    Reducing the Regulatory Burden on Business Taskforce Inquiry City of Stirling Submission In cooperation with the Stirling Business Association JOHN McILHONE Economic Development Business Analyst November 2005 Administration Centre 25 Cedric Street Stirling WA 6021 www.stirling.wa.gov.au Tel. 08 9345 8599 Mob. 0419 195 715 Email. [email protected] BACKGROUND The City of Stirling is the largest Local Authority Council in Western Australia by population. It covers an area of approximately 100 km² in metropolitan Perth and lies about 8 Kilometres North of the Perth CBD. Stirling has key industrial areas at Balcatta, Herdsman and Osborne Park with 11,500 small businesses located within the City, representing 11% of the State's small business, a significant concentration of employment and employers. All these areas are well serviced by major arterial roads with links to the Mitchell Freeway providing easy access to the Perth CBD, Perth Airport and Fremantle as well as the main highways leading north, south and east of the State. The northern suburban rail service from Perth, which runs up the centre of the freeway, passes through the City with stations at Glendalough — servicing Osborne Park and Scarborough Beach; Stirling — servicing the strategic regional centre and complemented by links to an extensive suburban bus network. Warwick station is another well patronised rail inter-change on the northern boarder of the City's boundary. The City is well serviced by regional shopping centres at Karrinyup and Mirrabooka. These centres serve both the local and wider community in the Perth northern corridor. The City also boasts a wide choice of residential areas, from the coastal suburbs of Waterman’s Bay, North Beach, Trigg and Scarborough through to the heritage areas of Mt.

  • 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.
