Kwinana Major Events

A community engagement hub to create the Kwinana we all love. Join now and have your say to help shape our City's future

Welcome to the City of Kwinana&#39;s Council PlanThe Strategic Community Plan is the City&rsquo;s guiding strategic document and represents our community&rsquo;s long-term vision, values, aspirations and priorities and what we will do to achieve them. This document drives the City&rsquo;s budgeting, planning, resource allocations and service delivery, in order to focus our efforts and align our activities to achieve our community&rsquo;s vision. To ensure that the community&rsquo;s changing aspirations are reflected, a minor review of the plan is undertaken every two years, and a major review every four years. We are currently commencing our major review, which is expected to be adopted in June 2025. The State Government is reforming the Local Government Act 1995, reforms are aimed at ensuring local governments better serve residents and ratepayers. By simplifying the framework local governments can better focus their resources towards service delivery instead of extensive planning.Proposed changes include the introduction of a Council Plan, which will replace some of the City&rsquo;s existing key plans. It is expected that the Regulations will be approved and published mid this year, with Councils being required to have implementation completed by June 2026.Our Council Plan, like our current Strategic Community Plan will outline the community&#39;s strategic priorities, vision, and desired outcomes for the next 10 years, offering a cohesive and collaborative roadmap for the City&#39;s four-year delivery program of actions. Share your view We&#39;re eager to hear about your visions for the City in 30 years, as Kwinana heads towards one hundred. Your input is key to shaping our future, please take a moment to share your views below and make sure your voice counts in building the tomorrow we all dream of.We extend to you a special invitation to participate in the creation of a digital time capsule. As we plan for the future of our City, we believe it&#39;s essential to hear from you, the community. To complement our engagement efforts, we&#39;re launching a project to showcase the essence of Kwinana.We encourage residents to submit photographs showcasing what they love about Kwinana or its people. These images will be compiled to form a mosaic, painting a vivid picture of our community. Additionally, this mosaic will serve as a living memory, contributing to a time capsule as we approach a significant milestone in our City&#39;s history.We look forward to your contributions in shaping our future!<a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://musemosaic.com/mosaic/HeadingTowardsOneHundred" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Check out the captivating online mosaic now.</a>If you have questions please contact Alicia Mangalavite on 9439 0265 or email <a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:alicia.mangalavite@kwinana.wa.gov.au">alicia.mangalavite@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a>.

Welcome to the City of Kwinana&#39;s Council PlanWe&#39;re eager to hear about your visions for the City in 30 years, as Kwinana heads towards one hundred. Your input is key to shaping our future, please take a moment to share your views below and make sure your voice counts in building the tomorrow we all dream of.The Strategic Community Plan is the City&rsquo;s guiding strategic document and represents our community&rsquo;s long-term vision, values, aspirations and priorities and what we will do to achieve them. This document drives the City&rsquo;s budgeting, planning, resource allocations and service delivery, in order to focus our efforts and align our activities to achieve our community&rsquo;s vision. To ensure that the community&rsquo;s changing aspirations are reflected, a minor review of the plan is undertaken every two years, and a major review every four years. We are currently commencing our major review, which is expected to be adopted in June 2025. The State Government is reforming the Local Government Act 1995, reforms are aimed at ensuring local governments better serve residents and ratepayers. By simplifying the framework local governments can better focus their resources towards service delivery instead of extensive planning.Proposed changes include the introduction of a Council Plan, which will replace some of the City&rsquo;s existing key plans. It is expected that the Regulations will be approved and published mid this year, with Councils being required to have implementation completed by June 2026.Our Council Plan, like our current Strategic Community Plan will outline the community&#39;s strategic priorities, vision, and desired outcomes for the future, offering a cohesive and collaborative roadmap for the City&#39;s four-year delivery program of actions.Community Perceptions SurveyThe community will have the opportunity to participate in the Community Scorecard and Wellbeing Scorecard, the focus of these is about you and your rating of services and facilities in your local area as well as telling us about your needs so we can ensure that we understand and meet community wellbeing priorities.Take the next step: complete your <a href="https://catalyse.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2tmDQmuco0FsVEy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Community Perceptions Survey.</a> Please check out your Rates Notices, the City&#39;s socials soon and take the opportunity to share your views.If you have questions please contact Alicia Mangalavite on 9439 0265 or email <a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:alicia.mangalavite@kwinana.wa.gov.au">alicia.mangalavite@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a>.

