What building in Aveley actually involves
Aveley adjoins Ellenbrook on Perth's north-eastern edge and is being developed under endorsed structure plans. There is a detail here worth understanding before anything else: the scheme map shows Rural residential across Aveley, while the land is actually being developed to conventional residential densities under those plans.
The scheme map and the structure plan say different things
That is not a contradiction or an error. In Western Australia, land in a development or rural zone is commonly brought forward under an endorsed structure plan, and where a plan applies it sets the density, the lot layout and the staging — not the zone table. So if the scheme map surprises you, the plan is the document to read. Eight endorsed plans cover land in Aveley, with several thousand dwellings planned between them.
No R-Code on the scheme map
For the same reason, there is no Residential Design Code mapped across Aveley. In an established WA suburb the R-Code sets minimum and average lot size; here the structure plan does that job instead. Ask the City of Swan which plan covers the lot and what density it sets, because that is the number a builder needs.
Bushfire applies
Part of Aveley is inside a designated Bush Fire Prone Area. In a suburb still building outward the interface between developed and undeveloped land moves, so two lots that look alike can carry different requirements. A Bushfire Attack Level assessment is made at the site, and the rating drives cladding, glazing and screening.

Questions about building in Aveley
Why does the scheme map say rural residential when Aveley is suburban?
Because the land is being developed under endorsed structure plans rather than through a scheme amendment. Where a structure plan applies it sets the density and layout, and the underlying scheme zoning can lag behind what is actually built.
What R-Code applies to my Aveley lot?
None is mapped on the scheme map. Density here comes from the endorsed structure plan for the area instead. The City of Swan can tell you which plan covers the lot and what it sets.
Is my Aveley lot in a Bush Fire Prone Area?
If the lot is inside the designated Bush Fire Prone Area, yes. Because the suburb is still developing, the mapped area can differ between lots that look similar — confirm at the address.
Who endorses the structure plans?
The Western Australian Planning Commission endorses them, and the City of Swan administers development under them. Both can be relevant depending on what you are doing.
Is Aveley part of Ellenbrook?
They adjoin and are commonly spoken of together, but they are separate suburbs with their own structure plans and their own mapping. What applies in one does not automatically apply in the other.
