Land Use and Strategic Implications .............................................................................................. 51 Syme Marmion & Co: Economic Analysis for Local Planning Strategy ii Executive Summary Population In common with all of the municipalities in the Perth South Metropolitan and Peel regions, Kwinana is experiencing substantial population growth. The population of the City of Kwinana is in the middle of a strong growth phase. It grew from 23,986 in 2006 to 30,697 in 2011 and to 40,058 in 2016. The City’s population is projected to more than double to 85,158 by 2036. This has several direct implications: • An increased resident workforce, with the consequent demand for increased employment opportunities; • Increased demand for activity centre floorspace (retail, commercial, services) – this will primarily affect existing activity centres in the City. The City is bounded to the north and south by the much larger Cities of Cockburn and Rockingham respectively. This constitutes its immediate local region. Together they contain the main local and regional employment centres: The Western Trade Coast (the Kwinana / Rockingham Industrial Complex and Henderson), the Rockingham Strategic Metropolitan Centre and Stirling base. The region is growing quickly: between 2016 and 2036 the population of the three cities combined will almost double to 436,000. Kwinana is somewhat smaller in population than the other two, constituting around 20% of the total by 2036. To the south the Peel region is also growing strongly and its population will almost double to 248,000 by 2036. Population growth

The Minister has rejected the Board’s recommendation for the City of Perth, on the basis that key icons such as The University of Western Australia (UWA) and the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre (QEII), were not included.

  • 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.

  • 19 January 2021 Western Suburbs Councils Join
    19 January 2021 Western Suburbs Councils join forces to solve density problem Just as environmental impacts cross local government boundaries so too does traffic congestion which is usually an unwelcome side effect of density done badly. This is why a coordinated approach to density across all Western Suburb local governments is a must, particularly given their small size. It’s also a way of tackling what many in the community keep asking; “What about Metronet and the rail line, why isn’t there a more concerted effort to locate density there?” Mayor de Lacy has lobbied fellow Western Suburbs Mayors and State government since being elected to take a collaborative approach to density in the western suburbs. “A strategic approach led by a regional density target is likely to deliver better outcomes and achieve the support of the community, than a piecemeal approach where cumulative impacts are ignored, and rules change when you cross a local government boundary.” Now the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage is convening a Western Suburbs Project Working Group comprising local government, Department of Transport, Public Transport Authority and Main Roads WA to advise WAPC on strategic plans for Stirling Highway (from Broadway to McCabe St) and the Fremantle Rail line (from Subiaco to northern boundary of City of Fremantle). Issues such as finding the right locations (and form) for density based on land tenure, transport options, heritage and land use for example will be front and centre. “This is now more important than ever as we are no longer focussed just on townhouses, villas and small apartment blocks; we are now seeing 20+ storey development proposals which are a real game changer for the western suburbs.” Crucial to gaining public support for this high density will be quantifying infrastructure problems and opportunities including analysis of existing networks under a range of future scenarios as recommended by Infrastructure Australia.
