Town Planning

The Planning Services team works with the community and stakeholders to ensure planning principles are implemented throughout the Town. The main planning tools used for determining land use are the Pilbara’s Port City Growth Plan and the Town Planning Scheme No. 5, which is undergoing a review.

  • Planning Applications
