The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) have received a proposal from Hancock Energy to dedicate a portion of Crown Reserve 10867 as a road (indicated in blue in the map below). The Reserve is formally only recognised as a stock route but has been operating as a public road for decades (Yandanooka West Road).

To facilitate the dedication, the Shire must comply with s.56 of the Land Administration Act 1997 and Regulation 8 of the Land Administration Regulations 1998.
Submissions are currently invited on the proposal and can be made in writing by:
- Email: governance@mingenew.wa.gov.au
- Post: Shire of Mingenew, PO Box 120 Mingenew WA 6522
- In-person: Shire Administration, 21 Victoria Road, Mingenew WA 6522
Submissions close at 9am, Thursday 11 June 2026
Any submissions received will be considered by Council at the 16 June 2026 Ordinary Council Meeting.
