Proposed Local Fencing Law

Published on Tuesday, 24 February 2026 at 11:52:24 AM

The Shire of East Pilbara proposes to make the “Shire of East Pilbara Fencing Local Law 2026”.

The purpose of this local law is to introduce a discretionary approval mechanism enabling the Shire to consider industrial dividing and boundary fencing that do not comply with clause 2.10(3) and (4) of the Shire of East

Pilbara Fencing Local Law 2011.

The effect of this local law is to allow the Shire to approve existing or proposed industrial dividing and boundary fences that do not meet the current barbed-wire angle or other materials with spiked or jagged projections or

setback requirements, subject to an assessment of safety, amenity and land-use impacts.

A copy of the proposed Shire of East Pilbara Fencing Local Law may be inspected or obtained from the Shire’s website www.eastpilbara.wa.gov.au or from the Shire offices at Cnr Kalgan and Newman Drives, Newman or
