Credit: The West AustralianPerth mining executive Tim Goyder and his wife Linda will be allowed to build a taller rear laneway wall as part of ongoing renovations to their $17 million riverfront property. Council officers said as the variations were inconsistent with the local planning provisions, the town’s fencing laws should now be reviewed. Cr Singleton believed the wall height was not an “unreasonable request” given the area was home to people with a high level of wealth.
