Kwinana/Cockburn intermodal facility<br />
A new intermodal freight terminal is proposed for the Kwinana/Cockburn<br />
area and the <strong>Department</strong>, in conjunction with the Western Australian<br />
Planning Commission, has undertaken two studies as part <strong>of</strong> an overall<br />
requirement to plan and reserve land for this facility.<br />
It is envisaged that the new intermodal terminal will form part <strong>of</strong> a ‘freight<br />
village’ comprising the core terminal infrastructure, terminal support areas<br />
and an industry park/cluster development.<br />
A report detailing options for the preferred location <strong>of</strong> the new intermodal<br />
freight terminal was released for public comment by the Minister for<br />
Planning in November <strong>2008</strong>. The <strong>Department</strong> reviewed the submissions<br />
received, and then undertook further consultation with industry, government<br />
and community representatives in June <strong>2009</strong>. Following consideration <strong>of</strong> the<br />
outcomes <strong>of</strong> this further consultation, a preferred location will be identified.<br />
It is intended that the preferred terminal site will ultimately be included as<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the structure plan for Latitude 32.<br />

Industrial land strategy<br />
An Industrial Land Strategy will be completed in July <strong>2009</strong>. It represents<br />
the culmination <strong>of</strong> a comprehensive investigation <strong>of</strong> past and future trends<br />
in the demand and supply <strong>of</strong> industrial land in the Perth Metropolitan and<br />
Peel regions and identifies potential land to meet the forecast demand. The<br />
overall aims <strong>of</strong> the strategy are to ensure that there will be an adequate<br />
supply <strong>of</strong> industrial land to meet future demand in the Perth and Peel<br />
regions, and that there is ongoing strategic planning for industrial land as<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the wider planning framework for those regions.<br />
The strategy has been developed jointly by the <strong>Department</strong> for Planning and<br />
Infrastructure, the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> State Development and LandCorp.<br />
