The Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes, in accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, is seeking public comment on the Draft Local Planning Scheme No 6.

The purpose of the Scheme review is to:
- Zone land within the Scheme area for the purposes defined in the Scheme;
- Show land which may be suitable for development through expansion of various settlements, where special scrutiny of proposed land uses and development must occur having regard to the Scheme objectives;
