FAQ

A local planning scheme governs the development of land to support current and future community needs.

From time to time it is necessary to make changes to the local planning scheme in order to bring it in line with strategic objectives, new state government legislation and policies, or the community’s changing needs. These changes are called scheme amendments.

A scheme amendment becomes operative once published in the Government Gazette following approval by the Minister for Planning.
