Town Planning
Local Planning Scheme No.7 is currently in force at the Shire of Dandaragan.
The general objectives of the scheme are to control and regulate the use of land in order to improve the welfare of the residents and visitors to townsites within the Shire, reinforce the existing pattern of land use, to provide for and regulate tourist development and establish criteria and development standards applicable to various land uses.
The Western Australian Planning Commission has now released the Residential Design Codes 2008 (R-Codes), for guidance on the type of structures permissable on 'Residential' zoned land. Please note that any request for a variation to the 'acceptable development' criteria of the R-Codes for a residential building project requires the submission of a Planning Application for consideration by Council.
