Environment and Liveability Framework update

Planning for the City of Bayswater’s Environment and Liveability Framework is well underway.

Comprising of eight local volunteers with significant professional experience and qualifications in their fields, the group held their initial meeting at the beginning of this month.

City of Bayswater Mayor Dan Bull said the team have worked closely with Curtin University throughout the past month, devising a list of key issues they believe our City will be facing into the next 25 years.

“Our community have told us they want us to focus on supporting infrastructure, and creating quality green spaces and more desirable streetscapes and buildings - with an emphasis on sustainability and innovation. We need to be embedding sustainability into everything we do, ensuring our built and natural environments are designed to work together.

“In selecting volunteers who are not only specialists in their fields, but also live locally, we aim to achieve a vital balance of technical knowledge, paired with a genuine, firsthand understanding of the needs and aspirations of our community.

“This unique approach aims to ensure the City’s projects take a more strategic approach, setting us up to achieve these goals as we build into the future.

“As our next step, we will be bringing the findings of the past month to the wider community, through a consultation with the City’s Community Engagement Panel, we aim to gain an understanding of the values and priorities of the very people who will be seeing that future out with us.”
