Municipal Inventory	Adopted	19 Nov 1997	Category 3	Category 3 Inclusion in the Shire's Town Planning Scheme No. 4 means a local recognition and measure of protection of the heritage value of a place. Full implications of inclusion into the Town Planning Scheme No. 4 are outlined in appendix 1.

Professional advice and consultation would be available, from the Heritage Council of WA, through the Wheatbelt Heritage Adviser, the Shire or specialised consultants, to inform property owners of development options should it be appropriate.
