It’s crunch time.

The Shire of Kalamunda recently approved and passed their Draft Local Planning Strategy that sets out to urbanise Wattle Grove East. This was despite an overwhelming majority of Wattle Grove residents (85%) expressing they wanted the area to remain rural.

No matter where you live in Western Australia, it is important that areas are sustainably developed. It is also important that best practices for planning development are followed. For these reason, we encourage you to write to the Western Australian Planning Commission and Planning Minister John Day opposing the urbanisation of Wattle Grove.

You have 2 options in relation to writing your submission opposing the urbanisation of rural Wattle Grove.
