This report is presented tothe Minister for Planning and Infrastructure and to the Governor for approval. BothHouses of Parliament must then scrutinise the amendment before it can takelegal effect.

O Ms Verity Allan (chair) MemberoftheMetropolitanRegion Planning Committee O Mr Richard Graham Chairpersonof the South West DistrictPlanning Committee O Ms Susan Kreemer-PickfordIndependent Transport Engineer All people or groups who made written submissions were invited to verbally present to the Hearings Committee. Presentations could be made either publicly or in private. The Hearings Committee met to receive verbal presentations on 5 October 2005. Eleven people (or groups) elected to make a verbal presentation to the Hearings Committee. 5 Main issues in the amendment and raised in submissions 5.1 Canning highway as an activity corridor In Network City, an Activity Corridor is defined along Canning Highway.The Activity Corridor concept is not clearly articulated in the Perth context, however this section attempts to develop the concept well enough for reasonably clear judgement in respect of Canning Highway. Each Activity Corridor may be unique. Principles developed and used for Canning Highway in this amendment are not necessarily transferable to other Activity Corridors. Canning Highway is defined as an Activity Corridor within Network City. This means that it is to be developed as a place that accommodates all modes of transport and allows for a mix of land uses that maximises the community's access to a variety of services and facilities, whilst minimising need for car travel.This isin order to ensure the creation of active, vibrant, safe and sustainable neighbourhoods. As an Activity Corridor, Canning Highway will comprise several activity centres that will feature a concentrated mix of land uses and public transport facilities catered to the needs of the local population within an area covered approximately by an 800m radius from public transport stops. These activity centres are intended to become the focal points of the local communities by becoming places where local services are concentrated and at which public transport interchange occurs.
