Shire Of Carnarvon
Local Government in Carnarvon

The Shire of Carnarvon supports a varied range of community events and activities. The Shire believes that lovely public begin spaces with facilities for recreation, sport, children’s play areas and other activities amplify social interaction and foster physical activity and active living. The community should have the greatest feasible opportunity to put forward views on public open space planning that will better face the needs of the community going into the future. Within this region there are many areas available for camping including limited facilities. The precinct also houses the Railway Museum, home of the fully restored Kimberley Steam train that operated from the Jetty to town in the 1950’s or enjoy a coffee, ice cream or light lunch at the fresh Interpretive center. An crucial role and function of local government is to plan, implement, administer and review the orderly and sustainable use, development and management of all land contained within its local government area. Make proposals for the way in which the area should develop over time and. These actions and tasks and the resulting outcomes are generally embodied in a strategic land use plan (or plans), which essentially, is a road map that sets out the way for a community or region to attain its vision. Strategic land use plans also provide the contextual framework for the handle and regulation of land use and development, and for the making of land use planning and development policies to guide decision making authorities and developers in the use and development of land. The aim of an LP is to express more clearly the strategic vision, policies, objectives and major proposals for land use and development within a town planning manipulate area, say over a 15 to 20 year time frame. However, by forming a portion of a apropos town planning scheme, the local government is to have regard to it in formulating, adopting and endorsing local area plans, area improvement plans, town planning handle policies, and proposals to rezone, subdivide and to use and prosper land. Thereafter, proposals for fresh land use and development, or changes to existing land use and development will be needed to comply to the LP and new scheme. The impact of land use development on these elements however is largely addressed when formulating zoning schemes and plans or land use structure plans beforehand. Again, any member of the public is welcome to attend a Notable Meeting of Council and ask questions of the Council within the allotted public ask time. Once a dog is declared uncertain it will have to be muzzled at all times in public places. You may think your dog is totally harmless and unlikely to assault a person, however, roaming dogs are often guilty of approaching and attacking other dogs. At all times the dog is in a public place it must be held on a leash by a person suited of controlling the dog. All restricted breed dogs must be sterilized and proof to this must be shown to the Local Government. The Shire of Carnarvon interprets an close and inclusive community as one which all Council functions, facilities and services (both In house and contracted) are open, available and close to people with disabilities, providing them with the same opportunities, rights and responsibilities as other people in the community. The local Australia Day celebrations are another event on the community calendar which is supported by the Shire of Carnarvon and local service and community groups. The Sport Development and Participation Fund (SPF) aims to produce funds to sporting organizations for groups of children and young people from Carnarvon to have opportunities to participate in sporting activities and events which aim to improve skill development. The Shire of Carnarvon’s Club Development Officer’s role and function is to aid local sports and recreational groups to fully flourish and establish within the Shire.
