We detected a change to West Wimmera's planning scheme (VC323): for full accuracy, we're showing the amendment's own official government description directly: "Amend clause 59.05 (Building and works in an overlay) to enable a VicSmart application for land within an EMO to be accompanied by the information specified in the EMO, including information specified in a schedule to the EMO.", this is the amendment's own official wording, not a PolicyPing-generated description of the scheme text.
