Principles for Preservation of Banjup
(as adopted by Council of City of Cockburn 13 October 2022)

The City's continuing strategic intent for Banjup that its natural landscapes maintain a positive and memorable rural appearance.
Banjup Is a highly appreciated, rural locality whose character and amenity will be preserved by the City.
Banjup will be advocated as a highly appreciated, naturally rich, rural locality to:
1. State and Commonwealth governments, particularly when planning its long-term future,
2. Property developers contemplating changes to Banjup’s rural status.
The City will earnestly seek to resolve the zoning anomaly in the south west corner of Banjup.
The intended function of the roads in Banjup Is for traffic within its local area and not for traffic between outside areas and they will be managed as such.
Reserves in Banjup will be preserved as accessible places of peace and quiet with rich flora and fauna.
Ecological linkages within and between reserves In Banjup will be developed and maintained for the enjoyment and amenity of residents and visitors.
The City will continuously encourage and Inform Banjup landowners in the safe and sustainable stewardship and preservation of their lands so that future generations living in Banjup can enjoy increasingly richer flora and fauna.
