Northam a 'SuperTown'
Super Towns Update - March 2012
The Shire of Northam has recently submitted its Preliminary Northam Regional Centre Growth Plan and associated business cases to the Department of Regional Development and Lands. A copy of the Growth Plan is available on Council's Website. It is anticipated that the final Growth Plan will be adopted in August 2012 following further refinement & community consultation.
The purpose and intent of the Growth Plan is to provide a mechanism to achieve the aspiration growth required to make Northam a significant Regional Centre. The Plan identifies key actions and strategies that need to be implemented within the Northam townsite and Sub Regional area. These actions require involvement and investment from Local Government, State Government agencies and the private sector. The Growth Plan is required to ensure that sufficient resources are available to undertake ‘transformational’ projects that will result in population growth.
The business cases cover the areas of Health and Emergency Services, Environment, Town Centre Revitalisation and Community & Social all proposing transformational projects for 2012-2013 financial year. Further public consultation will occur following the feedback from the Department of Regional Development & Lands.
Further information is available by contacting William Baston, SuperTowns Project Manager on 0458 080 800 or supertown@northam.wa.gov.au .
