Swan Valley Planning Scheme No. 1 – Draft Fencing and Walls Policy
Overview
The Department of Planning Lands and Heritage is seeking comment from affected stakeholders for a proposed draft fencing and walls policy for the Swan Valley.
The policy has been prepared in response to limited guidance and development standards regarding fencing and walls currently listed in the Swan Valley Planning Scheme No. 1 and will be the guiding planning document for fencing within the affected area.
The policy is proposed to provide guidance for:
- Identifying the types of fencing and walls that are suitable within the Swan Valley Planning Scheme Area.
- Establishing development standards for fencing, walls and entry statements in order to protect and enhance the rural character of the Swan Valley.
Key issues for consideration are:
- Does the policy criteria listed in the draft fencing and walls policy adequately contribute towards the desired rural character of the Swan Valley?
- Are there any inconsistencies with the policy criteria listed?
- Are there any amendments to the draft fencing and walls policy that the public would like the department to consider?
