Rezoning to pave way for Pinjarra development (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Shire of Murray has agreed to change its planning scheme so a Pinjarra site can be used for residential development.

Trucks wearing away Pinjarra road (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A 13-fold increase in truck movements per day has forced the Shire of Murray to change its budget to pay for road repairs in Pinjarra.
