Community Issues & Opportunities A Social, Friendly and Supportive Community The Balcatta-Stirling community has been established for many decades and there are some strong social connections and support networks within the community, particularly within key cultural, religious and business groups. However the community is growing and changing over time and many new and older residents would like to feel connected to a strong community. A key priority identified through community consultation was ‘people knowing and supporting each other and becoming like an extended family.’ The community forums demonstrated that the community has much capacity to achieve its own goals. The City of Stirling, Councillors and existing community organisations can work with the local community to develop social capacity. The City provides many social support services and cultural and leisure facilities which local residents can make better use of. Partnerships and support could also be harnessed for developing new community groups, holding social events and celebrating local culture and history. Recreation and Leisure The Community consultation findings have emphasised the importance of leisure in the community’s lifestyle and the desire to use recreation activities to bring different members of the community closer together. There is a high demand for increasing facilities in parks so that more social activity will occur, yet also high demand for recreation facilities such as gyms, sports and aquatic centres to support active lifestyles. The demand for facilities is also linked to the community’s desire to ensure youth and seniors have adequate recreation opportunities. The City needs to appropriately plan and promote recreation facilities so that funding is equitably spread across localities and between different interests and age groups, to ensure all people have access to a healthy lifestyle. Community Hubs A key theme for the vision of the future of the Balcatta-Stirling Local Area is a strong community with the facilities, spaces and events to support interaction and social development. Stirling Village precinct has been identified as a valued part of the local area providing both community amenities and social interaction in a friendly environment. The precinct already has popular commercial facilities, a medical centre and adjoining parkland, yet is surrounded by vacant, inactive and unattractive sites, including the old service station, a bland car park, vacant land and housing that does not connect the precinct. This area has the potential to be further established as a ‘community hub’ that has a level of vibrancy due to the activity in the area, yet also has appeal as a social meeting place. An urban design/improvement strategy is needed to improve the public spaces, and high quality development is needed around the shopping centre. There are also many opportunities for parks and recreation spaces to further develop as community hubs where people can exercise, recreate and socialise. The creation of hubs at Northlands and Stirling Village would require the commitment of the centres’ owners. Stirling Village could be a more inviting and social precinct CITY OF STIRLING 51 BALCATTA-STIRLING LOCAL AREA PLAN
