About the City's Local Planning Strategy
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Local Planning Strategy supports the community’s vision of shaping Kalgoorlie-Boulder to be a place where people choose to live, work, and play.
This page provides information on current development applications that require community consultation and public advertising.
Under the City's Local Planning Scheme No. 2, certain types of development applications require community consultation and public advertising to be undertaken, particularly where large-scale developments are being proposed, land use applications or variations to a development standard that may impact on adjoining properties or the surrounding community.
How Planning Applications Are Assessed
We know development proposals can spark a lot of interest - and sometimes concern - in the community. Whether it's a new commercial building or a proposed workforce accommodation facility, one common question is: who approves these applications?
The answer depends on the value, complexity, and type of development.
The Role of Council
The City’s Planning Team assesses most development applications in line with the Local Planning Scheme No. 2 and State Planning Policies. Council is responsible for:
Importantly, Council and planning officers can only make decisions based on the planning merits of an application. These include things like land use, built form, traffic management, and environmental impacts - not whether a proposal is popular or unpopular in the community.
This ensures consistency, fairness, and compliance with the planning framework - even if individual views differ.
The Role of DAP
The State’s Regional Development Assessment Panel (RDAP) is an independent decision-making body comprising technical experts and two members of Council.
From 1 March 2024, Western Australia’s RDAP system became an opt-in for developments over $2 million (excluding single homes).
Development applications lodged with the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, where the estimated cost of development is over $2 million are sent to RDAP on an opt-in basis.
Developers choose to go to RDAP for:
RDAP decisions are guided by the same planning rules and policies, with no influence from political or public pressure.

Community Involvement in the Development Application Process
We value community feedback and want to hear your views. While planning decisions are not popularity contests, your input helps decision-makers understand local context and possible impacts.
You can participate in the planning application process by:
- Reviewing development applications open for public comment (see the drop down list below)
- Lodging a submission during the consultation period
- If an application goes to RDAP, you can request to present your views at the panel meeting
