FAQ

Common questions

Do I need DA if I'm under 90 nights?
No. The Town's community consultation page confirms the scheme amendment aligns with the state 90-night exemption for Perth metro councils. Under 90 nights, state registration is all that's required.
My management plan needs to include a fire/emergency plan — what does that mean?
LPP 210 requires details of local emergency services and a fire/emergency response plan for visitors. This is a short written document explaining what guests should do in a fire or emergency. Urban Approval Group includes this in all management plans we prepare for Claremont applications.
How long does the development application take?
The Town's website indicates applications receive contact for fee payment once processed. Standard WA timeframe is 60 days from lodgement. Confirm current turnaround with the Town directly.
I have a 4-bedroom house — can I accommodate 8 guests?
LPP 210 sets a default maximum of 2 guests per bedroom. For 4 bedrooms that's 8 guests, but the policy states applications proposing more than 6 total require additional justification and may receive a time-limited approval rather than an open-ended one.
