I refer to the many letters and emails that you have received regarding the Government’s proposal to take the Crown complex and the site of the new Perth Stadium from the Town of Victoria Park and place into new boundaries of the City of Perth and the Minister's response that the Government has decided the significance of these attractions means they require co-ordinated planning by the capital city authority, and ask: (a) how has the current planning requirements hindered the significance of these attractions; (b) upon what advice did the Government come to the conclusion that the current planning requirements were hindering the significance of these attractions; (c) by providing two specific examples, how has the current planning requirements for these attractions been hindered by a lack of planning co-ordination; and (d) by bringing these attractions into the City of Perth, how will this result in better planning co-ordination as compared with the current planning regime?

(a)-(d) The Metropolitan Local Government Review led by Professor Alan Robson found that the current arrangement and severely fragmented structure of local government boundaries creates a high level of duplication, inconsistencies and difficulties for business, lost opportunities for communities, confusion for customers and planning that is complicated, uncoordinated and un-strategic.
The Liberal-National Government's proposals for reform address these deficiencies and will cut red tape and improve community services.
An enhanced City of Perth, which incorporates capital city functions and attractions, will provide the benefits of a single focus on city infrastructure and facilities that also serve the broader metropolitan region.
The independent Local Government Advisory board will consider all of the submissions from local government and from the Minister and will assess these under criteria laid down in the Local Government Act.
The LGAB will then make recommendations to the Minister in mid-2014 on all local government boundaries in the metropolitan area, including the City of Perth and the Town of Victoria Park.
