The community is invited to review and provide feedback on Draft Local Planning Scheme No. 22 (Draft LPS22).

The Draft LPS22 supports the City’s ongoing commitment to plan for sustainable growth and development, while retaining and enhancing our unique character, identity, and lifestyle.

What's changing?

  • The Scheme has been updated to align with State planning requirements
  • Some zone names and land use definitions have changed
  • Zoning has been updated in some locations
  • The rules around what can be developed and where have been reviewed and updated

Important note on the changes: Some parts of the Draft LPS22 are required under the State planning framework. Other elements have been developed specifically for the City of Busselton.

Review the Draft LPS22 and have your say from Monday 26 October 2026 until 11.59pm Sunday 31 January 2027.

A full copy of Draft LPS22 can be viewed here. A hard copy is also available for inspection at the City Administration Building, Busselton Library and Dunsborough Library between the hours 8:30am and 4:30pm.

To see how the Draft LPS22 may affect your property the City has developed an online mapping tool, which can be accessed here.
