The Shire of Dardanup Planning Services Division assesses Planning Applications and Proposals against a series of Planning Strategies and Guides which have been endorsed by Council. The below provides more information on each or you can skip to detailed instructions on making a Planning Application.
Local Planning Scheme No 9 - LPS9 (9MB)
Local Planning Scheme No 9 is the key document used to guide land use and development in the Shire of Dardanup.
The Scheme Text specifies what type of land uses are permissible in which ‘zones’, and the development standards that apply. Zones can be found on the Scheme Maps.
The Scheme maps can also be viewed on the Shire’s online mapping tool. You will need to choose the ‘Planning & Development’ module from the left-hand panel to view the scheme maps.
Our expert Planners will consider the Local Planning Scheme text and maps along with State Planning Policies, Local Planning Policies, and supporting strategies in assessing planning proposals.

Residential development is also controlled by the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes). The R-Codes provide requirements or guidelines on things like minimum lot sizes, setbacks, site coverage, open space and car parking – depending on the density code allocated to the lot (eg R20, R30 etc)
