It is envisioned that the continued and ongoing partnership
between the City and the landowners of the identified
collated into five themes:
• Safety;
• Local Economy and Growth;
• Community and Lifestyle;
• Environment and Sustainability;
• Governance.
Based on stakeholder feedback and analysis, the revised Master
Plan makes 36 recommendations. The key elements of the
Revised Master Plan addresses the following aspects (refer to
the Master Plan Diagram):
neighbourhood centres would attract these types of uses to the
area. The ‘Local Centre’ zoning is the most generous of the City’s
zones allowing a great variety of land uses; however, the City has
little to no influence in the final land use or business proprietor
which enters the tenancy.

• The Esplanade;
• Upper Promenade;
• Lower Promenade;
• Beach Park;
• Family Beach and Park;
• Commercial and Retail Opportunities;
• West Coast Highway;
• Streetscape Improvements;
• Commercial Node and Extended Surf Club.
The issues facing Scarborough Beach are many of the same
issues facing the local centres. Single ownership and current
demand for tenancies within existing buildings delay the incentive
to redevelop. The Observation City hotel in Scarborough is one
of the largest stakeholders of land at the beach front and as such
has a large influence on how many tenancies are available to let
and the resultant built form.
The realm in which the City does have control is the land reserved
under the Local Planning Scheme No. 3, i.e. the foreshore reserve.
on 2nd August 2011 Council adopted the Revised Scarborouh
Beach Master Plan following the partial implementation of the
2005 Scarborough Beach Master Plan, including the beach
ampitheatre and streetscape enhancements to the Esplanade
and adjacent pedestrian areas. The review of the Master Plan
was undertaken to consider the impacts of climate change, sea
level rise, economic activation, place making and the longer term
cost implications.
The original SEAS objectives were redefined to better reflect the
intended vision for the study area and provide a more meaningful
direction on actions for change. The objectives have been
Further to the continued implementation of the Scarborough
Beach Master Plan and the Local Centres Improvement Program
within the Local Area as ongoing projects, it is proposed that
the City begin to identify the Scarborough beach area and
its surrounds (i.e. the SEAS area) as a district centre. This
classification will then align Scarborough to be consistent with
the State Governments State Planning Policy 4.2 Activity Centres
for Perth and Peel.
To this end, it is recommended that the land zoned ‘Mixed Use’
within the Scarborough beach locality is rezoned to ‘District
Centre” under the provisions of Local Planning Scheme No.
3 and that an appropriate Centre Plan be prepared following
Gazettal of the zone.
To protect the amount of tourist accommodation and
activities within Scarborough
Many of the community workshop participants expressed concern
at the diminishing and bad quality of the tourist accommodation
within the Local Area, particularly for those within close proximity
