Policies and guidelines are put into place to guide development of individual sites within the City of Albany and to provide the community with a clear understanding of what the Council aims to achieve on individual development sites.
The policies are prepared for the benefit of property owners, developers and the Council, to ensure a consistent approach is taken and to maintain a high quality of development within the City.
Adoption of a policy involves the following process:
- Draft document prepared
- Draft adopted by Council for public advertising purposes
- Public consultation (advertising for 21 days)
- Submissions considered and final adoption by Council
- Adopted policy advertised
Town Planning Scheme Policies and Guidelines are an essential supplement to the City’s Town Planning Schemes and they are brought into effect by the provisions of the Scheme.