The City of Kwinana is home to many people from diverse cultures with a wealth of cultural knowledge and skills that enhance and strengthen our community.Kwinana is predicted to rapidly increase the size of its multicultural communities in the coming years as our population grows and the City develops.The 2021 Census showed just how culturally diverse the City has become with 39.6% of residents being born overseas in countries such as England, Philippines, New Zealand and India. It also showed that the top three non-English languages spoken in Kwinana are Tagalog, Punjabi and Filipino, and that 24.5% of households use a non-English language.<h2>NEW Multicultural Advisory Group</h2>In 2024 we will establish a new Multicultural Advisory Group with community members willing to take action and make things happen in Kwinana.The aim is to gather an inter-generational group of young people, adults and elders from across the City and from diverse cultural backgrounds to work together and highlight the strengths of cultural diversity.The Group is open to anyone who lives, works or studies in Kwinana aged 15+ years from a culturally diverse background.Applications for the 2024 Multicultural Advisory Group have now closed.<h2>Questions?</h2>If you have any questions or need more information please contact the Community Development Officer - Capacity Building:Phone: (08) 9236 4561Work Mobile: 0409 856 497Email: <a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:community@kwinana.wa.gov.au">community@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a>

The City recognises the social model of disability. From this perspective, the way to address disability is to change the environment and society, rather than people with disabilities.

The City is committed to actively promoting environments and services in which all people are valued and have the choices to live their best lives. <ul><li>The City of Kwinana employs a Community Development Officer - Inclusion and Healthy Ageing who works with City directorates and the community to ensure events, services, City facilities, and information are as accessible and inclusive as possible. The Diversity Officer also facilitates the Access and Inclusion Reference Group and can be contacted on (08) 9439 0200.</li></ul> <ul><li>The City has established an Access and Inclusion Reference Group (AIRG) to provide advice to the City on matters related to access and inclusion and to support the development, implementation, review and evaluation of various strategies, plans, services and other initiatives.</li></ul> <ul><li>The City has developed a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) guided by The Western Australian Disability Services Act 1993 (Amended 2004). The Act requires all Local Governments to develop and implement a DAIP. This helps ensure that people with disability have equal access to facilities, services and employment opportunities.

Any components that are no longer fit for use are recycled.How does a playground renewal differ from an upgrade? A playground upgrade may consider increasing the size of the existing playground, adding additional areas or increasing the scope. A playground renewal, as we are doing here, is replacing the existing equipment with something similar.

