Information Package for Applicants Strategic Planning Services Information Package for Applicants Strategic Planning Services Further information: call Carol Catherwood on 9411 3598 email [email protected] Acknowledgement of Country The City of Cockburn acknowledges the Nyungar people who are the traditional custodians of this land. We pay respect to the Nyungar Elders past, present and future and extend that respect to all Aboriginal Australians. About the City of Cockburn The City of Cockburn is home to some of Western Australia's best wetlands, major tourism attractions, growing communities and leisure and recreational activities. There are many things to see and do and the City offers visitors and residents a supreme quality of life. Stunning coastline The City is home to coastal communities near protected and pristine beaches. These areas offer residents a laid-back lifestyle. Port Coogee is an idyllic harbour in one of Perth’s newest seaside communities. Coogee Beach and the Woodman Point recreation reserve house a range of leisure activities. Visitors can enjoy fishing, boating, kite-surfing, camping and hiking. The Australian Marine Complex (AMC) in Henderson is Western Australia’s largest ship-building centre. The AMC services the oil and gas, mining and resource sectors. Pristine wetlands Two chains of wetlands run north-south through the City as part of the Beeliar Regional Park. These areas provide habitat for local flora and fauna and are a natural oasis within Cockburn. Many of the wetland areas have walking and cycling trails, BBQs, public amenities and playgrounds. Bibra Lake Regional Playground (pictured left) offers children a unique nature play facility. The playground contains Aboriginal story- telling and has disability access. The City’s most well-known chain of wetlands, featuring North Lake, Bibra Lake, Yangebup Lake and Thomsons Lake runs centrally through our municipality. Growing communities Over 120,000 people live in the City’s 23 suburbs and this is expected to grow to over 170,000 by 2041. Along our coastline, our neighbourhoods are characterised by residential development set amongst a chain of wetlands, featuring Lake Coogee and the Market Garden Swamps, and is home to a rapidly growing coastal community, including the Port Coogee Marina (pictured left) and the Cockburn Coast developments at North Coogee. The fast growing communities of the central and eastern parts of Cockburn have access to state-of-the-art facilities. These include the Cockburn ARC recreation and aquatic centre at Cockburn Central and the Cockburn Gateway Shopping City in Success. The Bibra Lake and Phoenix Commercial Parks are important areas, which add to the economy and provide local employment. Urban hubs The fast growing areas of Cockburn Central Town Centre and Success host a range of retail and commercial services. These areas are easily accessed by public transport to the Perth CBD. Cockburn Central is fast becoming one of Perth’s most sought after locations. Residents and visitors can enjoy shopping, dining, recreation and leisure facilities all within easy walking distance. The nature of Strategic Planning projects Cockburn is in a unique stage of its history – we’re consolidating our growth. We’ve just had two decades of urban growth in a greenfield context and some of that is yet to unfold. However, our older areas are now transforming through infill and brownfield redevelopment. We are the location of the State’s premier shipbuilding industry, will be on the doorstep of the new port, have one of the highest performing centres and are in the midst of delivering several hundred million dollars in community infrastructure and major road upgrades in the coming decade. Like all Councils, we have our growth challenges, with some of them relating to promoting better design outcomes for our suburban centres and how quality infill development outcomes are delivered. All this means that cookie-cutter planning ideas often do not work at Cockburn and we are looking for someone who can approach project work based on principles relating to collaboration, evidenced based planning and a passion for great design outcomes. The team Within the City we have two planning teams handling different functions: o Statutory = dealing with development applications, subdivision and some policy o Strategic = structure plans, scheme amendments, strategy, some policy, also moving into economic development. The broader Strategic Planning team includes other functions including development contributions, cartographics and land administration (acquisitions and land development and and managing and developing the City’s land holdings and leases and licences) The Strategic Planning team has an enviable depth of experience and capabilities with several long term members. We are a diverse team with a range of backgrounds and a genuine love for what we do and doing it well. Demonstrating the team’s experience is the recently prepared in house draft Local Planning Strategy. Our team structure has two direct reporting lines, one via the Manager role and the other through the Coordinator role. These are shown overleaf. Manager reporting line: Manager Coordinator Development Administration Senior Strategic Contributions Officer Cartographer Planning Officer Coordinator reporting line: Coordinator Strategic Planning Lands officers Strategic Planners 2 x Property & Lands Officers 3 x senior 1 x Leasing/Licencing officer 1 x officer 1 x Land Admin Assist (PT) If you are looking for a challenging role in one of Perth’s most progressive growth councils and want to work in a great team environment, contact Carol Catherwood on 9411 3598 to discuss or apply directly https://www.cockburn.wa.gov.au/City-and-Council/Jobs-and- Tenders/Job-Vacancies .

