Rockingham defers residential development decision over water management concerns
What happened
The City of Rockingham deferred a planning decision regarding a residential development in Baldivis. The deferral followed concerns raised by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation regarding water management for the project. The proposal involves $41 million in earthworks, which includes adding 1.47 million cubic meters of fill to the site.

Why it matters
The decision to defer the project means the residential development cannot proceed until a district water management strategy is completed and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation's concerns are addressed. This impacts the timeline and planning for the large-scale housing project.
