WA Planning 101 for Property Developers! Statewest Planning (Jason Hunt)
You find a site. The zoning works. The numbers stack up. You're ready to move forward.
Then someone mentions local planning policies, regional planning schemes, state planning requirements, council preferences, and development approval pathways... and suddenly you're wondering whether you've missed something that could derail the entire project.
The reality is that Western Australia's planning system is unlike anywhere else in Australia. Subdivisions are assessed at the state level, while development applications may be determined by either state or local government or even be exempt. Understanding how these systems intersect is critical if you want to avoid costly mistakes and maximise your chances of approval.
That's exactly why you need to hear from Jason Hunt from Statewest Planning.
Jason will deliver a practical Planning 101 session designed specifically for property developers, breaking down how the WA planning system really works and what every small-to-medium developer needs to know before buying their next site.
Jason will cover:
• How the WA state and local planning systems interact
• The difference between regional and local planning schemes
• How local planning policies influence development outcomes
• Why understanding your chosen council is critical to success
• Common planning pitfalls that catch developers out
• How to reduce risk and improve approval outcomes
This is practical, real-world knowledge that can help you make smarter site acquisitions, avoid costly planning surprises, and navigate the WA development landscape with confidence.
If you're serious about property development in Western Australia, don't miss this session.
