In support of State Planning Policy 2.5: Rural planning (SPP 2.5) and the Rural planning guidelines, the Western Australian Planning Commission has prepared this Fact Sheet to assist planners in assessing development proposals for poultry farms.
Animal premises are important contributors to the food needs of Western Australia’s residents and to the State’s economy. In order to operate effectively they require ready access to consumers, access to services and freight, appropriate environmental or climatic conditions, and the ability to respond to changes in the market.
This fact sheet outlines a range of land use planning considerations relevant to the establishment, expansion or modification of poultry farms in Western Australia.
