- the Shire of Mundaring Local Planning Scheme No. 4 be repealed and a new scheme be prepared in its place; and
- the Shire of Mundaring prepare a new Local Planning Strategy to reflect the current state and local planning framework. This Strategy will replace the existing Local Planning Strategy, which shall be revoked upon endorsement of the new Strategy.
Subsequently at its 21 August 2024 Statutory Planning Committee meeting, the WAPC resolved to agree with the recommendations of the Shire’s Scheme review report.
