Infill and #keepWAgrowing

The Property Council has completed a raft of research projects that demonstrates how effective local planning and a balance of development outcomes, including urban infill will create more jobs,
Lino will share some these research findings and how they can be applied to Bayswater.
Lino will also share the policy solutions for urban infill that the Property Council will advocate at the 2017 State election.

Philip Griffiths
Heritage Architect
How Does Heritage Fit In?
Phil Griffiths will talk about the importance of proper identification of local heritage so that a balance can be struck between retaining things of heritage value and development opportunities.
Bayswater should not feel stifled by its heritage but find ways to embrace it. The Bayswater Heritage list was due for a review.
“Sometimes heritage is trotted out as a reason for not doing things. People could avoid any hysteria by taking a rational approach to heritage.”
Seats are limited.

Future Bayswater: Future Vision
What is wanted? A livable, vibrant and connected Town Centre.
Why? To become a "go-to" destination rather than a "go through" in desperation.
How to do this? By supporting a comprehensive Future Vision via an Activity Centre Plan.
Why Bayswater? It's a strategic inner urban hub that hasn't realised its full potential ... yet.
