The Shire of Toodyay has entered the PROHIBITED BURNING PERIOD. No burning is allowed for any reason during this period, including open cooking, campfires, or the burning of rubbish and garden refuse. For more information see here.
Granny flats or ancillary dwellings are considered to be a second residence to an already existing primary residence on a property. A granny flat or ancillary dwelling is either attached, integrated with, or stand alone in some way with a primary residence.
A planning approval ensures that the development of a property within the Shire complies with the Local Planning Scheme, Residential Design Codes and other relevant legislation and policies.
A Residential Design Code (R-Code) assessment and approval may be required when a proposed development does not comply with the ‘deemed to comply' criteria specified in the Residential Design Codes (State Planning Policy 3.1), the R-Codes Medium Density standards or a Detailed Area Plan (DAP).
Please refer to the following policy LPP.02-Ancillary-Accommodation.pdf
The requirement for this application will be determined by the Shire when your planning application is assessed and is only applicable for residential structures.
