FOR SALE: 20 COLE ROAD, SAWYERS VALLEY, 16 JUNE, 2021
Pursuant to section 126(3) of the Planning and Development Act 2005,
the Shire of Mundaring requested that the WAPC amend its Local Planning Scheme No. 4 (LPS 4) for the urban zoned land included in the proposal to be concurrently amended to the Development zone.
This was agreed to by the WAPC in 2020 and
- Lot 2 Great Eastern Highway
- Lot 2083 & Part Lot 2348 Cole Road
- Lots 10 & 108 Pearce Street, Sawyers Valley
Lot 2083 (9acres) Cole Road, Part Lot 2348 (10 acres) Cole Road and Lot 108 (6 acres) Pearce Street comprise 25 acres.
It appears that these three lots have now been advertised For Sale as 20 Cole Road, Sawyers Valley.

See Residential Zoning Codes
If you are considering preparing any submission, please read this.
A submission is a way to express your opinion and provide information. It is an opportunity to explain why the amendment should be supported, withdrawn or modified. Suggestions of alternative courses of action are also welcomed.
Making a submission is not the same as voting in an election. The number of submissions received for or against a proposal will not in itself determine the result. Rather, it is the reasoned argument of why a particular thing should or should not be done. Your submission will assist the WAPC in reviewing its planning proposal before proceeding. Advertised proposals are often modified in response to the public submission process.
Your comments should focus on the particular issues that arise from the proposed amendment. If there are a number of components in the amendment, please indicate exactly which ones you are addressing.
It is important that you state your point of view clearly and give reasons for your conclusions and recommendations. These may include an alternative approach or other ways for the WAPC to improve the amendment or make it more acceptable. Indicate the source of your information or argument where applicable.
If you prefer not to write your own comments, you may consider joining a group interested in making a submission on similar issues, i.e. Sawyers Valley Residents & Ratepayers Association. Joint submissions can increase the pool of ideas and information.
SUBMISSIONS HAD TO BE PRESENTED TO THE M.R.S. BEFORE 17.00 13 DECEMBER 2019.
