The new development approval process will mean that all planned developments are assessed in a manner consistent with standards applied by Western Australia's local government system, including:
? establishing a dedicated function within the Rottnest Island Authority ;
? reviewing the current Guidelines for Sustainable Development;
? seeking Ministerial approval of the updated Guidelines;
? ensuring that all developments on Rottnest Island are considered within the development planning process; and
? providing opportunity for public comment.
In response to comments received during the draft Rottnest Island Management Plan 2009-14 public comment phase, the development approval process will:
? be in place before developments proceed;
? incorporate current heritage and Indigenous controls to streamline processes; and
? ensure proposed developments are not considered in isolation, and the cumulative impact is taken into consideration.
