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.
