Treeby is the City of Cockburn’s newest suburb. It is located on the east side of the Kwinana Freeway, close to Cockburn Central.
Treeby is primarily a rural area, originally part of the Banjup locality. In recent years, an area previously mined for sand was developed into a new residential estate called Calleya.
Where planning proposals in this area are still being advertised, you can view them on our Comment on Cockburn opens in a new window webpage.
The Treeby District Structure Plan is a guiding document Council will use to set out expectations to developers within the area which they should use when preparing applications for rezonings and/or structure plans. It also provides the Treeby community (existing and future) with an indication of how the area is intended to develop.
It indicates:
- Broad land-use arrangement, buffers and any relevant targets (e.g. density targets)
- Coordination of major infrastructure (including schools, district water management, district movement networks, regional & district level open space/conservation areas, district recreation facilities)
- Broad funding arrangements for improvements, potentially including the principles of a Development Contribution Plan.