The City of Kwinana is seeking comment on the Casuarina Central Structure Plan (SP) amendment that has been lodged with the City for assessment.The Casuarina Central Precinct SP (SPN 2235) was initially approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) on 11 May 2021. This proposed amendment to the SP (&lsquo;Amendment 1&rsquo;) represents an extension of the existing SP area (referred to as the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo;), in addition to minor consequential modifications to land within the existing SP area. The proposed modifications to both the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; and Existing SP Area are summarised as follows:<ol><li>Expansion Area: Expansion of Structure Plan Area to include Lots 1, 2, 23, 24 and portion of Lot 25 Orton Road, Casuarina and designation of land as &lsquo;Residential&rsquo;, &lsquo;Special Use&rsquo;, &lsquo;Parks, Recreation and Drainage&rsquo; and &lsquo;Public Purpose&rsquo;.</li><li>Existing SP Area: Modification to road classification and increase in road reservation width of &lsquo;Major Access Street&rsquo; (18m reserve) west of Primary School and playing fields to a &lsquo;Neighbourhood Connector&rsquo; (25m reserve).</li><li>Existing SP Area: Modification to Landgren Road intersection treatments and classification from &lsquo;Neighbourhood Connector&rsquo; to &lsquo;Major Access Street&rsquo; and removal of any road widening requirement consequently.</li><li>Existing SP Area: Change in land use designation of Local Centre site to Residential (R40-R60). Amendment 1</li></ol>&lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo;The &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; represents an area of land 21.93 hectares (ha) located between the approved Casuarina Central SP and the Casuarina North SP. Prior to subdivision or development of the land, an approved structure plan is required.As such, this amendment seeks to expand the approved Central SP area to encompass this land.Local structure planning for the inclusion of the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; has had due regard to district level planning for the Casuarina Urban Cell, including the need to accommodate district hard courts adjacent to the proposed senior planning fields and allow a key north-south Neighbourhood Connector through the Casuarina Cell to support consolidated urban development. Due regard has also been given to coordination of infrastructure between the northern and central precincts through the provision of land for a waste water pump station (WWPS) to service both precincts.The amendment for the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; establishes a set of land use, development and subdivision requirements to guide the form of development that is consistent with the accepted urban design principles of the approved SP and has clear regard for the identified issues and opportunities that affect the &lsquo;Extension Area&rsquo;. Proposed land use designations and reservations within the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; include:<ul><li>The existing Costa Mushroom Farm on Lot 1 has been designated as &ldquo;Special Use&rdquo; with a proposed permissible land use of Mushroom Production Facility and to allow an incidental office.</li><li>The western portion of Lot 2 has been designated as &ldquo;Parks, Recreation and Drainage&rdquo; and has a Power Easement notation over the area to support the protection of the Western Power easement.</li><li>A portion of Lot 2 is designated for &ldquo;Public Purpose &ndash; Water Supply Sewerage and Drainage&rdquo; to allow a sewer pump station to support the Casuarina North and Casuarina Central cells.</li><li>The remainder of Lot 2 and the entire Lot 23 Orton Road have been designated as &ldquo;Residential&rdquo; with a proposed density coding range of R25-R40.</li><li>Lot 24 and a portion of Lot 25 Orton Road are designated as &ldquo;Parks, Recreation and Drainage&rdquo; and will accommodate the District Sporting Ground and support the retention of the resource enhancement wetland (REW) on the land including the provision of a 30m buffer around the REW.</li></ul>Existing SP AreaAs a result of detailed planning to include the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; within the overall Casuarina Central Precinct SP, minor consequential modifications were required to be undertaken to the approved SP.Further investigations of the district movement network associated with the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo; have identified the need to shift the alignment of the neighbourhood connector further west from Landgren Road to a more central location to improve opportunities to coordinate and implement a connection between Thomas and Mortimer Roads. Accordingly, modification to the road classification, intersection treatments and road reservation width from west of Primary School and playing fields from a &lsquo;Major Access Street&rsquo; (18m reserve) to a &lsquo;Neighbourhood Connector&rsquo; (25m reserve) is proposed under this Amendment. As a result of these changes to the district movement network, there is the need to downgrade the classification of Landgren Road to a &lsquo;major access street&rsquo;.In conjunction with this planning, a retail needs assessment also identified that the planned Casuarina Central Local Centre is not expected to be commercially viable in either the short term or longer term and should be removed from the Structure Plan area. Accordingly, the Local Centre is proposed to be removed from the SP area and replaced with Residential, with the density of the lots designated as R40-R60 to align with the surrounding R40-R60 density coding adjacent to the future primary school.No other changes to residential density designations, Public Open Space (POS), School Sites or Service Commercial areas are proposed within the existing SP area.Technical AppendicesTechnical reports relating to the environment, bushfire, odour, transport, landscaping, urban water management and servicing have been prepared as addendums to the original approved technical reports for the &lsquo;Expansion Area&rsquo;. Minor modifications to the original technical reports prepared in support of the approved Casuarina Central Precinct SP have also been undertaken to ensure alignment with the proposed modifications for the &lsquo;Existing SP Area&rsquo;.Submissions Submissions on the proposed Casuarina Central Structure Plan amendment may be made using the Submission Form before 27th February 2024. Alternatively submissions may be emailed to Planning.Team@kwinana.wa.gov.au or can be made in writing and posted to City of Kwinana, PO Box 21, Kwinana WA 6966 Consideration by Council The proposed amendment to Casuarina Central Structure Plan was considered by Council on Wednesday 22nd May 2024. Please use the link below to see the Report and the minutes (item 17.2).

This year&rsquo;s annual Love My Kwinana Photo Competition opened on Monday 4th September and closed Friday 22nd September.The theme for this year was Djilba Bonar (Djilba season). In the Nyoongar six seasons, Djilba is known as the second winter but is also the start of the explosion of flowers in the State&rsquo;s South West, so this year&rsquo;s collection of images exhibited at the Darius Wells Library and Resource Centre is filled with colour and nature.We would like to congratulate our category winners including Yashraj Singh for his image of a flowering tree submitted for the child category; Abbey Holland for her image taken in Parmelia for the youth category; and Aaron Brown as the adult category winner for his photo which the judges said showed amazing use of a blur technique called bokeh to separate the cockatoo from the tree textures.The judging panel also gave commendations to six more people including Thor Reye and Olive Watson for the child category; Jahli Waller-Roberts and Kody Roberts for the youth category; and David Schaller and Nola Hindley for the adult category.All entries were exhibited in the Carol Adams lounge at Darius Wells Community Resource and Library Centre and were displayed until 29 October.

