(a - b) The ALP committed to review a number of settlement levels specified in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge Statement of Planning Policy (SPP). I am satisfied that the SPP is largely a sound planning policy prepared with wide public input, but that in some instances the scale of nodal development proposed was either uncertain or too great.
(c) Smiths Beach, in the Shire of Busselton. Work is being undertaken to look at growth proposed in Gracetown and Gnarabup, although the concerns in these areas do not necessarily arise out of the SPP.
