Minister for Planning

(1) All Scheme Amendments are submitted to me for a final decision under the Planning and Development Act 2005. Having considered the proposed amendment; all public submissions; the recommendation of the Western Australian Planning Commission; and the outcomes of my meetings with interested parties including the City of Swan, I adopted the Scheme Amendment with modifications on October 11th 2011.
(2) I met with the Amendment 40 Action Group on October 5th 2011.
(3) See answer to (1).
(4) I understand there is some community concern in respect to the definition of a commercial vehicle and how it will be applied to the type of vehicles permitted on rural zoned properties. Having met with members of the community and had discussions with the City of Swan, certain modifications to the Amendment have been required which I believe address community concerns while retaining the general intent and purpose of the Amendment.
