Review of Shire of Local Planning Strategy & Local Planning Scheme No. 7

The Shire has undertaken a review of its Local Planning Strategy and Local Planning Scheme No. 7.  The findings and recommendations are contained within a report of review (link below).  In summary, the current Strategy and Scheme have reached their end of life and a new Strategy and Scheme should be prepared and adopted.

The Western Australian Planning Commission has advised that it agrees with the findings and recommendations of the report (link below).

The Shire will now begin developing a new Local Planning Strategy and Local Planning Scheme, which will guide and regulate land use and development over the next 15 year period. Opportunities for public consultation and input will be made available in the coming months.

The report of review and the Commission’s decision are also available at the Shire’s administration building for inspection.  Enquiries can be directed to Craig Zanotti, Coordinator Regulatory & Development Services by the following means:
