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 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.
