Local Planning Scheme Amendment and Structure Plan

On display until 03 December 2024, 12:01 AM

Notice is hereby given that the local government of the Shire of Broome has prepared the following documents for public advertising:

  • Cable Beach Precinct Structure Plan
  • Chinatown-Old Broome Precinct Structure Plan
  • Shire of Broome Local Planning Scheme No. 7, Scheme Amendment No. 1

The Cable Beach and Chinatown-Old Broome Precinct Structure Plans are new documents that will be used to guide land use planning, subdivision and development in Cable Beach and Chinatown/Old Broome, respectively, over the next 10 years.

Scheme Amendment No. 1 to the Shire of Broome Local Planning Scheme No. 7 provides the changes to the Shire’s Local Planning Scheme No. 7 that will enable the Precinct Structure Plans to be implemented.

The preparation of the Precinct Structure Plans has been developed following extensive consultation with community and stakeholder groups in late 2022 and early 2023. This included community workshops, online surveys, interactive mapping exercises and meetings. The Shire would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the process. The feedback and ideas you have shared have been fundamental to the development of the Precinct Structure Plans.

MAKING A SUBMISSION

You can make a written submission on the scheme amendment and/or precinct structure plans in the following ways:

  • downloading a form in the ‘Submission Forms’ section above and return via email to shire@broome.wa.gov.au or PO Box 44, Broome 6725; or
  • Writing an email or letter and returning to shire@broome.wa.gov.au or PO Box 44, Broome 6725.

Consulting with the community on a scheme amendment (changes) to local planning scheme follows a different legislative process to consulting the community on the draft precinct structure plan, and feedback on each will be considered separately. Please ensure you clearly indicate which document you are providing feedback on, the name and address of the person making the submission, the property affected and details of the submission. 

Submissions must be made on or before 2 December 2024.
