WA Draft Local Government Design Review Panel Manual Submission

The Property Council reaffirms its support for high quality development throughout WA and continues to advocate for greater consistency and standardisation in WA’s planning system.

Our feedback is intended to support Design Review Panels (DRPs) to achieve their intended function: that is, to enhance the design of developments in line with the State Planning Policy 7.0 (SPP7.0), without unduly adding to already protracted approvals timeframes.

Retirement Villages Regulations – Rules of Conduct and Budget Obligations Submission

The Property Council is broadly supportive of the proposed conduct rules for operators, but notes that several conduct rules are currently too broad. The Property Council requests some clarity regarding these rules.

The Property Council notes that as more obligations and requirements are placed on operators, the cost is fundamentally passed onto the residents. As such, the Property Council recommends limiting the inclusion of unnecessary impositions on operators.
