FEE PROPOSAL - LOCAL TOURISM PLANNING STRATEGY<br />

We refer to our various discussions through the consideration <strong>of</strong> Town Planning Scheme No 3 in<br />

relation to the need and importance for the preparation <strong>of</strong> a Local Tourism Planning Strategy. We<br />

are pleased to provide the following advice and fee proposal for the preparation <strong>of</strong> a Local Tourism<br />

Planning Strategy.<br />

BACKGROUND<br />

We have undertaken preliminary consultation with Tourism WA and the WA Planning Commission<br />

in relation to the brief for the preparation <strong>of</strong> a Local Tourism Planning Strategy, in particular<br />

Tourism WA has provided a draft guideline document to assist Local Authorities in the preparation<br />

<strong>of</strong> a Local Tourism Planning Strategy. We have been advised that these guidelines will form the<br />

basis for the preparation <strong>of</strong> a Planning Bulletin by the WA Planning Commission.<br />

The Western Australian Planning Commission has only recently finalised the Planning Bulletin<br />

associated with the Tourism Taskforce report. The Planning Bulletin will be released shortly to the<br />

public and it will be necessary to review the proposal based on the Planning Bulletin.<br />

Whilst at a preliminary stage we have used the guidelines as the basis for determining the scope <strong>of</strong><br />

works for the preparation <strong>of</strong> the Local Tourism Planning Strategy. In the event that the Planning<br />

Bulletin varies the requirements there may the need to reassess the tasks and fees at that time.<br />

LOCAL TOURISM PLANNING STRATEGY<br />

There are a number <strong>of</strong> planning matters which require direction through a Local Tourism Planning<br />

Strategy, at a macro level this includes the importance <strong>of</strong> tourism to the economy and financial<br />

consideration and at a micro level assessment <strong>of</strong> sites <strong>of</strong> strategic and non-strategic significance and<br />

the planning framework for decision making. These issues are summarised as follows -<br />

• Tourist accommodation on pastoral leases and land under the ownership <strong>of</strong> the former<br />

Conservation and Land Management<br />

• Potters Block Tourist/Residential Precinct<br />

• Review <strong>of</strong> Nanga Station and provisions<br />

• Rationalisation <strong>of</strong> Special Use site No 3 back to residential<br />

• Audit <strong>of</strong> existing tourist development a demand and strategic direction for future tourist<br />

accommodation<br />

• Consistency <strong>of</strong> provisions for Tourist Uses within Town Planning Scheme No 3
