Property owners and residents no longer need to obtain a permit issued by their local volunteer Fire Control Officer if they wish to light a fire Whilst there are no formal restrictions on lighting fires, property owners and residents are urged to still be cautious and responsible when doing so. Permits will be for a specific time and location and may include conditions that the land owner is required to comply with prior to lighting the fire.

The LPS is intended to provide broad direction for the future growth and development of the district for 10 - 15 years. The draft Local Planning Strategy is currently a preliminary draft and will be modified following comments from the community and other stakeholders in 2018 and based on Western Australian Planning Commission requirements. It is highlighted that investment or associated decisions should not rely on the draft Strategy given the final endorsed Strategy will be different to the preliminary draft version.
