Residents to help Shape Bayswater

Kristie LimEastern Reporter

THE City of Bayswater is tasking residents to help shape the future of the City over the next 10 years.

City staff will be asking the public two questions; “What does being part of the City of Bayswater community mean to you?” and “What would you like us to do over the next 10 years to improve the City of Bayswater?”.

They will be seeking feedback at various community events during February and March.

Residents can also provide feedback in person at the civic centre, Maylands, Bayswater and Morley libraries or on the Engage Bayswater website.

Results of the consultation will lead to the development of the City’s new strategic community plan.

Mayor Dan Bull said the plan was a key planning document.

“It captures the City’s vision, priorities and aspirations for the next 10 years as outlined by you, the community,” he said.

“Whether you are a resident, community member or business owner, now is the time to have your say.

“As councillors, we are elected to champion the needs of our community.

“We need your help to guide us in the right direction.

“I am confident our community will embrace the opportunity to contribute to a new vision for Bayswater and help shape the future of our fabulous community.”

Councillor Lorna Clarke said she loved being part of Bayswater’s communities.

“Whether it’s through vibrant local community groups, bowls clubs, our libraries or meeting in our parks and gardens, we are kind and sharing,” she said.

“In the next 10 years, I want to see the City of Bayswater rejuvenate our ageing infrastructure, fix homelessness and meet our carbon, tree and energy targets.”
