Rezoning Status In April 2004, The Hon Alannah MacTiernan formally advised us that she is willing to allow the rezoning amendment relating to SomerVille to be advertised for public comment. The 42-day advertising period finished in September 2005 with 36 submissions received.
The Hon Alannah MacTiernan advised us in February 2007 that she will allow the rezoning amendment for SomerVille Ecovillage™. This was finally published in the Government Gazette on the 14th of August 2007. We now proceed with the Local Subdivision Infrastructure Plan (LSIP) and Subdivision with the Shire of Mundaring. We hope that these will be approved by the last quarter of 2007. It is interesting that the general perception overseas is because we have so much land “we can do anything we like”. This is far from the reality of life here in Australia. The statutory process that we are required to move through is one of the most complex and arduous anywhere in the world. It took nearly three years to obtain approval from the Mundaring Shire and nearly four years from the State Government.
