(a) The population and land use target study was developed as part of the Scarborough Beach Road Activity Corridor project to:
- Undertake analysis of existing land use and demographic data of the corridor (West Coast Highway to Charles Street) and immediate surrounds to determine the catchment of the corridor;
- Determine land use and population targets for the corridor based on the above analysis and within the broader context of WA Tomorrow and Directions 2031 targets and principles; and
- Assist in determining the future role and function of the precincts, centres and links across the Scarborough Beach Road corridor.
(b) The length of Scarborough Beach Road, from Charles Street (North Perth) to Scarborough Beach (Scarborough).
(c) The study recommended general population targets and land use requirements along the length of the corridor that are being further refined through the land use and urban design components of the project.
(d) The Scarborough Beach Road Activity Corridor Project is a strategic land-use and transport planning exercise that is being developed through a partnership between the Department of Planning, City of Stirling and Town of Vincent. The project is guided by principles that describe a vision for the area:
- Design road concepts to reduce car dependence and increase street legibility on and around Scarborough Beach Road;
- Make Scarborough Beach Road more pedestrian, cycling and public transport friendly through developing key nodes along the road; and
- Provide guidance for appropriate urban development abutting the road that will result in a better built environment and enable greater clarity for future development.
(e) There are no tabled papers referred to in this response.
