I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) If a local
planning strategy is modified, it would be appropriate for the corresponding
scheme to also be modified by the local government. The Minister for Planning
will give consideration to granting final approval to the local planning scheme
only once the local planning strategy has been finalised and endorsed by the
Western Australian Planning Commission.