Apex Rotary Park Upgrade

Sandringham Park is getting an upgrade and the playground equipment is being replaced. We do have an urgent matter though, and need to pull out the yellow roofed play equipment on Friday, 9 June. The reason is that the soft fall is breaking down and is no longer safe. The other play equipment station will be left for children to play on until we have completed the community engagement and are ready to install all the new equipment.The Basket Swing will be staying. Sadly though, the Basket Swing has been stolen and is currently out of action. An order has been put in to replace the basket and we have been told there is a wait time of up to 12-16 weeks for it to be delivered. As soon as it arrives, we will install it for you.For us to make sure we get the best outcome for the park, we would like to chat to you about how you use the park and hear your ideas for the type of playground equipment to replace the current ones. We have two ways to collect your feedback; an online survey which you can find under the Tools bar below and three Pop Up engagement sessions in June:Pop Up engagement sessions -1. Monday 12 June, 3.00pm -5.00pm Big Games, Bubbles, Face Painting, Coffee Van2. Saturday 17 June, 10.00am -12noon Big Games, Bubbles, Face Painting, Plant a Pot, Coffee Van3. Tuesday 20 June, 9.30am - 11.30am Craft, Bubbles, Face Painting, Coffee VanOnce we have all your feedback from the survey and pop up sessions, our inhouse Landscape Architect will draw up the concept design plan. We will then loop back to you by having another pop up session in the park and by email to see if we have captured everything before the final design is completed.As a local neighborhood park, we have an allocated budget and need to stay within this, so things like toilets and adventure elements will be out of reach. However, we do have enough funds to add value to your local park by replacing existing play equipment to make it relevant, fun and safe.NOTE - The Survey has now closed. Please see the responses from the survey in the News Feed below. If you have any ideas or questions please contact Jenny (contact details are in the right hand column under &#39;Whos Listening &#39;

We had a workshop on Thursday 27 April to discuss how we can build a more welcoming and inclusive Kwinana. These are the ideas that came out of the workshops. Feel free to add your own ideas or contribute to existing ideas. And if you are keen to get involved please contact Gemma by phone or email.

Building a Welcoming and Inclusive Kwinana

At the City of Kwinana, we believe that the health and well-being of our community is paramount. Health is influenced by the interconnectedness of our social, cultural, economic, and built and natural environments. It is in these environments, and in partnership with the community and other agencies that we can build and maintain outcomes of positive health and wellbeing.What we have done so far:In 2019, we started out by crunching some numbers about the current health and well-being of Kwinana, and with our partners developed a <a href="https://rkpg.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/HSPs/SMHS/Corporate/Files/Hlth-prom/Kwinana-health-wellbeing-profile.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Health and Wellbeing Profile</a> for the City. Here is a snapshot of what we found: <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/af95f8579d4761ff7bfc4833d8d460a391101ead/original/1643249542/397ebf7a8202ee38ea71b086c0ade8e4_health_profile_snapshot.png?1643249542" style="width: 703px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil">We then consulted with City staff, Elected Members, key stakeholders, and members of our community. They all helped identify key public health risks, priorities that could be addressed in the new Public Health Plan, and things that the City could do to improve health and wellbeing. As a result of this analysis and consultation, we identified the following key action areas:<img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/879b79e62146864493bf87dcc89d49d5654997b7/original/1643263112/d418bc0346163ccd634be33f4917a938_Pink_Blue_Funky_Photo_Table_of_Contents.png?1643263112" style="width: 693px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil">All of these have been highlighted in our<a href="https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/publichealthplan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Public Health Plan 2019-2023</a>, which is a strategic document to guide its health and well-being related advancements.What&#39;s happening now:The City is presently delivering a range of Healthy Lifestyle initiatives, with a focus on offering free physical activity programs for the Kwinana community. Some examples include: 1. Outdoor Fitness for over 50&#39;s2. Community Yoga4. Dance-based Fitness5. Kwinana Mums Who Move6. Promoting walking, cycling, and scooting.

