There is no timeframe for the work outlined in the policy to be completed. The work required to be completed in the policy is not a Shire led project, but rather is required to be completed by subdividers of property backing onto the laneways, at the time they subdivide. It is the responsibility of the subdividers to upgrade the laneway. The policy outlines the design requirements for the upgrade treatment of the laneway, which will enhance the quality of the built environment and promote safer space through passive surveillance.
