In an attempt to make it easier for you to write your submission we have listed some of the various grounds for objection. Please click here to view them. For a more comprehensive and detailed  document listing the relevant grounds for objection and comments, click here to download.

It is recommended that you take these points and put them into your own words. Do not feel restricted to this list. Please feel free to add your own comments and objections. It is by no means a conclusive list and focuses mainly on the planning reasons for objection rather than on personal reasons.

Write a letter to the Minister for Planning and the Arts

No matter where you live in Western Australia, it is important to have areas that are sustainably developed. It is also important that best practices for planning development are followed. We encourage Western Australians to write a letter to the Minister for Planning and the Arts (John Day) outlining the reasons for why you feel this development should not go ahead.
