Proposal to Create a New Suburb from a Portion of the Forrestdale Locality


The City of Armadale is proposing to rename the south-eastern portion of the Forrestdale locality in the area bounded by Tonkin Highway, Rowley, Oxley and unnamed Roads and Regional Reserves.

This proposal will prepare for the future development of an industrial area and establish an identity, separate to the existing Rural and Industrial areas of Forrestdale. It is proposed to rename the new locality one of the following names:

“Doobarda” - is an aboriginal name for the Banksia Flower, which is commonly found in the Armadale area.

“Salmeri” - Steve Salmeri was extensively involved in the promotion of Forrestdale and the Forrestdale Lake. Mr Salmeri was one of the main organisers of the Progress Association and local sports clubs for many years.

Both the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) and Town Planning Scheme No.4 (TPS 4) amendments are in progress to rezone portions of this area from “Rural” to “Industrial” under the MRS and “Industrial Development” under TPS 4. One lot within the proposed area is currently reserved Parks and Recreation Regional in the Metropolitan Regional Scheme and will remain as such.

Comments are invited by completing the online submission form or forwarded to the Chief Executive Officer, City of Armadale, Locked Bag No 2, Armadale 6992 by the close of business on: Tuesday 31st January 2023.
