What is a Stakeholder Reference Group?
A Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) is a group of community representatives that are nominated to a part of a process in developing an outcome and/or set of recommendations for a wider project.
An expression of interest process to be a member of the SRG for the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor Precinct ran in June 2021. Over 30 people applied to be considered for selection.
The SRG will meet regularly between July and December 2021 to discuss and help determine the future vision and built form preferences for the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor. There will be opportunities for the wider community to be involved and contribute to the future vision of Stirling Highway at key points between now and the end of 2021.
I was not selected to be a member of the SRG. Can I still attend SRG meetings?
An opportunity to nominate to be a member of the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor Stakeholder Reference Group ran in June 2021. A selection process was then undertaken and the final members chosen to represent the community on the SRG was made.
If you were unsuccessful in being selected, or have only recently learned about the future planning work that is taking place for the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor Precinct, you can register for updates on this page or enter a valid email address on the 'Follow Project' widget located on the right-hand side of this page.
Opportunities to contribute to the future planning for the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor Precinct Area will be available in the coming months.
SRG meetings are strictly invite only. Should you decide to attend, you will be kindly asked to leave.
Where is the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor?
The Stirling Highway Activity Corridor extends along the east-west axis of the City, defined by the intersection of Loch Street which abuts Town of Claremont to the west and the intersection of Broadway and Hampden Road which abut the City of Perth's municipal boundary to the east.
The extent of the corridor relevant to the City of Nedlands is approximately 2.2km long.
Why has the Nedlands Town Centre Precinct been absorbed into the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor Precinct Area?
The Stirling Highway Activity Corridor Precinct Area represents the largest Precinct Area for the engagement program being delivered.
The Nedlands Town Centre (refer to F on the map below) is now being absorbed into the entire study area that comprises Stirling Highway West and Stirling Highway East, that is now referenced as the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor Precinct Area.
The revised Precinct Area is as shown in the map above and includes the areas as referenced below:
Stirling Highway Activity Corridor
Transition Area
The absorption of the Nedlands Town Centre into the greater Stirling Highway Activity Corridor Precinct area, is based on recognising the important interplay between the East and West extent of Stirling Highway with the area identified as the Nedlands Town Centre.
Prelimimary built form modelling has been delivered for the Nedlands Town Centre. The remainder of the Corridor does not have any built form modelling developed yet. It is recognised the important role of Stirling highway and its significance to the City and its community.
Why do we need to develop a local planning framework for this Corridor?
The City's Local Planning Scheme No.3 introduced a number of new zones and higher density into the City, with the majority of the higher densities being located either on, or adjacent to major movement corridors within the City (ie Broadway, Hampden Road and Stirling Highway).
The City is eager to establish an appropriate local planning framework to respond to and guide future development in these areas where higher densities now apply.
Stirling Highway is a key movement corridor within the City and the City recognises the importance of ensuring that the built form along this corridor is one that is responsive to the local context, while still enabling the density provisions applied through LPS3 to be achieved.
Why is the City doing planning for the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor?
The City of Nedlands is undertaking an important initiative to develop a local planning framework that will respond to the higher densities that were introduced into the City's Local Planning Scheme No.3, with focus for this project relating to the Stirling Highway Activity Corridor.
Why is the focus being placed on Stirling Highway?
Stirling Highway performs the role of being a major gateway to the City. The general land uses found along this corridor are a combination of low rise residential buildings and commercial land uses. There are a number of natural nodal locations along the highway, with a core location being at the intersection of Dalkeith Road and Stirling Highway, which is often considered as the City's "Town Centre".
