Enable the development of outbuildings and water tanks that are consistent with adopted development standards.
Provide clear direction for the assessment of proposed variations from adopted development standards.
Community feedback is invited on the draft policy. Comments can be made in writing by:
Sending a letter to PO Box 183, Denmark WA 6333 (please allow for post prior to close of the public comment period)
