Council members in the City of Stirling vote 14-1 in May to change planning policies for three suburbs, introducing a ban on roller shutters. The decision applies to locations identified by the council as part of the policy changes, with the council chair describing the amendment as a shift in planning rules for those areas. Under the updated planning approach, roller shutters are no longer permitted in the affected suburbs, according to the reports.
Both outlets state the vote occurred at the council’s May meeting and that the result was strongly in favour, with 14 councillors supporting the changes and one councillor opposing. The reports focus on the council’s action to amend planning policies rather than providing additional detail on enforcement, timelines, or exceptions. No source in the provided materials specifies whether existing roller shutters are required to be removed, how approvals are handled for new installations, or which specific suburbs are included beyond the reference to three suburbs within the City of Stirling.
