than the City of Stirling’s general average – with 19.6% being rental houses within the Local Area and 30.5% in the City of Stirling.

Within the Karrinyup-Gwelup Local Area, there are many buildings of particular significance that are registered and protected under the Municipal Inventory of heritage places. Others are on the Catholic Church Inventory and the Anglican Church Inventory. These buildings include Featherby House; Lara’s Lea; North Beach Road (old ‘plank road’ section); Gwelup School; Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, Presbytery and Parish Centre; Saint Francis of Assissi Church and Rectory; and Saint Mary’s Church. There is further potential for buildings to be protected in the future. 0 owned being purchased renting - govnt renting - other renting - total other tenure The average housing price in the Karrinyup-Gwelup Local Area is approximately $740,000, which is significantly greater than the Perth Metropolitan Average of $440,000 (2008 figures). Karrinyup- Gwelup housing prices have risen approximately 15.5% since 2003, which is on par with metropolitan wide averages – which suggests that housing affordability has fallen. However, in 2008 housing prices fell in the Local Area – but generally at a lower rate than across the Metropolitan Area. Housing prices in Karrinyup remained constant while they fell 5.5% in Gwelup (on par with metropolitan wide falls). Bestry Cottage is included on the Register of Heritage Places The City of Stirling has a number of tools to recognise and protect the cultural and architectural heritage of localities across the City. Although most of the development in the Karrinyup-Gwelup Local Area occurred in the early to mid 1980s, there is much cultural and historic significance in the area that may be recognised by the City in terms of heritage significance.

Economic Development Profile Local economic development is an essential part of developing healthy communities. It relates to how communities use resources, how community members are employed, and how they access services. Identification of local economic and business opportunities, matching of local skill sets with local employment bases, and capturing of innovation and enterprise in the community are important considerations informing local economic development strategies. Different parts of an area often take on specific economic functions. For example, economic activity is generally concentrated in commercial centres and industrial areas, while other areas may remain largely residential. Yet economic issues such as employment, education and access to services, still form important aspects of community development of these areas. Home businesses may also add to the economic activity in local areas, whilst also helping to reduce travel demand. With regard to commercial centres, a variety of high activity land uses such as retail, entertainment and residential within commercial centres is important for providing diverse local economic and employment opportunities, satisfying community needs, developing community focal points and reducing travel demand. Centres fulfil different functions, from the local to the regional level. Economic Role The current role of the Local Area is mostly residential. There are two commercial centres in the Local Area; Karrinyup Regional Centre and Gwelup Plaza. Karrinyup Regional Centre Karrinyup Regional Centre consists of the Karrinyup Shopping Centre, office activity and civic uses such as the City of Stirling Community Centre and Library. The Shopping Centre is one of the largest retail centres in the Perth Metropolitan Area (57,000 sq m). Karrinyup Shopping Centre and Karrinyup Community Centre and Library Karrinyup Regional Centre is identified as an ‘Activity Centre’ in Network City – the primary planning strategy for the Perth and Peel Region. Activity Centres should contain a mix of high activity generating land uses such as retail, offices and high density housing; be located adjacent to good quality public transport; and provide quality public spaces. The Karrinyup Shopping Centre currently lacks a diversity of uses and a strong interface with surrounding areas; fails to support activity in the evening or on Sundays; and is generally accessed by cars. The City is consequently working to improve the centre, and if Shopping Centre owners wish to expand their retail floor space, a Masterplan for the area will need to be developed in collaboration CITY OF STIRLING 40 KARRINYUP-GWELUP LOCAL AREA PLAN February 2010
