Background

We have undertaken significant work so far assessing our community infrastructure needs, identifying gaps, and understanding the needs of our growing population. Our approach is grounded in best practices, industry standards, and trends, with input from State Sporting Associations, peak bodies, and local clubs.

Now, it's your turn to weigh in. We're seeking your feedback on the draft documents throughout March. Let's shape our community together.

Outcomes of the Documents

• Principles for assessing projects.
• Multicriteria Assessment Tool - This has been designed to help assess and prioritise projects against each other for planning, transparency, efficiency, flexibility, consistency and budgeting purposes.
• For each Type:
  • Provision Standards
  • Strategic Directions
  • Recommendation/s

Thank you to everyone that took the time to provide feedback, the surveys are now closed. If you have any further questions or comments please contact Anica Rogers - Coordinator Recreation via anica.rogers@canning.wa.gov.au.
