Community Improvement Plan Project Updates

A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is coming to the Municipality of North Perth!

What is a CIP? What is the purpose of this project?

To assist in guiding future community improvement activities, supporting economic growth, and providing lifelong vitality, the Municipality of North Perth is researching and developing a CIP. The aim of the CIP is to allow the Municipality to contribute financially to private landowners, to help motivate, facilitate, and support reinvestment, restoration, and redevelopment projects. The creation of the CIP will support the creation of new affordable/attainable housing units across North Perth. In addition, the CIP is also an opportunity to engage the community in a collaborative approach to improving the Municipality’s social, cultural, and economic standing. If approved by Council and in place, the Municipality may provide financial incentives, in the form of grants, loans, rebates, and tax assistance, to eligible landowners and tenants to help with physical improvements to private property. The project will also include additional insight into the implementation, marketing, and monitoring strategies to better assist the Municipality with the implementation of the CIP.

What is the process?

The CIP will be prepared through a Four-Stage Work Program. There will be opportunities for public and stakeholder involvement in various stages throughout the process. In addition, a project communications update will also occur at the end of each stage to keep the public informed of project ongoings.

How can I get involved?

There are a number of engagement sessions being held throughout the project such as stakeholder workshops in Phase 2 and a statutory public meeting in Phase 4. Stay tuned for dates to provide your input, thoughts, feedback, and suggestions throughout the duration of this project!
