STRUCTURE PLAN PROVIDES FOR THE ORDERLY GROWTH OF MARGARET RIVER
On the 25 October 2017 the Western Australian Planning Commission gave final approval to revised East Margaret River District Structure Plan which can be found here
The purpose of the plan is to provide for the co-ordination of more detailed structure planning, subdivision and development across several landholdings which were identified for future development by the Local Planning Strategy in 2010. Upon full development, the Structure Plan area will accommodate an additional 5000 people.
The preparation of the Plan has been predicated upon a new model for urban growth as articulated by the Hamlet Design Guidelines.
The overarching intent of this sustainable growth model is to achieve a form of residential development which differs from greenfield development experienced elsewhere in the State.
The Shire looks forward to working with land owners and developers to ensure that the future growth of Margaret River is undertaken in the most sustainable way possible.
