"In late 2018, council started a conversation with our community as a part of the Open to Change campaign for the Local Environmental Plan (LEP)," LPSC general manager Jo Sangster said.
"The campaign provided an opportunity for the community to have input into what areas in the shire they think should be rezoned, and where, in their opinion, future development should be permissible with and without consent and what should be prohibited.
Ms Sangster said the consultation, combined with the Industrial Land Use Strategy in 2017 and the Community Strategic Plan had also informed the direction.
"Council also conducted a survey in late 2019 to ensure that we are on the right track with reflecting community aspirations for planning," she said.
