Following the 6 week community consultation period, the project Community Reference Group met 8th March to consider the feedback and suggestions that were received from the broader community.
This resulted in a number of changes, including the order of the notice, changes to requirements of category 1, removal of category 2b, and changes to the requirements in both category 2 and 3 that apply to properties with habitable dwellings. A significant number of changes were also implemented to the definitions, with a full summary available in the report 6.3 of the Bush Fire Advisory Committee meeting 12 March 2024 (unconfirmed minutes here), where the notice was considered and endorsed by the committee.
City officers have since discussed the project with Karri Karrak, with no changes requested to the presented Notice. A report to Council on the project requesting their endorsement for implementation for the 24/25 Summer will be listed on the Agenda of the Ordinary Council meeting May 15.
A community engagement session is scheduled between 330-530pm on Friday 3rd May in the Undalup room in the City Administration Building. Interested community members are invited to attend to understand how the notice that will be presented to council may apply to them.
Community members also have the opportunity to present their thoughts on the item at the Community Access Schedule on the 8th of May.
