'introduce Conservation Zones as a new zoning category for Town Planning Schemes to recognise bushland as a legitimate land use and provide the necessary protection'. (2) and (3) This matter is being addressed in the Western Australian Planning Commission's review of the Model Scheme Text and Planning Schemes Manual. The provisions of the Model Scheme Text are required to be incorporated into all new local government town planning schemes, except where the Minister agrees to variations to the provisions and is an appropriate mechanism for delivering on theis undertaking. A number of existing local government town planning schemes already contain Conservation Zones that generally seek to apply special land use controls to land possessing significant aesthetic, ecological or conservation values (e.g. the Shire of Busselton District Town Planning Scheme No. 20 and the Shire of Albany Town Planning Scheme No. 3).
