Welcome to the City of Kwinana's Council Plan
The Strategic Community Plan is the City’s guiding strategic document and represents our community’s long-term vision, values, aspirations and priorities and what we will do to achieve them. This document drives the City’s budgeting, planning, resource allocations and service delivery, in order to focus our efforts and align our activities to achieve our community’s vision.To ensure that the community’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’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's strategic priorities, vision, and desired outcomes for the next 10 years, offering a cohesive and collaborative roadmap for the City's four-year delivery program of actions. Share your viewWe'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's essential to hear from you, the community. To complement our engagement efforts, we'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's history.We look forward to your contributions in shaping our future!Check out the captivating online mosaic now.If you have questions please contact Alicia Mangalavite on 9439 0265 or email alicia.mangalavite@kwinana.wa.gov.au.

Upskill Your Way 

Thank you for your valuable contribution to the Safety Upgrades to Christmas Avenue project, we appreciate your feedback and insights. The project is officially closed to new submissions, and we are in the process of reviewing all received feedback.We will keep you updated on the progress and outcomes of the review process. Thank you once again for your involvement! We&rsquo;re reaching out to gather your feedback on a proposal to improve road safety on Christmas Avenue, between Gilmore Avenue and Orelia Avenue, Orelia. As part of our ongoing efforts to make our community safer and more liveable, we&rsquo;d love to hear your thoughts! Background We&rsquo;ve assessed Christmas Avenue in response to concerns raised by the local community. Traffic surveys show that vehicles are travelling at speeds of up to 60 km/h (the posted limit is 50 km/h), and there&rsquo;s a noticeable amount of &ldquo;rat-running,&rdquo; where drivers use Christmas Avenue to avoid busier intersections. This road also plays a key role for cyclists and children walking to local schools and Orelia Park. What&rsquo;s Being Proposed: We&rsquo;re proposing to install Speed humps along Christmas Avenue. These low-profile, Watts profile safety platforms are designed to:<ul type="disc"><li>Reduce vehicle speeds and accidents.</li><li>Be cost-effective to install and maintain.</li><li>Help reduce traffic volumes and discourage through traffic.</li><li>Provide a visual cue for drivers to slow down and adjust to a safer driving environment.</li></ul> <div class="fr-img-space-wrap"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/cda894302e777d3d9a5bb9c4eb1d4c1cf9d07975/original/1733439404/2cffc9dc5edd81f20ce2d3d63d1a9d4e_watts_profile_speed_hump.png?1733439404">An example of the proposed Speed humps, Watts Profile Safety Platforms </div>The speed humps will provide smoother transitions, reduce noise, improve emergency vehicle access, and enhance drainage. While they may add a minute or two to your travel time, the safety benefits for everyone&mdash;drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists&mdash;are well worth it. We invite residents to complete their feedback below by 4pm Monday 23 December 2024 We understand that changes like this can raise questions, and we&rsquo;re here to address any concerns you might have. Our goal is to work together with the community to make the best decisions for everyone&rsquo;s safety and well-being. Written comments will be accepted until 4pm Monday 23 December 2024. Alternatively, you can reach us by:<ul type="disc"><li>Phone: (08) 9439 0200</li><li>Email: <a href="mailto:customer@kwinana.wa.gov.au">customer@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a></li></ul> Thank you for taking the time to consider this important matter. We look forward to hearing from you!

Zone Programs Term 4 2024

Thank you for your valuable contribution to the Safety Upgrades to Marri Park project, we appreciate your feedback and insights.The project is officially closed to new submissions, and we are in the process of reviewing all received feedback.We will keep you updated on the progress and outcomes of the review process.Thank you once again for your involvement! The City of Kwinana seeks your feedback on additional safety measures along Marri Park Drive. Marri Park Drive has been a hotspot for hooning and speeding for an extended period, resulting in multiple runoff crashes. While speeding and hooning are primarily law enforcement issues, the City is committed to enhancing road safety for both locals and road users. After thorough investigations, traffic calming measures have been identified as an effective solution to curb these dangerous behaviours. BackgroundThere has been a long history of community requests to install traffic calming on this road to reduce traffic speeds and improve safety. Previously, the City has already implemented centre and edge line markings to narrow the lane width and enhance delineation, which has shown some success in reducing speeds. However, these measures alone are insufficient to deter hooning behaviour. Implementing additional traffic calming measures is necessary to ensure the safety of all road users on Marri Park Drive. The City has secured Black Spot funding from Main Roads WA to help fund the design and construction of traffic calming measures along Marri Park Drive. The Black Spot projects identify road locations where crashes are /or unsafe driving behaviour is occurring or at risk of occurring. Share your experienceIt is important that the people that live and work in these areas can share their experience in relation to traffic issues in their local neighbourhood. We want to insert this knowledge in the design process, to create traffic plans to address local issues. We invite residents to complete their feedback below by Friday 1st November 2024 and to choose from the options below: Option 1: Horizontal Deflection &ndash; Slow Points / Modified IntersectionAdvantages:<ul style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-top:0cm;" type="disc"><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Reduces vehicle speeds at the device location and, when used in series, along the entire street.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Significantly lowers the number of road crashes.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Provides opportunities for landscaping enhancements.</li></ul><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/34df5c9d66c3727ff2e63062133c36240095cf88/original/1726213287/7d8cf6274fc89bd41f614a96f80bcd27_Horizontal_Deflection_-_slow_points_Mod_intersection.png?1726213287" style="width: 551px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-bordered fr-rounded"> Option 2: Vertical Devices &ndash; Speed Humps/Speed PlateausAdvantages:<ul style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-top:0cm;" type="disc"><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Dramatically decreases vehicle speeds and crashes.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Cost-effective to install and maintain.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>May reduce traffic volumes due to slower speeds and increased travel times.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Potentially discourages through traffic.</li></ul> <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/82fec9f1777ad8e7e363e5e52a48247ee5ad5ee0/original/1726213317/771537b5b52381b6dbad45bd997a7964_opt_2_vertical_devices__speed_humps_speed_plateaus.png?1726213317" style="width: 587px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-bordered fr-rounded"> Option 3: No further changes implemented for the next 2-5 yearsThe City has already implemented centre and edge line markings to narrow the lane width, which has shown some success in reducing speeds.

The Gilmore Avenue Shared Path Project (Stage 2) is complete and we want to hear from you.The three-metre wide shared path along Gilmore Avenue, which now extends from Thomas Road to Wellard Road, aims to better connect the community and support active travel. The project has been jointly funded by the City of Kwinana and the State Government as part of the WA Bicycle Network Grants Program.The City recognises the benefits of replacing short car trips with more active modes of travel, such as walking, wheeling, riding or taking public transport. Beyond the positive impact on individual health and wellbeing, active travel contributes to reduced traffic congestion and less pollution, fostering a cleaner and more enjoyable environment.Please submit your ideas on what would encourage you to use the path more or what would stop you from using the path. We would also like to hear what ideas you have for future shared paths around the City of Kwinana.

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 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.

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;
