Planning Information, Application Forms and Fees

Due to the high volume of development applications lodged at the moment, the City’s Statutory Planners will temporarily be unable to take planning enquiries over the phone from 6 October 2021. This period is critical for the City to meet the timeframes for assessment, advertisement and issuance of planning approvals to meet the timeframes imposed by the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015. During this time, if you are seeking zoning and town planning advice, you will be able to find this information on the City’s website. If you need written planning advice, you can email the City at mail@bayswater.wa.gov.au. We thank you for your patience. The City has prepared information sheets to assist in the preparation of applications and provide clarification on the City's requirements. These documents are for information purposes only, and will be periodically updated as required.
