    Onslow Townsite Planning Coastal Setbacks and Development Levels

    Posted: 27/11/2020 12:00 AM Closed Date: 30/06/2021 08:15 AM

    The urban form of Onslow over many years has significantly modified the extent of the dunal system to the point where it is difficult to define. Accordingly, there is some conjecture as to where the “frontal dune areas of the townsite” as referred to in Sub Clause 7.3.1 actually exists. In June 2003, the Western Australian State Government released Statement of Planning Policy No. 2.6 - The State Coastal Planning Policy (SCPP).

    The SCPP provides guidance for new development, including subdivision and strata subdivision, on the Western Australian coastline. The SCPP outlines the recommended criteria for use in determining the appropriate Physical Processes Setback (PPS). The PPS should provide a low level of risk to the development from coastal erosion over a 100 year planning horizon.
