Council News

The Shire of Corrigin has recently undertaken a review of the Strategic Community Plan. During April and May community members were invited to “Have Your Say” via community Surveys and/or attendance at the Community Workshop held on Monday 22nd May 2017 at the Corrigin Recreation & Events Centre. Your responses and input gave us valuable insight into your vision for the future.

Consultant Jessica Spark from Moore Stevens (WA), was engaged to oversee this important process, collecting information covering a broad range of matters, which have contributed to the Shire of Corrigin Strategic Community Plan, sharing the visions and aspirations for our future. The Strategic Community Plan outlines how the Shire will, over the long term, work towards a brighter future for the Shire of Corrigin community, as it seeks to achieve its vision inspired by the community’s aspirations.

SHIRE PROJECTS

Corrigin footpaths and street signs, condition assessments

Over the last week the Shire has been undertaking visual assessments of the town site footpaths and street signs. Photos have been taken and data collected on the condition of existing infrastructure. This information will be used by the Shire to develop a maintenance, repair and replacement plan, identifying priorities and estimating costs for inclusion in the Shire’s Long Term Financial Plan, which flows into annual budgets.

“5.2.1 The Residential Design Code density which applies to land zoned for residential use within the Scheme Area is R20.

However, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Scheme, where reticulated sewerage and water is available to a lot in the Corrigin townsite and where that lot is zoned ‘Residential’:

(a) subject to Sub-Clause (b), the local government may for the purposes of urban consolidation, consent to the

development of a lot for the purposes of grouped dwellings at a maximum density of R40 on a lot/s greater than 1,500m² within any area coded R20 on the Scheme Map, subject to advertising of the required development application pursuant to Clause 6.3; and

(b) in determining any development application lodged pursuant to Sub-Clauses (a) above the local government shall

consider, in addition to those matters listed in Clause 6.5, the objectives for all land classified Residential zone, any relevant Local Planning Policy and the likely impacts of the proposed development on the amenity of the immediate locality in which the proposed development is to be situated.”

CATS & DOGS Responsible Pet Ownership...

Responsible ownership includes caring for your pet's welfare needs, along with registration, microchipping and adequate confinement to your property.

If you own a dog or a cat, you must:

Register each dog & cat you own with the Shire of Corrigin

Keep your dog on a leash when walking it in public

Clean up your dog’s faeces when walking in public places

Keep your dog confined to your property at all other times

Make sure your dog doesn’t bark persistently

Stop your dog or cat straying onto another person’s

property

Prevent your dog chasing or attacking people or other

animals

You can be fined for breaking the law relating to dogs and cats and may also have to pay a release fee if your animals are found wandering and are impounded by Shire.

WHY DO I NEED TO REGISTER MY DOG? It is required under the Dog Act 1976 for all dogs over three months of age to be registered with the local government. It’s important for both the general community and their dogs that the Shire of Corrigin has a record of dogs and their owners. Registration allows the Shire to provide for better facilities and conditions for responsible dog owners. Your dog is required to wear a collar with a valid registration tag attached. This tag will be issued by the Shire when you pay your registration fee. The benefits of registration are: Positive identification of your dog Reuniting lost or injured dogs with their owners Investigation and resolution of dog problems Encouraging desexing of dogs through discounted

registration fees. The period of dog registration runs from 1 November to 31 October, regardless of when the dog is actually registered. Your dog can be registered for 1 year, 3 years or a lifetime.

Further information on Responsible Dog & Cat Ownership is available on the Shire of Corrigin website.

RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP

Being responsible for your pet protects you, your pet and members of the community.
