There are three region schemes in operation in Western Australia - the Metropolitan Region Scheme, Peel Region Scheme and Greater Bunbury Region Scheme.
Metropolitan Region Scheme
The Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS) guides land use and provides the legal basis for planning in the Perth metropolitan region, dividing it into broad zones and reservations.
Peel Region Scheme
The Peel Region Scheme (PRS) guides land use and provides the legal basis for planning in the Peel Region. The area includes the local government boundaries of the City of Mandurah and the shires of Murray and Waroona.
Greater Bunbury Region Scheme
The Greater Bunbury Region Scheme (GBRS) guides land use and provides the legal basis for planning in the Greater Bunbury region. The area includes the local government boundaries of the City of Bunbury, Shires of Capel, Dardanup and Harvey.
