Key Dates
Preliminary consultation with stakeholders
Stage One of the preparation of the City’s Local Planning Strategy (LPS), which was promoted under the tagline “Tomorrow’s Kwinana” is now complete with the undertaking of a comprehensive Community Consultation and Engagement (CCE) Program during April and May 2019.
The engagement focused on five key topics relating to the strategy - housing, transport, employment and the economy, biodiversity and rural land use.
The engagement with the community and stakeholder groups included:
- Making available draft Land Use Planning Studies and Discussion Papers on the City’s LPS webpage, including printed copies of the Discussion Papers.
- A Survey Questionnaire.
- Facilitation of:
- Four workshops for the general community;
- Two information sessions for the Stakeholder Groups; and
- Three Focus Group sessions with an Aboriginal Community Group, a Youth Group; and the City’s Senior Management Team.
In total, 246 responses were received from community and stakeholders. Of these, 55 people attended the Community Workshops and Focus Group Sessions and 187 people completed the Survey Questionnaire with four written submissions.
Council endorsed the Community Consultation Engagement Outcomes report in its meeting held on 25 September 2019. Refer to https://www.lovemykwinana.com/79005/widgets/377979/documents/236891
The responses from the Community Consultation Engagement Program will now feed directly into Stage Two of the Local Planning Strategy which focuses on the development of a draft Local Planning Strategy.
