  • Proposed Amendment No.188 to City of Swan Local Planning Scheme
    Ordinary Meeting of Council 06 May 2020 3.1 PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO.188 TO CITY OF SWAN LOCAL PLANNING SCHEME NO.17 - TO REMOVE VARIOUS LAND IN SOUTH GUILDFORD, ASCOT AND REDCLIFFE FROM THE SCHEME IN RESPONSE TO CITY OF BELMONT LOCAL PLANNING SCHEME AMENDMENT NO.11 Ward: (No Wards) (Statutory Planning) Disclosure of Interest: Nil Authorised Officer: (Executive Manager Planning and Development) KEY ISSUES • In December 2017 'Local Government (Belmont and Swan - Change of Boundaries) Order 2017' came into effect, which transferred approximately 12ha of land in South Guildford, Ascot and Redcliffe from the City of Swan to the City of Belmont. • The City of Belmont is seeking comment on their advertised Amendment No.11 to its Local Planning Scheme No.15 which, amongst other matters, seeks to: o Update their scheme's boundaries to include all land that was transferred from City of Swan to City of Belmont as part of the above 2017 Order. o Provide City of Belmont's local zones to this land, where required. This will result in Lot 2 Apac Way, South Guildford and Lot 3 Great Eastern Highway, Redcliffe being entirely zoned 'Industrial' and Lot 301 Great Eastern Highway, Ascot being entirely zoned 'Mixed Use'. • Staff have no objection to the City of Belmont's proposal as this land is no longer within the City of Swan and the proposed zones are considered logical. • With City of Belmont updating its scheme, it is timely for the City of Swan to take steps to update its Scheme to omit this same land. This is the purpose of proposed Amendment No.188 to City of Swan Local Planning Scheme No.17 (LPS17).

  • Western Australia: a Small Area Perspective
    ......................................................................F E A T U R E A R T I C L E – Western Australia: A Small Area Perspective INTRODUCTION Western Australia occupies the western third of the Australian continent, comprising a land area of about 2,529,880 square kilometres. The administration of the urban and regional areas of this large and diverse State is divided amongst 142 local government authorities; nine development commissions; and a number of State and Commonwealth government departments and organisations. The demand for information relating to small geographic areas (such as Local Government Areas — LGAs) and broader regions (such as development commission regions) continues to increase. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is committed to identifying and disseminating social, economic and environmental data for small areas to assist governments and communities seeking to enhance local and regional well–being in an environmentally sustainable way. The results of this on–going data gathering from ABS and non–ABS information sources are compiled and available in the ABS' Western Australian Regional Profiles, more details of which are provided on page 26, and through the Integrated Regional Data Base, details of which are available on the ABS website at www.abs.gov.au (select Products & Services/Key Products). This article presents selected social and economic data for LGAs from the 2002 Regional Profiles to provide a mosaic of social and economic life in urban and regional Western Australia. A significant proportion of the social data has been drawn from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. The Census is the most comprehensive source of information about the characteristics of people in Australia and the dwellings in which they live.

  • 1.2 Proposed Policy - Sister City Relationships
    Ordinary Meeting of Council 1 March 2006 1.2 PROPOSED POLICY - SISTER CITY RELATIONSHIPS (All Wards) (Internal Audit) KEY ISSUES • The City's past approach to sister city relationships has been an informal one. Until recently, only one such relationship existed with Bivongi, Italy and limited to art and culture exhibitions through AM International • Requests for the City to enter into sister city relationships is increasing and a formal policy statement and assessment criteria is required in order to effectively assess these requests It is recommended to adopt the attached policy titled 'Sister City Relationships'; place $10,000 on the City's draft 2006/07 budget for consideration and assess the current sister city request from Inami, Japan against the new policy and assessment criteria in a future report to Council. BACKGROUND At the Leadership & Governance Councillor Portfolio meeting held in September 2005, the matter of providing an adequate budget for the City's current sister city relationships was discussed, together with a request to investigate the relevance of a policy statement and selection criteria for new sister city relationship requests. REPORT At the request of the Leadership & Governance Councillor Portfolio Committee, comparisons were made with other local governments regarding sister city relationship policies and assessment criteria. The Cities of Joondalup, Belmont and Perth were contacted and all have varying degrees and types of commitment to sister city relationships. City of Joondalup The City of Joondalup has one sister city relationship with Jinan, China. Friendly relations between the two cities have been developing since 2000 and in November 2004, an official protocol agreement formalising the sister city relationship was signed.
