Initiation of Scheme Amendment No. 15 - Amending the reserve classification for various lots in Canning Vale from 'Public Open Space' to 'Environmental Conservation'

Help shape the future of the City of Canning

Notice is hereby given that the local government of the City of Canning is proposing to amend the reserve classification for the following lots in Canning Vale from 'Public Open Space' to 'Environmental Conservation':

• Portions of Lot 500 (No. 81) Ranford Road, Canning Vale;
• Lot 77 (1L) Livingstone Drive, Canning Vale;
• Portion of the road reserve (between Lot 77 (1L) Livingstone Drive and Lot 26 Livingstone Drive, Canning Vale);
• Portion of the road reserve (between portions of Lot 500 (No. 81) Ranford Road, Canning Vale); and
