Douglas Shire Planning Scheme - Amended March 2008
On 4th March 2008, the Douglas Shire Council adopted the following amendments, both gazetted on 14th March 2008:
The Planning Scheme applies to particular land uses, such as residential, tourism, industrial and commercial developments and subdivisions. It identifies where different land uses such as shops, houses, units or industrial activities can occur in the Shire, and what performance criteria and specific outcomes are required to be satisfied.
There are 11 different Policies included in the Planning Scheme. These relate to a variety of subject matters such as building design & architectural elements, water supply & sewerage headworks, landscaping, open space contributions and cultural and heritage values.
