“DIRECTIONS 2031: DRAFT SPATIAL FRAMEWORK FOR PERTH AND PEEL”
I refer to the “Directions 2031: Draft Spatial Framework for Perth and Peel” released yesterday. (1) Can the minister advise which suburbs in the central subregion currently have an average residential density of 15 or more dwellings per zoned hectare; and, if not, will the minister ensure that a list is prepared and made public? (2) In developing the framework, did the Department for Planning and Infrastructure or the Western Australian Planning Commission conduct any studies into the impact of the proposed connected city scenario on the road network; and, if so, will the minister table the study? (3) Is the minister or his agencies aware of any other locations that have successfully introduced an economic development strategy as proposed in the framework? (4) How does the minister intend to restrict employment growth in the central subregion to ensure that employment growth targets in the other subregions are met? Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The minister has responded — (1) As part of the implementation strategy for “Directions 2031: Draft Spatial Framework for Perth and Peel”, a growth management strategy will be prepared for the central subregion. In this document, an analysis will be undertaken of the existing densities of suburbs. It is anticipated that this strategy will be released for public consultation in November 2009. (2) “Directions 2031” has been based on the current and future road network as indicated in the metropolitan region scheme. Included in the document is a plan showing the existing and future freight networks. As part of the implementation strategy, “Directions 2031” structure plans for subregions will be prepared when these are recommended in the growth management strategies. The road network implications of the connected city scenario will be further addressed at this stage of the planning process. (3) “Directions 2031” recommends that an economic development strategy be prepared for the Perth and Peel regions. In developing this strategy, a review of other cities’ experiences with the introduction of economic development initiatives will be undertaken. (4) “Directions 2031” is not imposing any specific restrictions on employment growth in the central subregion. Its focus is on promoting the development of centres and subregions with an emphasis on the opportunities for creating higher rates of employment in the outer subregions.
