Welcome
Surveys

The City of Melville has now released the key results of the Melville Visions survey.

Over 9000 residents, community groups and key stakeholders where consulted as part of Melville Visions and more than 2000 participated by providing valuable information on their current lifestyles and expectations for the future. The Melville Visions process included focus group meetings, stakeholder interviews, a public forum (which used hand-held electronic voting devices) and a large community survey to examine lifestyle arrangements and preferences.

This project used a variety of communication methods to engage the community in discussions on issues including:

  • housing density and diversity
  • transportation
  • natural environment
  • community and commercial facilities
  • sense of place

The views and expectations of the community gathered through the Melville Visions process, combined with government requirements and industry practices will collectively drive the review of the Community Planning Scheme No. 5 and will form the basis of the new Long Term Community Plan for the City of Melville.

Melville Visions was the largest community engagement project conducted by a local government in the Perth Metropolitan area. The project was awarded with a Planning Institute of Australia Award for Planning Excellence at Government House Ballroom on 10 November 2006.
