Town Planning
Currently Town Planning Scheme No.7 is in force at the Shire.
The objects of the scheme in general are to control and regulate the use of land in order to improve the welfare of the residents and visitors to towns in 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 introduced new Residential Design Codes (R-Codes), for guidance on the type of structures permissable on land.
