Town planning is designed to co-ordinate the growth and development of the town. Planning consent is required for most building and development within the Shire and must be obtained prior to the commencement of any work. Planning decisions are based upon Council's Town Planning Scheme No. 4, which designates approved land uses.

Please contact the Shire for further information and advice on Town Planning.  A link to the Shire's town planning scheme showing the zoning of various areas is provided on the home page.
