(3) Environmental reports relating to these land parcels were not prepared at the time of subdivision approval. (4) The conditional subdivision approval issued by the Western Australian Planning Commission required that purchasers to be made aware of the provisions of the Shire of Capel town planning scheme and the Department of Environmental Protection Swan Coastal Lakes Policy which relates to the use and management of land, and of the requirement for alternative on-site effluent disposal systems. These environmental statements are clearly outlined, as is the need to obtain vegetation clearing permits from the Department of Environment and Conservation, prior to clearing any part of these lots, as is usual procedure for all rural land.
