Great Eastern Highway Urban Corridor Strategy
The draft Great Eastern Highway Urban Corridor Strategy is a strategic planning document to address the need for coordinated planning along Great Eastern Highway.
A number of issues need to be considered, including:
- How land uses and access arrangements could be better coordinated;
- How connections could be improved to some areas including the Swan River;
- How access options for pedestrians, cyclists and businesses could be improved.
The Strategy divides the corridor into four unique precinct areas. It addresses matters relating to land use, built form, the public realm and acnullcess arrangements with a series of recommendations for implementing the vision.
Background and status
Community engagement has played a vital role in preparing the Great Eastern Highway Urban Corridor Strategy:
- In November 2017, the City hosted two Community Visioning and Design Workshops to explore principles and themes that would define an overall vision for the area;
- The draft Great Eastern Highway Urban Corridor Strategy was adopted for the purposes of advertising at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 22 May 2018;
- The draft Strategy was then advertised for public comment from 27 July 2018 until 25 September 2018.
The submissions, the Strategy and supporting documents have been reviewed. Council considered the documents post advertising at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 26 September 2023 and resolved to undertake modifications, and re-advertise the Strategy and supporting documents. Modifications are currently being undertaken to the Strategy and supporting documents.
