Villages for the valley

RURAL villages are on the drawing board for the Swan Valley. GHD Consultants has been employed by the Ministry of Planning to prepare structure plans for villages at Caversham, Middle Swan and Herne Hill.

The study is expected to take about four months. It will prepare concept plans for the villages while protecting viticulture and other important rural activities outside the village areas.

It will consider design issues, community facilities, opportunities for new enterprises and environmental protection.
