Planning for Localities - Maps & Tables of Assessment   Printer Friendly

The Shire is divided into six Localities. The six Localities are identified on the Key Map. To read more about the six localities or view the Key Map, click on the links below.

The boundaries of each Locality have been determined by a combination of factors including, geographic and topographic features, existing and future preferred land use patterns and areas with a distinct homogeneity.

Each Locality is identified on a suite of Locality Maps providing detailed information on:
- the preferred pattern of development and in some instances,
- the preferred intensity of development and the location of Special Management Areas, in the Locality; and
- the Overlays applicable to the Locality.

To view the mapping and tables of assessment for any of the localities, click on the relevant locality listed below.
