The main substantive procedural changes in the current text are: creation of a defined \"basic amendment\" category (reg 3) with a shorter minimum advertising period (14 days) and a clearer set of publication/notice requirements for the three amendment tracks (regs 4–6). Amendments recorded in the compilation table (2024) updated definitions and several procedural clauses, but these are administrative/ procedural refinements rather than a material enlargement of the regulatory scope."},"complexity_factors":["9 regulations (regs 1–9) focused on procedure rather than substantive planning controls","5 defined terms in reg 3 (including a multi‑part definition of 'basic amendment')","Multiple cross‑references to the Planning and Development Act 2005 (eg. s43(1)(a), s56A, s38(3), s52(2), s54, s62) and to the Environmental Protection Act (s48A(1)(a)/(b)) — ~6–8 statutory cross‑references","Three parallel procedural tracks with different minimum advertising periods (60 / 42 / 14 days) and differing notice/publication requirements (regs 4–6)","Layered conditional logic and exceptions (eg. the three limbs under 'basic amendment' in reg 3; Commission discretion to apply regs 5 or 6 in reg 4(1))","Repeated discretionary language ('must decide', 'may', 'consider appropriate', 'reasonable endeavours') creating interpretive variability","Notification duties with multiple recipients (local governments, public authorities, affected owners) and different notice content requirements (regs 4(6)–(9), 5(6)–(7))","Submission handling rules with mandatory and permissive components (reg 7(3)(a) mandatory consideration of properly made submissions; 7(3)(b) permissive consideration of others)","Modifications and reporting chain when Minister directs and where EPA assessment is involved — multi‑step reporting and document sharing (reg 8)"],"plain_english_summary":"**What this regulation does (mechanics)\n\n- Sets out how the WA Planning Commission (\"the Commission\") must advertise and run public consultation for \"region planning schemes\" and amendments to them. (A region planning scheme is a high‑level land use plan for a large area.)\n\n- Distinguishes three advertising/consultation tracks with minimum public advertising periods:\n  - Full proposed region planning schemes and non‑minor amendments: at least 60 days (reg 4(2)).\n  - Minor amendments (standard): at least 42 days (reg 5(2)).\n  - Minor amendments that are \"basic\" (administrative/minor corrections): at least 14 days (reg 6(2) and definition in reg 3).\n\n- Requires the Commission to publish an advertisement and the proposed scheme or amendment on the Commission’s website for the whole advertising period (regs 4(4), 5(4), 6(4)).\n\n- Requires newspaper publication of the advertisement during the advertising period (minimum two days for full schemes and amendments; optional for standard minor amendments) and written notices to local governments and, where appropriate, public authorities and affected landowners (reg 4(5)–(6); reg 5(5)–(6)).\n\n- Provides that the public can make submissions electronically or in hard copy during the advertising period and sets out that the Commission must consider all properly made submissions (reg 7).\n\n- Sets out the process when the Minister directs the Commission to consider submissions: the Commission must forward submissions and a report to the Minister, and, where environmental issues are raised and the EPA is involved, must provide those submissions and its views to the EPA (reg 8).\n\n- Requires early notice to local governments at the start of scheme preparation and a notice to local governments when a basic amendment is published in the Gazette (reg 9).\n\n\nWho is affected\n\n- The Western Australian Planning Commission: administrative and procedural duties (advertising, publishing, notifying, considering submissions, reporting to Minister/EPA) (regs 4–9).\n- Local governments: must be given notice and are invited to make submissions; early notice is required when a new regional scheme is proposed (regs 4(6)(a), 5(6)(a), 9).\n- Public authorities and owners of land that the Commission considers likely to be affected: may receive notice and may make submissions (regs 4(6)(b)–(d), 5(6)(b)–(c)).\n- The public (residents, landowners, developers, interest groups): gain rights to inspect proposals online, in specified publications, and to make submissions during defined periods (regs 4–7).\n- The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and the Minister: receive documents and reports in specific circumstances where environmental assessment or ministerial direction applies (reg 8).\n\n\nWhy this matters (practical implications, incentives and trade‑offs)\n\n- Predictability and timeframes: The regulations set minimum consultation periods (60 / 42 / 14 days). Shorter periods for \"basic\" amendments (14 days) reduce notification time for purely administrative fixes but also reduce the window for objections or input (regs 5–6 and reg 3 definition of \"basic amendment\").\n\n- Administrative discretion and flexibility: The Commission has broad discretion over the form and content of advertisements, what additional steps to take to publicise proposals, and whether to apply the minor‑amendment tracks (regs 4(3), 4(9), 5(1), 5(3), 6(3)). That speeds process management but reduces absolute predictability for third parties about which advertising track will be used.\n\n- Who bears costs and effort: The Commission covers publication duties and must maintain online documents; local governments and affected owners must monitor for notices and may need to prepare submissions. Developers and other affected parties bear time and transaction costs to prepare submissions and to respond where zoning/reservation would change (regs 4–7).\n\n- Interaction with environmental assessment: Where amendments are assessed (or referred) under the Environmental Protection Act, the Commission must pass environmental submissions and its responses to the EPA (reg 8(3)–(4)). This creates an additional reporting step and links planning consultation to environmental review.\n\n- Concentrated vs diffuse stakes: Owners whose zoning or reservation would change are singled out for direct notice in some cases (reg 4(6)(c)), concentrating attention on parties with direct financial stakes; the broader public gets website and newspaper notice.\n\n- Compliance and implementation risk: The rules rely on the Commission’s judgement about who is \"likely to be affected\" and whether an amendment is \"basic\". That introduces some legal and administrative uncertainty (regs 3, 4(6), 5(1), 6(1)).\n\n\nHow the regulation alters behavior (who decides, who pays, what changes)\n\n- The Commission decides the advertising track, the content and placement of advertisements, and whether to take extra steps to publicise proposals (regs 4(3), 5(3), 6(3), 4(9), 5(8), 6(5)).\n- Affected owners and local governments must monitor notices and decide whether to prepare submissions; doing so requires time and potentially professional input (regs 4(6), 5(6), 7).\n- Where the Minister directs further consideration, the Commission must prepare reports and any recommended modifications for the Minister’s consideration (reg 8).\n\n\nReference points in the regulations: key clauses mentioned above are regs 3 (definitions), 4 (full schemes and non‑minor amendments), 5 (standard minor amendments), 6 (basic minor amendments), 7 (public submissions), 8 (modifications and reporting), and 9 (local government notices). The compilation notes record an amendment in 2024 that updated several regulations; the substance above reflects the current text."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/planning-and-development-region-planning-schemes-regulations-2023","history":"/api/acts/planning-and-development-region-planning-schemes-regulations-2023/history","analysis":"/api/acts/planning-and-development-region-planning-schemes-regulations-2023/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/planning-and-development-region-planning-schemes-regulations-2023/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/planning-and-development-region-planning-schemes-regulations-2023/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/planning-and-development-region-planning-schemes-regulations-2023/documents"}}
