Community consultation

Talk to us

Your opinions and views are important to us. We seek feedback from the broader community and stakeholders to help guide and inform the decision making process. We endeavour to maximise community and stakeholder participation in its activities through timely, accurate and understandable communication.

In the 2023/2024 period, the Town engaged independent research company, CATALYSE to conduct the MARKYT Community Scorecard. This study sought feedback from the community on a range of areas in relation to the Town's performance. A comprehensive overview of the results can be found at the following link: MARKYT Community Scorecard results.

Consultation projects 

Current

The Town of Claremont is working with DTM Tourism to deliver a Claremont Strategic Tourism Plan (CSTP) for the next five years. The CSTP will include development action plans and tourism marketing strategies to identify sustainable opportunities and enable our visitor economy to thrive. The plan will reflect the views of our community, embrace current and forecast conditions, provide flexibility and will deliver the greatest potential to create benefits for our community and visitors. 

The Project aims to: 

  • Strengthen and sustain ToC's tourism industry to boost economic and cultural development in our area, 
  • Understand tourism gaps and opportunities through a comprehensive gap analysis, 
  • Engage all relevant ToC stakeholders to position ToC as a tourism destination of worth, 
  • Enable development of 'experience connectors' that improve the current visitor experience and achieve dispersal across the ToC area, and 
  • Deliver strategic and measurable actions to enable ToC to emerge as a compelling and thriving tourism destination, benefiting both visitors and the local community alike 

Key consultation will include: 

  • During October 2026, key tourism stakeholders will be invited to participate in consultation and site visits from the consultations team. 
  • In November 2026, key tourism stakeholders will be invited to participate in a tourism planning workshop to provide input to the development of new opportunities. 
  • All ToC stakeholders and interested community members will be invited to participate in an online survey during November 2026 to provide input to tourism properties.

Previous consultation projects

The Town has received a Development Assessment Panel (DAP) application for part of Lot 100 (No.15) Dean Street, Claremont (St Louis Estate Retirement Village).

It is proposed to demolish three existing buildings in the middle of the estate and replace them  with three 4/5 storey towers comprising a total of 24 residential units for aged and dependent persons. The proposal also includes landscape works and ancillary communal facilities including a rooftop terrace and ground level art studio. Basement parking for residents and visitors would have vehicular access from Albert Street.

The application will ultimately be determined by the Metro Inner DAP, which is an independent body appointed by the Western Australian Planning Commission to determine higher-value or significant development applications. However, the Town is still responsible for advertising and assessing the proposal and will then prepare a Responsible Authority Report (RAR) which will go to the DAP with a recommendation for approval or refusal.
