Notice is hereby given of the intention of the Shire of Toodyay to levy differential rates for each rating category for the 2025/26 financial year.

On 24 April 2025 the Shire of Toodyay Council resolved, under absolute majority, pursuant to the provisions of section 3.12(3) of the Local Government Act 1995 and Section 62 of the Bush Fires Act 1954 its intent to adopt as tabled, the Shire of Toodyay Bush Fire Brigades Local Law 2025

The Shire of Toodyay is inviting public feedback on the proposed update to Local Planning Policy No.7 (LPP7), previously titled "Extractive Industries – Road Contributions." The revised policy, now named "Mining & Resource Extraction," aims to streamline the approval process, improve regulatory efficiency, and ensure a sustainable approach to managing mining activities within the Shire. This update reflects changes in best practices, legal considerations, and industry feedback while ensuring alignment with Council objectives and state legislation. Key modifications include the removal of road maintenance fees in favor of a differential rating system, a shift toward a single approval framework, and clearer compliance mechanisms. The policy is open for public comment for a minimum of 21 days. Stakeholders, including residents, industry representatives, and community groups, are encouraged to review the proposed changes and provide their input before the policy is finalised.

The Shire of Toodyay is seeking public feedback on a proposed amendment to Local Planning Scheme No.5. The amendment aims to reclassify a portion of Lot 9508 (Burt Parkway, Nunile) from Public Open Space to Residential to support future housing needs while also formalising Jarratt Pass as a road reserve.
