Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Consultation has concluded
Background
The City is preparing its latest Community, Sport, and Recreation Facilities Plan. This plan outlines what facilities (over $500,000) our community needs now and in future years, including:
Libraries
Arts and cultural buildings
Sporting facilities, reserves, and club rooms
Community centres and halls
Skate parks, BMX, and pump tracks
Specialised community buildings (e.g. Men's Sheds, Seniors Centres, Youth Centres, Cockburn ARC, Surf Life Saving, etc.)
The plan does not include:
Transport infrastructure (e.g. footpaths, bus stops, road and cycle networks etc.)
Streetscapes, local parks and open spaces (e.g. dog exercise areas, park furniture, playgrounds, beaches, bushland etc.)
Community services (e.g. waste management, community events, etc.)

What we need to consider
By 2041, Cockburn's population will be around 40% larger than it is today. As we grow, we face numerous planning challenges. Together with our community, the City needs to consider ways to:
Identify and prioritise facility needs so we can deliver the important things sooner
Plan for projects in a fiscally responsible way so we can meet current and future needs
Share our limited spaces more effectively so we can accommodate the different and sometimes competing needs within our community
Your feedback will help us to understand community needs better. After the feedback period, we will prepare a draft plan. This process considers the community feedback we receive alongside a demographic analysis, needs assessment, provision guidelines, town planning documents and other technical criteria.
How to participate
We want to hear which Cockburn facilities meet your needs, which need improving, and what types of facilities we are missing.
Feedback closes 4pm Monday 3 April 2023
