The PROHIBITED Burning Period for the whole of the Shire of Capel remains and has been extended from 29 April to 5 May 2024 (inclusive).
Permits to burn will NOT be issued during this time.
The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for approving all subdivision and amalgamation applications on land in Western Australia.
The WAPC considers proposals against the State Planning Framework which is identified by the following six principles:
Information and comment from the Shire, any public authority or utility services provider are also included in this assessment prior to a decision being made on the proposed plan.
The early stages of the subdivision of land involve the owner of the land to be subdivided/amalgamated engaging with private consultants, the Shire, state government agencies, utilities providers and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). All proposals by a landowner to subdivide/amalgamate land are first submitted to the WAPC.
Once you have obtained subdivision conditional approval from WAPC, you may need to clear certain conditions with the Shire of Capel before you can undertake subdivision and title the lots. Please contact the Shire of Capel’s Development Services and/or Projects, Engineering & Assets for further guidance on this process.
