Development Exempt from Approval Under Local Planning Scheme No. 4

Planning & Development Regulations 2015 - Exemptions

In addition to the City's Local Planning Policy 1.7, certain types of development are exempt from requiring development (planning) approval under State Government regulation. Please refer to the following extract from the Planning & Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 for a list of the exempted works and uses which come into effect on Monday 15 February 2021:

• Clause 61 Exemptions - Deemed Provisions - Planning & Development Regulations 2015

Special State Government Exemptions During State of Emergency

In response to the State of Emergency due to COVID-19, the State Government has issued a Notice of Exemption covering a range of temporary exemptions for certain approvals and requirements under Local Planning Scheme No. 4.  The exemptions are designed to provide flexible responses to a changing crisis environment, support businesses, as well as guarantee the provision of essential community services during this times. These exemptions are temporary and will only remain in effect until 90 days after the end of the State of Emergency. You may need planning approval to continue an exempted land use after this period is over. 

The Notice of Exemption provides detail of each exemption, including a requirement to notify the City in writing should you wish to undertake one of the exempted uses.  Please note the City of Fremantle contains a large number of heritage protected places, which includes heritage areas, for which many of the exemptions do not apply. You can contact the City’s Duty Planner on 1300 MY FREO or  planning@fremantle.wa.gov.au if you need to confirm the heritage status of your property, or to confirm whether you will need to apply for planning approval.
