Liveable Neighbourhoods has been adopted by the WAPC as operational policy, and is to be followed in the design and approval of urban development. Liveable Neighbourhoods applies to structure planning and subdivision for greenfield sites and for the redevelopment of large brownfield and urban infill sites.

In general, Liveable Neighbourhoods replaces the current WAPC development control policies. Where there is conflict with existing policies, Liveable Neighbourhoods will prevail unless an applicant can demonstrate why the relevant Liveable Neighbourhoods policies cannot or should not apply.

Overlaps between development control policies and Liveable Neighbourhoods will be progressively removed through a mixture of incorporation into Liveable Neighbourhoods and rescission of redundant policies.  Development control policies will of course be retained for those matters not covered by Liveable Neighbourhoods.
