The Shire of Dardanup has unveiled comprehensive concept plans outlining proposed upgrades to the Burekup and Dardanup community precincts, marking a significant milestone following extensive community consultation.
Shire President Cr Tyrrell Gardiner said Council endorsed the final concept plans for the Burekup Community and Sporting Precinct upgrade and the Dardanup Community Cultural and Heritage Precinct upgrade at its June Ordinary Council Meeting.
Cr Gardiner said these concept plans will now serve as strategic roadmaps, outlining the future community facilities and projects aimed at enhancing local amenities.
“Council has actively engaged with both communities, incorporating valuable input from Working Groups and a recent community survey which garnered nearly 140 responses,” Cr Gardiner said.
"Over the past few years, we have worked closely with residents to identify their priorities, particularly focusing on enhancing community amenities.”
Cr Gardiner said both concept plans proposed new skate parks and pump tracks to provide local youth with recreational opportunities.
“With the Burekup Cricket Club having more than 10 teams, including juniors and women’s teams featured in the local competition, there are a lot of youth in the community and surrounding areas that will benefit from the precinct upgrades.
“The Burekup concept plan includes new changerooms and a functions facility in addition to the Burekup District County Club.
“The Dardanup concept plan celebrates the community’s heritage with the proposed hall upgrades and related buildings, which also establishes facilities for youth.
“Refurbishing the Dardanup Hall will not only bring this community facility up to standard, but allow the hall to be the Shire’s primary evacuation centre.”
Cr Gardiner thanked all community members and Working Groups who contributed their insights into the development of these two concept plans.
“This feedback is instrumental in ensuring that these proposed upgrades align effectively with the evolving needs and aspirations of our community,” Cr Gardiner said.
“The concept plans not only streamline strategic project planning but also aim to bolster advocacy efforts for securing necessary funding to bring these visions to fruition.”