  • The Perth Freight Link: Facts and Fiction Prepared by Peter Newman and Philip Jennings for the Beeliar Group – Professors for Environmental Responsibility
    For Release 8 Feb 2017 The Perth Freight Link: Facts and Fiction Prepared by Peter Newman and Philip Jennings for The Beeliar Group – Professors for Environmental Responsibility The supporters of Roe 8 and the Perth Freight Link (PFL) have been spreading misinformation and half truths about the developments. Their aim is to discredit alternatives by the selective use of the facts. This analysis of the Roe 8 and PFL myths provides a more complete picture. Myth 1: The PFL has been on the books for 60 years and no one objected until recently. The PFL was a Prime Minister Abbott “Captain’s Call” presented to the former Transport Minister, Dean Nalder, at a meeting in Canberra in early 2015, along with similar highly controversial roads in Melbourne and Sydney. The Melbourne East-West Link was rejected by the Victorian people at their last election. It is extremely unusual to have a road project proposed by a Commonwealth politician and it has disrupted all planning processes since it was dropped on Perth without any history or warning. The PFL is still a vague proposal and the detailed design has never been released publicly or assessed by the EPA. Roe 8 was included in the Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963 without any public consultation or environmental impact assessment as part of a ring road bringing traffic to the coast between North Coogee and South Beach and then north to Fremantle. The Cockburn Wetlands Study of 1975 first suggested that the road should not proceed. The first environmental assessment was carried out by the EPA in 1978 and it recommended in its System Six report in 1980 that a new route be found because the proposed route was environmentally unacceptable.

  • Western Australia
    WESTERN AUSTRALIA LAW AND JUSTICE FOUNDATION COLLABORATIVE PLANNING RESOURCE – JURISDICTIONAL DATA 2015 The Law and Justice Foundation of New South Wales (LJF) Collaborative Planning Resource (CPR) is intended to support the planning of legal assistance services by Australian jurisdictions. In 2015 this resource will be delivered in two parts: The LJF Collaborative Planning Resource – Service Planning (CPR-SP) summarises the research evidence on legal need and access to justice and the implications for planning legal service delivery. The geographical location of legal services, while important, is only one key aspect of planning and delivering effective legal assistance services to those most in need. Recognising the variation between different priority groups and the overlap between them, services can be targeted at identified client groups; timely to client’s experience; appropriate to varying legal need and capability; and joined-up as part of a holistic response. i Service design is likely to vary accordingly. For instance, reaching hard to find groups through other (often non-legal) services with which they have regular contact. The CPR-SP also provides useful information for designing appropriate legal services for specific priority demographic groups: ‘who’ priority clients are, ‘what’ types of services are appropriate to their legal needs and capabilities, and ‘how’ these services might be delivered. The LJF Collaborative Planning Resource – Jurisdictional Data (CPR-JD) brings together three sets of information relevant to making decisions about legal assistance provision: • The geographic distribution of the Commonwealth’s priority groups for services • The prevalence of experiencing legal problems for each priority group • The geographic distribution of those most likely to be in need of legal assistance services for financial or other reasons.

  • ECM 9857885 V2 Media Release
    cockburn.wa.gov.au Media Release 15 October 2020 Dogs prohibited at Woodman Point beach from 21 October to protect nesting shorebirds, but more dog-friendly spaces planned Dogs will be prohibited at Woodman Point beach from 21 October, following Cockburn Council’s adoption of the Animal Management and Exercise Plan 2020-2025 (AMEP). Dogs will no longer be allowed at Woodman Point beach from Ammunition Jetty heading south around the Woodman Point headland to where the dog beach begins at Jervoise Bay. The AMEP still enables about 40 per cent of Cockburn’s coast to be accessible to dogs, plus the provision of more off-leash dog exercise areas at large public open spaces, and two new dog parks in the future During preparation of the AMEP, Council requested an independent Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The EIA found that continuing to allow dogs at the beach would adversely impact the area’s nesting shorebirds, including federally protected species that migrate annually from the northern hemisphere. The EIA found making the beach a ‘no dog’ area would provide a safe refuge with conservation benefits for vulnerable Fairy Terns, shorebirds, seabirds and other native species. Extensive public consultation during the Plan’s preparation also found the community overwhelmingly objected to the Woodman Point beach being accessible to dogs, due to concerns for the area’s shorebirds. A proposal for the beach to be accessible to dogs was also rejected by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, Birdlife Australia, the Conservation Council of WA, Native ARC Inc, the Department of Local Government, Sport & Cultural Industries, and the Woodman Point Regional Park Community Advisory Committee.

  • A Case Study of Public Participation in the Management of a Contaminated Site in Western Australia
    Faculty of Humanities Curtin University Sustainable Policy Unit Citizens contesting science: a case study of public participation in the management of a contaminated site in Western Australia Kelly Elizabeth Duckworth A thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University February 2016 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: Date: February 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis addresses the problem of involving citizens in regulatory debates rich in the discourse of science. Through a detailed case study of the ANI-Bradken site redevelopment project, the public participatory practices within Western Australian environmental regulatory processes are scrutinised. From the perspective of a community group (the South Fremantle/Hamilton Hill Residents’ Association Inc.) contesting the redevelopment, the thesis examines the barriers to effective public participation using a theoretical framework developed within the sociology of scientific knowledge. The case study of the thesis documents the community group’s attempts to debate critical safety issues associated with a contaminated site redevelopment project near Fremantle, Western Australia (WA). The study draws attention to the influential role of scientific knowledge in environmental management and, specifically, in the management of contaminated sites. It also clarifies how, and why, regulatory authorities utilise scientific knowledge to influence the public participatory processes. The thesis argues that the regulatory application of scientific knowledge influences public participatory processes through two mechanisms.