The City of Kwinana, in December 2022, hosted an end of year celebration for local community organisations. As a result of new connections made, along with the relationships built from the Kwinana Local Recovery Network, attendees and the City felt that coming together as a collaborative group will continue to improve the outcomes for our community.As such, the Community Services and Partnerships Department invites all service providers, community and social services within the City of Kwinana to join the Community Services Working Group (CSWG) in 2023.The CSWG is an informal network and aims to build relationships across the community services sector and the City of Kwinana , to promote information-sharing, identification of gaps, and the celebration of successes of services across the region. This will be a great platform to share learnings, updates and data, enabling us to identify areas of improvement, and funding opportunities impacting the sector.Through this collaborative effort, the City of Kwinana can identify how best to support community organisations, and advocate for more services to be delivered locally.The CSWG will provide all organisations;<ul type="disc"><li>Better communications with stakeholders</li><li>Access to broader networks</li><li>Ability to promote services operating within Kwinana</li><li>Stronger advocacy for the region</li><li>Break down of silos</li><li>Provide updates and sharing of information</li><li>Provide a solution-focused environment</li><li>Identify funding opportunities with support services</li></ul>By building and strengthening relationships across the sector, the CSWG will provide an opportunity to promote services and organisations within the region, ensuring we collectively provide better services and support to the Kwinana community.The CSWG will also provide the City of Kwinana the opportunity to recognise and identify areas we can support the Not-For-Profit sector to reach more of the community, while advocating for more services and funding.Please complete a short <a href="https://www.lovemykwinana.com/embeds/projects/82869/survey-tools/89276" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Expression of Interest form</a> below to get involved.

<h3>For an update and the proposed Pump Track Design please see the latest News Feed Tab below.</h3><h3> </h3><h3>Background:</h3>A group of Wandi residents recently raised some concerns with the City of Kwinana around the lack of activities or infrastructure for youth in Wandi/Honeywood. The initial request was for a pump track, or similar skate/bike infrastructure, to be built.There had also been some dirt jumps constructed by young people in a bush area, which the City unfortunately had to clear due to <a href="https://www.dbca.wa.gov.au/parks-and-wildlife-service/threat-management/plant-diseases/phytophthora-dieback#:~:text=Phytophthora%20dieback%20(dieback)%20is%20a,probably%20on%20infected%20horticultural%20plants." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dieback</a><a href="https://www.dbca.wa.gov.au/parks-and-wildlife-service/threat-management/plant-diseases/phytophthora-dieback#:~:text=Phytophthora%20dieback%20(dieback)%20is%20a,probably%20on%20infected%20horticultural%20plants." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> being prominent in that space.On Tuesday 29 November, 2022, City staff met with a group of around 20 residents at the Honeywood Oval to discuss ideas about youth activities in the area.<h3>Discussion:</h3>Many great ideas were raised by residents, which have been captured on the ideas board below, <a href="https://www.lovemykwinana.com/wandi-honeywood-teenager-activities/brainstormers/ideas-for-youth-activities">be sure to add your ideas too!</a> There were suggestions around pump tracks, skate facilities, dirt jumps, trails etc. and also other sporting equipment like 1-1 basketball courts.<h3>Outcomes:</h3>While it is not possible at this stage to commit to hard infrastructure, the City officers are working with the community on the following:<ul><li>Transport options to attend January 2023 School Holiday Programs at The Edge Skatepark (pick up and drop off, from Honeywood Pavilion, advanced registration is required, more details in the News Feed below).</li><li>Investigate hosting youth programs in Wandi.</li><li>Engaging with local youth to identify and explore longer term options for infrastructure in the area.</li></ul>To keep up to date with news on this topic and activities available for young people, please subscribe to follow this page. We will post items in the news feed once details become available for programs and activities.

