The Planning for Basic Raw Materials guidelines (2021) supersedes Basic Raw Materials Applicants’ manual (2009).
These guidelines should be read in conjunction with State Planning Policy 2.4 Planning for Basic Raw Materials (SPP 2.4). They provide support for decision-making authorities, proponents and referral agencies to implement SPP 2.4.
The guidelines provide assistance in:
- guiding the appropriate land use planning practices and development approval requirements in relation to Basic Raw Materials (BRM) across Western Australia by specifying requirements to be met during planning and development processes; and
- ensuring that necessary BRM management measures are incorporated into land development.
