Do you, as an Elector of the Shire of Kalamunda, support the amalgamation of the Shire of Kalamunda with one or more other local governments? Yes or No
Why a Community Poll?
A Community Poll will provide the Electors of the Shire of Kalamunda with the opportunity to inform the Council of their support or opposition to the possibility of the Shire being amalgamated with one or more other local governments.
What is being proposed?
In June 2011 the State Government appointed the Metropolitan Local Government Review Panel (MLGRP) to review the current structureof local government in Perth. The main outcome of the review was to recommend that the number of local governments in Perth be reducedfrom 30 to 12. These 12 new local governments are based on activity centres identified in the West Australian Planning Commission’s Directions 2031 and Beyond.
If this new structure recommended by the Panel was implemented the Shire of Kalamunda would be amalgamated with the Shire of Mundaring and the City of Swan,with the main activity centre being Midland. Growth models demonstrate the proposed amalgamation would create a local government authority with a population over 300,000 by 2031.
