Planning for Canning Bridge precinct is moving fast. Today saw the release by Planning WA of a draft vision for the area. We are being asked for our views on the plans.
The precinct is located at a strategic spot where the Perth- Mandurah rail line crosses the Canning Highway. This connects Fremantle with the main roads to the State’s North, and East to the rest of Australia. The location also supports numerous high- frequency bus links and represents a vital entry point to the rapidly- growing Curtin University. Perth’s CBD, Murdoch Uni and the Fiona Stanley and St John of God Hospitals are only one rail stop away.
You can click here to download a PDF version of the draft plan for Applecross, Mt Pleasant, Como and the confluence of the Canning and Swan Rivers or go to the Department’s web site. They also have a link to a draft Land Use plan for the area and other documents.
The closing date for receipt of submissions is 5pm, Friday 19 March 2010. Don’t forget the public forum on Saturday 13 February.
I am certain that there will be spirited debate around the designs. It is so good to see action on this area. Listen, read, have your say and be remembered as being part of planning for the future.
