Town Planning
Local Planning Scheme No.7 is currently in force within the Shire of Dandaragan. The Scheme consisting of the Scheme Text and Scheme Maps is a statutory document which sets out objectives, development standards and provisions for the use, development and protection of land within the Shire.

The Scheme is aligned and should be read in conjunction with the Shire's local planning strategies adopted by the Western Australian Planning Commission (linked below), which outlines the long-term planning direction for the Shire.