I&#39;m sure you&#39;ve seen lime green bins showing up around that State, but do you know what they&#39;re for?Lime green lidded bins are bins specifically created to collect organic waste - Garden Organics (GO) or Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) Why are these bins appearing?The National and State government have made commitments to work toward a more sustainable future with net zero carbon emissions, creating a State <a href="https://www.wasteauthority.wa.gov.au/images/resources/files/Strategic_Direction_Waste_Avoidance_and_Resource_Recovery_Strategy_2030.pdf">Waste Avoidance and Recourse Recovery Strategy 2030</a>. One of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions (and other nasty emissions such as methane, which is 25 times more potent) is organic waste in landfills. Methane and carbon dioxide makes up 90 to 98% of landfill gas. The City is currently investigating options to recover organic waste, turning it into compost, diverting it away from landfill. <table style="width: 100%;"><thead><tr><th style="width: 12.1265%;">System </th><th style="width: 27.0461%;">2-Bin System (Current System) </th><th style="width: 31.5724%;">3-Bin GO System </th><th style="width: 29.1018%;">3-Bin <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQqdaNCIiSY">FOGO</a> System </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td rowspan="3" style="width: 12.1265%;">Bins</td><td style="width: 27.0461%;">1 x Red Lidded 240L Bin Collected once a week</td><td style="width: 31.5724%;">1 x x Red Lidded 140L or 240L Bin Collected once a week</td><td style="width: 29.1018%;">1 x x Red Lidded 140L or 240L Bin Collected once a fortnight </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 27.0461%;">1 x Yellow Lidded 240L or 360L Bin Collected once a fortnight</td><td style="width: 31.5724%;">1 x Yellow Lidded 240L or 360L Bin Collected once a fortnight </td><td style="width: 29.1018%;">1 X Yellow Lidded 240L or 360L Bin Collected once a fortnight </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 27.0461%;"> </td><td style="width: 31.5724%;">1 x Lime Green Lidded 240L Bin Collected once a fortnight</td><td style="width: 29.1018%;">1 x Lime Green Lidded 240L Bin Collected once a week </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 12.1265%;">Waste Diverted from Landfill</td><td style="width: 27.0461%;">Diverts 25% of waste from landfill</td><td style="width: 31.5724%;">Diverts 40-50% of waste from landfill </td><td style="width: 29.1018%;">Diverts 45-65% of waste from landfill </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 12.1265%;">Benefits</td><td style="width: 27.0461%;">No change from current system</td><td style="width: 31.5724%;">Diverts more waste from landfill Saves garden material from being wasted Creates compost from waste Creates local jobs</td><td style="width: 29.1018%;">Diverts the most waste from landfill Aligns with the State Waste Strategy Saves garden material from being wasted Creates compost from waste Creates local jobs</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 12.1265%;">Negatives</td><td style="width: 27.0461%;">Does not align with State Waste Strategy Waste beneficial material </td><td style="width: 31.5724%;">Additional bin Slight increase in annual Waste Service Charge ($10-$30)</td><td style="width: 29.1018%;">Additional bin Increase in annual Waste Service Charge ($50-$90) </td></tr></tbody></table> The City wants the residents of Kwinana to help us decide if we transition from a 2-Bin System to either 3-Bin System (Go or FOGO).The introduction of a third bin system will be at a cost.

Local Planning Policies are adopted under the local planning scheme and provide guidance for land use and development within the City.Newly drafted Planning Policies and amended Planning Policies are advertised for public comment in accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015. Planning policies currently open for public comment are listed below.The City&#39;s adopted Planning Policies can be found on our <a class="fr-strong" href="https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/business-and-development/projects-and-city-planning/local-planning-scheme-(lps)-and-policies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Schemes and Policies page.</a>

Local Planning Policies 

All scheme amendments open for comment are listed below.Occasionally, it is necessary to amend the City&rsquo;s Local Planning Scheme. When a change is proposed to the Local Planning Scheme, it is referred to as a Scheme Amendment. A Scheme Amendment can be proposed by landowners, the City itself or State Government agencies.Scheme Amendments occur for a variety of reasons including:<ul><li>To implement the strategic vision of the Local Planning Strategy</li><li>To ensure orderly and proper planning.</li><li>A change in the Scheme&rsquo;s wording to ensure more effective planning</li><li>A change in zoning</li><li>A change in the residential density coding</li></ul>There are three types of Scheme Amendments; Basic, Standard and Complex as defined in the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015. Basic Scheme Amendments do not require advertising and are therefore not open for comment, whereas Standard Scheme Amendments are advertised and open for comment for 42 days and Complex Scheme Amendments for 60 days.All comments and submissions are taken into consideration by the City&#39;s Planning Officers, and issues raised through submissions are required to be addressed as part of the planning assessment of a proposed Scheme Amendment. City Planning Officers will prepare their assessment and report to Council with a recommendation on the applicable scheme amendment, taking into account issues raised from submissions, alongside all other relevant planning considerations. The Council will then forward its recommendation to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and the Minister for their consideration of the Scheme Amendment.By submitting your comments through this webpage, the City will be able to keep you informed of a Scheme Amendments progress as it moves through the amendment process.Any comments with respect to Scheme Amendments should be submitted via one of the following ways:<ul><li>through the relevant online feedback form (below)</li><li>by email to <a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:planning@kwinana.wa.gov.au">Planning.Team@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a></li><li>by mail addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, City of Kwinana, PO Box 21, Kwinana WA 6966</li></ul>
