former Town and Shire of Narrogin has been prepared jointly by the two local governments pursuant to the requirements of Part 3 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations (2015) (the Regulations) under the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2005. It has been prepared in response to the requirement for a new local planning scheme for the Town and the Shire to help guide and control the future development and use of land within their respective municipal districts for the benefit of current and future generations. On 1 July 2016, the former Shire and Town of Narrogin were formally gazetted as one entity under the new Shire of Narrogin. 1.2 ROLE & PURPOSE OF A LOCAL PLANNING STRATEGY A Local Planning Strategy, in accordance with the Regulations, must set out the long-term planning directions for the local government; apply any State or regional planning policy that is relevant to the strategy; and provide the rationale for any zoning or classification of land under the local planning scheme. The former Town of Narrogin’s current Town Planning Scheme No.2 was gazetted in June 1994. The former Shire of Narrogin’s current Town Planning Scheme No.2 was gazetted in October 1997. An examination of both schemes in 2002 identified a number of shortcomings in terms of their scope and effectiveness and recommended the preparation and adoption of a new joint local planning scheme for all land within the Town and Shire’s municipal districts. On the basis of the findings of this examination each local government resolved in 2003 to prepare a new local planning scheme to be named Joint Local Planning Scheme No.3. This Local Planning Strategy provides a strategic basis for the (consolidated) Local Planning Scheme No.3 and should be read in conjunction with that Scheme. The Strategy does not however form part of the Scheme and may therefore be amended in accordance with Part 3
