Constitutional Affairs Committee (1989 - 2001)· 20 June 1996petition_response

This 1996 WA parliamentary committee report examines a petition opposing urbanisation of the Swan Valley and Whiteman Park. The petitioners requested extending the Swan Valley legislated area to include Whiteman Park, Bennett Brook, and Caversham Air Base. The committee considered planning objectives, community attitudes, environmental impact, transport initiatives, and alternative land uses.

Impact

Potentially affects residents of the Swan Valley and surrounding areas, landowners, businesses (particularly in agriculture and tourism), and future planning and development in the North East Corridor. Also impacts the environment, including the Gnangara Groundwater Mound and Swan River.
