Urbis WA hosts its first Improvement Scheme sundowner

“

Although adopted, there is a lot of work and collaboration ahead to ensure the successful execution of the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area.

Some key take-outs included: 

• Consider Improvement Schemes as planning instruments that are available to facilitate projects of strategic importance to the state and generate economic development.
• Improvement Schemes are a ‘fit for purpose’ document and should be drafted accordingly – no need to include provisions that don’t relate to project context. 
• The State’s 2010 reform process to extend Improvement Plans beyond the metropolitan area and introduce Improvement Schemes undoubtedly increased the capacity to deliver strategic projects, which is critical in a globally competitive market.
• Although adopted, there is a lot of work and collaboration ahead to ensure the successful execution of the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area.

The Ashburton North Improvement Scheme is available on the WAPC website.
