The WAPC sought public comment on the new Development Control Policy 4.3 – Planning for High-Pressure Gas Pipelines (DC 4.3).
It is intended that DC 4.3 will replace Planning Bulletin 87 – High-Pressure Gas Transmission Pipelines in the Perth Metropolitan Region. The documents include:
- a new Development Control Policy providing guidance for planning near high-pressure gas pipelines across the State at all levels of the planning system
- draft Guidelines to provide explanatory information in support of DC 4.3 to ensure that the policy is interpreted and implemented correctly and consistently
- policy trigger distance mapping available at PlanWA.
Together, these documents will ensure that planning and development proposals address high-pressure gas pipelines appropriately and consistently in consultation with all relevant stakeholders.
Submissions closed 5pm, Tuesday 28 February 2017.
