Local Planning Policies
Local planning policies guide development of individual sites within the Town, and clearly explain what Council aims to achieve through development control.
Local planning policies should be used by property owners, developers and the Council to ensure high quality development, consistent decision-making, and fair and prompt application processing.
Local planning policies should be read in conjunction with
Town Planning Scheme No. 1, which provides the basis for development control in the Town.
