               THRIVING NEIGHBOURHOODS
               A PLAN FOR OUR GROWING CITY
               Council has adopted the City’s draft Local Planning Strategy, the first
               step to establishing a plan to accommodate our growing City.
               The draft Local Planning Strategy is the first step to establishing a plan
               to accommodate future growth in our City. The draft strategy marks the
               start of preparing the new Local Planning Scheme 7.
               A number of modifications to the draft Local Planning Strategy were
               made to address feedback received from the community, including;
               • Measures to ensure the height of future buildings with respect to
                   existing character
               • Changes to the distribution of future density to assist with a
                   sensitive built-form transition surrounding growth near Canning
                   Highway and Manning Road
               • That future supermarkets should be of an appropriate size for each
                   neighbourhood
               • Modifications to improve clarity and provide certainty for some of
                   the actions.
               The draft Local Planning Strategy will now be forwarded to the
               Western Australian Planning Commission for final approval. For more

     CELEBRATED
     Congratulations to the 2020 winners of the South Perth Young
     Writers Award (SPYWA). The awards ceremony was held on
     Thursday 27 August.
     The competition now in its 34th year, encourages excellence in
     creative writing and is open to all students from Year 1 through to
     Year 12 who live in, or attend school within the City of South Perth.
     This year 135 entries were received and the judges had an
     incredibly difficult job of selecting the finalists due to the high
     standard of prose. Entries featured a wide range of topics
     including the bushfires on the east coast and the COVID-19
     pandemic.
     The quality of writing we receive from young people increases
     every year and we can’t wait for next year’s competition.
