Community and Cultural Development Profile Community development is an integral element of places and influences how people live; social interactions and life opportunities. There will also be different community needs and opportunities in different places which influence planning for that area. Significantly, community networking of which the Local Area Planning process itself can help facilitate is an important element of community development, providing opportunities for community members to work together, capitalise on each others strengths, understand each others needs and support each other. Community facilities, organisations and programs also play a significant role in building community relationships, developing pride of place and meeting community needs. There are however questions that need be asked regarding how community facilities are provided so as to cater for diverse needs and community groups. The City is also examining whether support exists for the development of ‘community hubs’, where community centres, libraries and recreation centres, for instance, are provided in a few centralised locations to form a focal point for communities and provide flexibly for various community needs. The City also requires support of both the community and State and Federal Government to see that facilities and programs can be developed and continue to be delivered. Community Profile The key defining demographic characteristics of the Karrinyup- Gwelup Local Area are its predominantly family household structure and higher income levels relative to most other areas of the City of Stirling and the Perth Metropolitan Area. Population Profile and Forecast At the time of the 2006 Australian Bureau of Statistics Census, the combined population of the Local Area was 11,173 people. Between 2001 and 2006, the average rate of population growth was 2.6% which is above average growth rate for an established area. This is particularly due to the development of new housing estates in Gwelup and to a lesser extent can be attributed to some infill development throughout Karrinyup.

In 2006, the average age of residents in the Karrinyup-Gwelup Local Area was 39 years of age and 19.1% of the population was aged 60 years or older. The median age and the proportion of seniors were higher than the City of Stirling or Metropolitan Perth averages. A significant proportion (74.9%) of the 2006 population form family households - well above the City of Stirling and Perth metropolitan averages. Of these family households, 49% were couples with children, 39.6% were couples with no children and 10.1% were single parent families. These figures indicate that the Karrinyup- Gwelup Local Area is not consistent with averages across most areas of Perth and Stirling, where the proportion of couples without children and people living alone has been increasing for many years. Of all occupied private dwellings within the Local Area, 20.2% are lone households. This is much lower than the City of Stirling average, although only slightly less than the Perth average.

Subsequently, the largest age bracket in 2016 is forecast to be the 40-49 year age group. In 2006, 18% of the Gwelup population was aged 0-9 years. This reflects the current fertility rate in Gwelup (and Karrinyup), which is higher than the current fertility rate for the City of Stirling. The forecast reflects that the fertility rate for the Local Area is assumed to fall marginally between 2006 and 2031 with Karrinyup’s fertility rate falling from 2.17 to 2.14 children per woman, and Gwelup’s fertility rate falling from 2.66 to 2.61 children per woman. The Age Structure Forecast for Gwelup is also based on the assumption that a considerable percentage of the population will ‘age in place’ until 2031. 2006 2016 2031 CITY OF STIRLING 28 KARRINYUP-GWELUP LOCAL AREA PLAN February 2010
