Major projects Hamersley Public Golf Course redevelopment

Recycling Centre Balcatta The renewal of the Recycling Centre Balcatta’s waste drop-off and transfer station will ensure compliance with all environmental regulations and enable best practice principles in relation to waste reduction and separation. The project will better support a low-waste, circular economy that protects our environment from the impacts of waste. In 2023/24 the concept design will be completed and the tender will be awarded, with the bulk of construction works to be delivered in 2024/25. Stirling City Centre

The redevelopment of the Hamersley Public Golf Course into a vibrant modern facility and the development of a two-level, 30-bay automated driving range will inspire a new era for one of Australia’s most popular public 18-hole courses. The plans for a modern pavilion and state-of-the-art driving range include a new restaurant, multi-purpose function room and virtual reality golf simulator room. The project will also include upgrades to the existing carpark to include extra bays as well as improved access and egress from Marmion Avenue. The project seeks to renew an important asset coming to the end of its life, improve access, increase its environmental sustainability and create a return on the City’s investment to ensure more people in the community can enjoy this popular facility for years to come.

Engagement is ongoing on our Community Infrastructure Plan and the vital role community infrastructure plays in the quality and well-being of our communities. The City will move forward on our bold vision to transform Stirling into Perth’s second CBD, with the Community Infrastructure Plan forming the basis of our blueprint for the future. Collaborating with the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage on a land development strategy will allow the City and State to align on a shared community vision, and fund future works through incremental land sales. Mirrabooka Town Centre improvements The City will invest in infrastructure projects throughout the area to support further land development and respond to local issues relating to carparks near Mirrabooka Town Square and Stirling Libraries – Mirrabooka. A community garden will also be installed in the Community Hub precinct, demonstrating sustainable use of reclaimed and recycled materials.

In line with our decision last year to escalate our solar panel installation to $600,000 per year, the City will invest in further renewable energy generation at the City’s Operations Centre and Osborne Community Hub. The escalation in our overall solar panel program aligns with our commitment to produce 100 per cent of our energy from renewables by 2030. To ensure public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is provided appropriately and adequately, the City will investigate suitable locations in City-managed parking bays, public demand for charging and the most common types of charging points. We will also provide sustainable energy planning and community education initiatives like workshops, club energy audits and sustainability advice.
