AU Australia property term
Planning Scheme Amendment
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
A statutory process for changing the zoning, reserves, maps or written provisions of a region or local planning scheme.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
A proposed amendment is not an approval and may change, take time or fail. Base a purchase decision on the current scheme unless the contract specifically protects the planning risk.
