Revitalise Mosman Park: Transform Mosman Park Village together

At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 24 September 2024, Council decided not to allocate additional funding for further studies related to the Precinct Structure Plan (PSP). These studies were intended to meet the State Government's pre-requisite requirements for incorporating a mandatory community benefits framework into the draft PSP.

As a result, the draft PSP will move forward without a compulsory community benefits component. However, the Town will use Local Planning Policy 32 - Community Benefits Contributions to work with developers in negotiating community benefits.

Once the State Government formalises its position on community benefit frameworks, the Council will review the PSP to assess the potential value of including mandatory community benefits, the required information, and associated costs.

The Town is in the process of engaging a consultant to develop a Streetscape Masterplan for Glyde Street. This project has been highlighted as a top priority in the draft Precinct Structure Plan (PSP). We are eager to enhance and activate our main street in the Mosman Park Village.

The Streetscape Masterplan will identify opportunities within Glyde Street to provide streetscape updates which would likely include new landscaping and trees, potential traffic calming, pedestrian focussed gathering areas, as well as identifying the type and location of streetscape improvements such as lighting, seating, and amenities.

Importantly the plan will identify the associated costs involved in making these upgrades and identify the priorities and opportunities associated with developer contributions to fund the upgrades.

Once we have appointed a consultant, we will be reaching out to you so that you can have your say on priorities and how you wish to see this focal point for the Village Centre upgraded and enhanced.

Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward with this exciting initiative.

Community engagement for the Mosman Park Town Centre Precinct Structure Plan has been undertaken using two methods, 1.) through the establishment of a Community Reference Group (CRG); and 2) engagement with the broader community, and other key stakeholders.

We're excited to share with you, the engagement outcome reports for this project to date.

Two reports have now been uploaded to the project page on Your Say, 1) Engagement Outcomes Report Part A summarises the community engagement undertaken with the Community Reference Group; 2) Engagement Outcomes Report Part B summaries the community engagement undertaken with the broader community. Please note we have uploaded the reports without appendices, should you wish to view the appendices, please contact the Planning department admin@mosmanpark.wa.gov.au

Both engagement reports can now be located under the 'documents' tab to the right of the Revitalise Mosman Park Village Your Say page.

These reports offer valuable insights into our collective efforts and the impact we've made together.

In addition to sharing these reports with you, we would also like to advise that the draft Mosman Park Village Precinct Structure Plan and pre-requisite documents are currently under review by staff at the town and in final stages of development. We are currently liaising with the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage to ensure that as the final approval Authority, the work that the Town and its consultant are doing, aligns succinctly with the State Planning Framework and associated guidance. We look forward to sharing more soon.

Thank you for your ongoing interest and input to this project. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as this project continues to progress.

Engagement on the design principles has now closed. Thank you for your input and valuable feedback.

Watch this space for a summary on the outcomes of the engagement so far and next steps.

In April 2023, the Town established a Community Reference Group for the project. The role of the Community Reference Group was to:

• Support development of principles that will be used to inform the draft Mosman Park Town Centre Precinct Structure Plan.
• Represent the broader community of Mosman Park.

Over two full day workshops, the Community Reference Group were asked to consider the following challenge:

‘If development is already happening, and the Town is expected to support additional dwellings, how can we work together to make future development occur in a way that makes our town center a better place for our existing and future community?’

The Community Reference Group responded to this challenge by developing ‘Design Principles’.

The Town are now inviting you to have your say and provide your feedback by completing the survey below. Submission open Thursday 6 July 2023 and close on Sunday 30 July 2023.
