper, cardboard, rags, plastics (PVC, polythene),
rubber and tin cans.

sandy matrix.

Floodplain, in particular the lower-lying areas in the central and

of the Swan River is limited to the river’s fringe, whereas in winter
months river levels can rise and extend further into the Peninsula.

Eleven ‘Multiple Use Wetlands’ are located within the Burswood
DSP area, the majority of which have been created as ornamental
and drainage lakes associated with the former golf course. The
Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) defines Multiple Use
Wetlands as having few remaining important attributes and
functions, however, it urges that “all reasonable measures are
taken to retain the hydrological functions of multiple use wetlands
(including on-site water infiltration and flood detention) and, where
possible, other wetland functions” (EPA, 1997).

The Swan River borders the Peninsula to the west, north and east.

Seven non-geomorphic wetlands (other wetlands) have also been
identified within the Burswood DSP area, including those constructed
along the western edge of The Peninsula development, and the
western edge of the former golf course.
In the preparation of structure plans for proposed development areas
all reasonable measures should be taken to retain the hydrological
functions of Multiple Use Wetlands and other wetlands, whereas
CCW should be protected from any development or activity that has
the potential to result in degradation of the wetland.
