Cradled by the Murray River, Pinjarra is an idyllic town with a rich heritage and abundance of country charm. Pinjarra is the ancestral home of the Bindjareb people of the Noongar Nation and is one of Western Australia's earliest colonial settlements (dating back to 1834).
As the Peel Region's secondary centre, it serves an important role in the region. Couple this with its rapidly growing population, unique environment and economic diversification, and Pinjarra's local businesses and existing community face an exciting, but also challenging, opportunity.
To plan and manage for the town’s future prosperity and liveability, the Shire is updating the Pinjarra Planning Framework. This includes a refreshed Pinjarra District Structure Plan, Pinjarra Precinct Structure Plan and amendment to Local Planning Scheme No. 4.
The Framework delivers a contemporary guide for future zoning, subdivision and development of Pinjarra. Throughout the document, the Shire has placed significant focus on the town’s identity and how it will be retained as Pinjarra grows.
The Shire is now seeking community feedback on the Framework's direction and vision, giving stakeholders the exciting opportunity to shape the future of Murray’s primary centre.
