The draft R-Codes were released for public comment in October 2000. While they were available for public comment until 28 February 2001, in view of the extent of the changes proposed arising from the submissions, a further opportunity to comment is being provided.

During the process of reviewing the R-Codes, the status of the minimum site areas on table 1 of the R-Codes and the WAPC's discretion to vary these minimum areas by subdivision approval has been questioned. This planning bulletin seeks comment on changes to policy and legislation in respect of this issue.
