FAQs

on Rezoning Applications

Considering a zoning change?
These FAQs answer common questions about the rezoning process — helping you understand when it’s needed, what to expect, and how Forge supports a successful outcome.

What is rezoning, and why might I need it?

Rezoning is the process of changing the land use designation under a local planning scheme. You may need it to allow for different development types, increase density, or align with long-term investment goals.

How long does the rezoning process take in Perth?

Rezoning can take 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the amendment, council timeframes, public consultation, and state government approvals.

Can Forge Planning handle all aspects of the rezoning process?

Yes — we manage the full process, from site assessment and justification reports to council engagement, submission management, and responses to public or authority feedback.

What factors influence the success of a rezoning application?

Key factors include strategic alignment with planning frameworks, community and authority support, site context, and the strength of the supporting rationale.

Is rezoning a cost-effective way to increase property value?

Often, yes. A successful rezoning can unlock higher land value and development potential — but it requires expert planning, strategy, and a clear risk assessment.

From initial site assessment to final approvals, Forge gave us structure, insight, and the kind of straight-talking advice that’s hard to find in this industry.
