AMENDMENTS TO THE TOODYAY & TOODYAY WEST TOWNSITE BOUNDARIES The Shire of Toodyay initiated a process to amend its Toodyay and Toodyay West townsite boundary in July 2007. The proposal to amend the boundaries was advertised for public comment between August 2007 and April 2008. In May 2008 Council resolved to request the Minister for Lands to amend the townsite boundaries. The Toodyay townsite boundaries have been approved and the townsite boundary has now been amended. The Toodyay West townsite boundary has not yet been approved. As a result, properties now within the Toodyay townsite boundary will need to have swimming pools fenced in accordance with part 10 of the Building Regulations 1989 and rather than three (3) metre wide firebreaks being installed, fire hazard reduction will have to be implemented in accordance with the Shire of Toodyay Fire Break Order. A map of the amended townsite boundary is available to download from the link. Further information is available by contacting the Shire's Development Services department on 08 9574 2258.
