FAQ

The Development Assessment Panel (DAP) is a decision-making body that is independent of the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage or the Western Australian Planning Commission. DAPs were established under the Planning and Development (Development Assessment Panels) Regulations 2011 and are administered by the DAP secretariat within the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.

The Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel is responsible for determining the development application.  The Shire has a key role in assessing and providing a recommendation on the proposal.

The Shire and the DAP must consider the planning merits of the proposal and the planning issues that have been raised in the submissions received.  The Shire asks that comments be limited to matters directly related to the planning merits or impacts of the proposal. Matters the Shire is not required to have regard to when considering such a proposal include, but are not limited to, perceived loss of property value, private disputes between neighbours, and matters that are controlled under non-Planning related legislation.
