COMMUNITY LAND
MANAGEMENT PLANS
Ensuring that council land is fit for purpose
There are more than 700 parcels of Council
owned Community Land in the City of PAE.
These parcels are generally grouped into
categories related to their intended use,
with a plan created for each category with a
common purpose.
Community Land Management Plans are
strategic documents that outline how we
propose land that is managed by us to be
used by you in the community.
The objectives that are included in each
plan, provide a framework and guide our
decisions in relation to community land.
Performance targets and measures also keep
us accountable to the objectives of each plan.
We are considering the adoption of further
individualised plans for property that does
not fit within categorised plans, such as
Semaphore Foreshore and Folland Park, as
well as additional categorised plans such as
coastal foreshore and wetlands.
During engagement processes, we will be
seeking feedback about the overall suite of
categorised plans and any individualised plans
that are proposed.
It is important we obtain your feedback
about the plans because they relate to our
biggest and most widespread assets, which
are our public facilities and spaces.
Feedback gathered during the engagement
process will influence the way this land is
managed and ultimately assist Council in
deciding to adopt or amend the draft plans.
Consultation will open in September with
further information, including copies of all
draft plans currently available on our website.
At PAE, one of our responsibilities is to
ensure that all members of our community,
regardless of ability, have the same rights
to be included and participate in our
community, access our services and
products, and be considered in the work
that we undertake.
We are always striving to support and
promote access and inclusion that ensures
all members of our community have
the best opportunities to participate in
community life.
Work on our Inclusive Communities Plan
has been underway for the past year, with
community and staff having had opportunity
to share their thoughts about ways we can
strengthen inclusion and access for all. The
Plan spans seven key areas; Commitment,
Advocacy, Culture, Built Environment,
Products & Services, Communications &
Marketing, and Information Communication
Technology. Comments about the draft plan
can be submitted until the end of October.
