Community views to help shape plan for Cape Peron’s future
Tuesday 26 May 2020

More than 850 community responses received on future plans for Cape Peron.

The Rockingham community have embraced the opportunity to have their say on the future of Cape Peron with more than 850 responses, including 500 from the local area, received over a five-week consultation period.

An online map also attracted more than 1,000 visitors who used the interactive tool to indicate preferred uses and activities for the area, generating 428 comments and further engagement.

Cape Peron is highly valued by the local community, offering a mix of recreational uses set amongst a spectacular natural environment.

Identified as one of 15 planning investigation areas, a previous scheme amendment was withdrawn to allow for more detailed planning to identify appropriate land use changes.

The results will be reviewed by a State Government working group, representatives from the City of Rockingham and the Community Reference Group.

Issues to be considered as part of the review of community feedback include environmental protection, recreation and community access, bushfire risk and lease management.

The Western Australian Planning Commission will consider the outcome in coming months and make a recommendation to the State Government for a final decision on Cape Peron's future.
