The City of Rockingham’s new Community Infrastructure Plan (CIP) 2023 was adopted by Council on Tuesday 26 September 2023 - with the important strategic document set to guide the delivery of community infrastructure over the next decade.
Every year the CIP is reviewed by Council to identify the services and facilities that are needed across the City.
It is vital to the development, timing, design and location of community infrastructure, and takes into consideration any changes to the City’s population as well other economic and social trends that could affect certain projects.
Over the next year the City will start work on several major projects including Aqua Jetty Stage Two, the Stan Twight Reserve Redevelopment, the Baldivis Sports Complex Outdoor Recreation Space, and the Baldivis Sports Complex Outdoor Courts and Southern Pavilion. Planning and design will also progress on the Anniversary Park Redevelopment.
Mayor Deb Hamblin said the CIP would play an important part in creating a built environment carefully planned for today and tomorrow, which is a key aspiration in the City’s Strategic Community Plan.
“The CIP is a critical part of the City’s Strategic Planning Framework that guides the allocation of resources towards projects that cater for our projected growth over the next 10 – 15 years,” Mayor Hamblin said.
Council’s latest review of the CIP has taken into consideration the ongoing trends in the building and construction sector, and how they may impact City infrastructure projects.“Through the CIP 2023 the City looks forward to continuing to make exciting progress on several much-anticipated community infrastructure projects.”
