Social Infrastructure Strategy

Consultation has concluded

Share your thoughts on the Town's new Social Infrastructure Strategy, which outlines how existing facilities and key strategic developments will continue to support the needs of a population projected to more than double by 2050.

Social infrastructure includes the facilities, spaces, programs, services and networks that maintain and improve the quality of life in a community and plays a key role in encouraging people to live in or visit an area.

The goal of the draft Strategy is to ensure residents have access to safe and welcoming social infrastructure spaces that support a diverse range of activities.

The draft Strategy identifies the Macmillan Precinct (made up of the Victoria Park Library and Leisurelife) as the primary social infrastructure hub for the Town, with the Lathlain and Aqualife/Oats Street areas serving as complementary neighbourhood level hubs.

Planning for social infrastructure on the Burswood Peninsula and the Bentley-Curtin Specialised Activity Centre will support future community growth in these areas.

Under the draft strategy, a total of 70 initiatives are recommended for implementation over the next decade. The final recommendations and priorities will be shaped by feedback from the local community and other stakeholders.

The draft Social Infrastructure Strategy is available to view from the document library here and will be available for comment until Friday 7 January 2022.
