Lino Iacomella
Property Council of Australia

Infill and #keepWAgrowing
Growing Western Australia is a major goal of the property industry and infill development is needed to achieve long-term and sustainable growth in a city like Perth. 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, prosperity and stronger communities.

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.

Samantha Reece
WA Apartments Advocacy  

Time to Rally for Choice.
When Samantha Reece saw a number of Councils voting against apartment projects, based on what she calls the .006%, she decided that she could no longer stand on the sidelines and watch passively. As a result, Samantha initiated the first apartment advocacy body in Australia in September 2016 and has been actively communicating with Councils, Government and developers about choice of housing.

Samantha will share some of her insights and goals for the advocacy group with Future Bayswater.

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.

Mr Griffiths aims to dispel the fear associated with developing around heritage areas.

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.
