Planning
A Planning Scheme is a document which sets out the controls and use of land that apply to land across the Shire. Planning Schemes, like many mandatory documents, can be complex and confusing until familiarity is gained through regular use. The scheme is used to ascertain the zoning and criteria for development proposals.

Guideline for use, inspection and maintenance of decks, balconies and windows released
Guideline for use, inspection and maintenance of decks, balconies and windows released
The Department of Housing and Public Works has released a Guideline for the use, inspection and maintenance of decks, balconies and windows and can now be downloaded from their website.
The amendments come after several safety concerns reported including the 2012 Coroner’s Inquiry into the death of a young child caused by a decayed decking board, and other cases of recent deck and balcony collapses throughout Australia.
Various other changes have been made to reflect current National Construction Code requirements.
The Guideline was originally developed to help building owners and occupiers, builders and inspectors to carry out inspections on balustrades, decks and balconies in order to check the integrity and safety of these structures. Owners and managers of non-residential buildings with a deck or balcony, such as restaurants, hotels and clubs, may also find the Guideline relevant. However, industry professionals must note this document does not replace the technical standards used by the industry.
