What is Beverley 2035?

Beverley 2035 is a long-term vision for the Shire of Beverley to deliver economic benefit to Beverley over a long time frame. It is anticipated that the Beverley 2035 Concept Plan will provide direction for planning, funding and development over the next 10 years.

1. Refurbish the Beverley Aquatic Centre;
2. Industrial land servicing and release for development;
3. Residential land servicing and release for development;
4. Intergenerational Centre – aged care to child care;
5. Essential worker accommodation;
6. Relocation of the Shire depot;
7. Caravan park expansion;
8. Avon River Park development and Trails plan implementation;

* Please note that roads, bridges, waste and general Council functions remain a yearly top priority and are considered separate to the above planning.

Council has identified a $5M funding stream called Regional Precincts and Partnerships Program that will allow us to develop the Beverley 2035 plan. It essential we determine that our Community is in support of Councils strategic vision and understands the projects and the process. The funding program applications are due to be submitted in September.

Council invites the entire Community to attend one of our workshops facilitated by Mark Casserly to discuss the Beverley 2035 plan further including details of each identified long-term projects.

Light refreshments will be provided.
