What is place planning?

Place planning is about working together to create towns we’re proud of. It brings together communities, businesses, and government to turn ideas for places into action – starting now! With the City of Karratha’s new Council Plan 2025 - 2035, setting a vision for the whole city, we’re now turning our focus to Place Plans for Roebourne (Ieramugadu), Wickham and Point Samson.

Each Place Plan will outline the community visions for their town and set clear actions, timeframes, and responsibilities to bring it to life. They will focus on aligning and delivering development and infrastructure initiatives (the ‘hardware’), while still considering the vital role of events, businesses and culture (the 'software').

By building on existing ideas and focusing on local strengths, everyone can help shape and activate the towns they want to see.

Stay tuned – the Dampier and Karratha Place Plans are coming soon!
