NOT enough public transport or conservation parks are some of the issues Stirling council has with the WA government’s draft plan for population growth over the next 34 years.
Stirling will send a seven-page critique of the state’s draft “Perth and Peel green growth plan for 3.5 million”.
A draft copy of the letter, tabled at last week’s planning and development committee meeting, states the government “fails” to acknowledge the need to increase green space as urban infill intensifies.
The letter also says the state government hasn’t got a “clear plan” to provide urban areas with suitable transport facilities necessary to support the 47 per cent population growth, including a light rail.
There’s also not enough social infrastructures such as schools, hospitals and police stations.
Under the plan, the entire suburb of Osborne Park will be zoned for industrial use, clashing with the council’s plans to create an activity centre that would include a skate park and several other facilities.
