At the City of Wanneroo Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 26 May, Council made the following decisions.
City invites feedback on draft plan for a greener, more sustainable future
Council endorsed the release of the City’s draft Environment and Sustainability Strategy (ESS) 2026–2036 for community consultation.
The strategy, which will replace the 2019 Local Environment Strategy, outlines a 10-year roadmap to balance rapid urban growth with environmental responsibility.
Consolidating multiple plans into a single, streamlined framework, the ESS responds to key challenges such as climate change impacts and biodiversity loss, while also reflecting strong community interest in environmental quality.
It focuses on three key priorities: cooler, greener communities; a clean energy transition; and innovative waste practices, as well as introducing a new Decarbonisation Plan to guide emissions reduction.
Community feedback will be open over a 32-day consultation period via the City’s Your Say platform and other engagement channels.
Submissions will be reviewed and, where appropriate, incorporated into the final strategy before being presented to Council for endorsement.
Have your say on future community facilities in Northern Coastal Growth Corridor
The City is seeking community feedback on its updated Northern Coastal Growth Corridor Community Facilities Plan (2025) to help guide future infrastructure for Alkimos, Eglinton, Yanchep and Two Rocks.
Council endorsed the release of the draft plan for public comment for 42 days through the City’s Your Say platform, commencing in early June.
The fast-growing corridor is expected to more than double the City’s population over the next 20 years.
In response, the plan proposes flexible, multi-use community hubs alongside new sport and recreation facilities, with delivery tied to development progress, helping ensure timely and coordinated infrastructure provision.
Feedback received will help refine the plan before it returns to Council for final consideration.
Step forward for surf club expansion
The City will undertake more detailed design and business case work on the future expansion of the Quinns Mindarie Surf Lifesaving Club.
The City will list $8 million in its Long-Term Financial Plan for the proposed redevelopment, which includes proposed upgrades to the function room and changerooms, additional storage and an external washdown space.
The club has been in its current facility since 2005 and has experienced expanded membership growth in recent years. Construction of the expanded facility could be completed by 2033–34.
Proposed precinct to proceed as planned
Stage one of the Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct will continue as planned.
Earlier this year, Council progressed the project to a Business Plan phase, incorporating a Community Recycling Centre, Waste Transfer Station and Materials Recovery Facility.
Council noted the project had followed the required process to date, with the proposal now under assessment by independent regulators, including the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and the Environmental Protection Authority.
Community petition drives park improvements
Council has agreed to install additional seating and a dog waste bag dispenser at Arduaine Park, Landsdale, in response to a 100-signature petition from local community members.
The additions will cost about $6,000 and will be listed for consideration as part of the 2027-28 Capital Works Program. Construction timelines will be subject to budget endorsement.
