Shape Baysie 2024 - Major Review Strategic Community Plan

Get involved to Help Shape the Future of our City

What is the Strategic Community Plan?

The Strategic Community Plan (SCP) is the framework that guides everything we do at the City of Bayswater and ensures decision making is in line with community vision and priorities. For more information about the review see the FAQs. To view the City's current Strategic Community Plan click here.

Community engagement (visioning) is the first step in the SCP major review process, and will be undertaken in a number of phases. This approach allows us to build our knowledge and deepen our understanding as we move through the project.

How to get involved

In Phase 1: Broad Community & Business Engagement. We are asking two main questions to understand what sort of place you want the City of Bayswater to be and what you think we should be focusing on over the next 10 years. You can take part in the following ways.

Online: Complete the short survey below.

Hard copy:

• Available at the City's three libraries and at the Civic Centre.
• Come and chat to us at a number of City events. See locations and times in the menu to the right.
• If you are participating in a City program, workshop or are coming along to a City celebration during March and April you will have the opportunity to answer the two questions on a postcard at the event.

Please note that submissions close on 29 April 2024.

What's next

• Phase 2: Focused Engagement (May - June 2024)
  • This will consist of a number of focus groups and business interviews to take a deeper dive into the outcomes from the broad engagement.
• Phase 3: Community and Business Survey (June-July 2024)
  • This will consist of a survey to check back in with the Community and with Businesses to ensure that we have listened to and understood input. It will provide the chance for the community and business to tell us what is most important, and what their priorities are for the coming 10 years.
