DA26/0437 - Third Party Digital Format Sign
Your comments are invited!
The City has received a development application that proposes a use not listed (Third Party Digital Format Sign) at 76 Division Street, Welshpool WA 6106.
Reason for Advertising
Western Australia’s planning legislation sets out statutory consultation requirements for a range of planning matters. This allows people who may be impacted by proposals and the community in general to comment on proposals.
In this instance, the application is being advertised to owners and occupiers in accordance with the City’s Local Planning Policy LP-11 – Public Consultation of Planning Proposals.
Matters for Consideration
The following matters require the City's consideration:
- The proposal includes a Use Not Listed (Third Party Digital Format Signage). In accordance with Clause 64 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (the Regulations), consultation is required to be undertaken by the Local Government to properties within a 200m radius of the subject site.
- In considering an application for development approval, the local government will have regard to matters detailed in the Regulations. In this instance the relevant matters for consideration include, but may not be limited to:
a) The aims and provisions of the City's Local Planning Scheme No.42 (LPS42) - specifically whether the proposed use meets the objectives of the subject ‘General Industry’ zone, as outlined in Table 2 of the City’s LPS42.
b) The compatibility of the development with its setting including the relationship of the development to development on adjoining or on other land in the locality including, but not limited to, the likely effect of the height, bulk, scale, orientation and appearance of the development.
c) The impact on the amenity of the locality.
‘Amenity’ is defined in Schedule 1 of the Regulations as: “all those factors which combine to form the character of an area and include the present and likely future amenity”. Common amenity considerations include, but are not limited to, car parking and traffic generation, noise or odour emissions, and visual aesthetics.

Personal contact details such as names, email addresses and telephone numbers will not be provided to the applicant. Written submissions may be the subject of Freedom of Information requests.
In accordance with Part 8 of Local Planning Policy LP-11 – Public Consultation of Planning Proposals (Policy), if no response is received from a notified owner or occupier, the City will assume there are no comments. A lack of response will not be interpreted as either support or objection.
Guidance on what is a “valid” or “non-valid” planning consideration is provided in the Policy.
What happens following consultation?
Once the consultation period closes, a delegated officer of the City will assess the proposal, taking into account relevant planning considerations and any feedback received from affected landowners and occupiers.
If the City makes a decision on the development application (approval or refusal), we will contact you to explain how your comments were considered.
In some cases, the application may be referred to a Council meeting for determination. If this occurs, you will receive an invitation to attend or view the meeting online.
