Joondalup Council Briefing and Perth Capital City Plan Workshop Lead Today's Political Agenda

Overview of Political Activities in Greater Perth

Today, Tuesday, 10 March 2026, marks a significant day for local and state governance across the Perth metropolitan area. Key sessions are scheduled for both the City of Joondalup and the City of Perth, alongside the ongoing sitting of the Western Australian Parliament. These events focus on long-term urban planning, community consultation, and the review of upcoming municipal decisions.

City of Joondalup Briefing Session

The City of Joondalup is holding a Briefing Session this evening, commencing at 6:30 pm at the Joondalup Civic Centre. This session is a critical component of the local government’s decision-making process, allowing Elected Members to review and ask questions regarding the draft items set for the upcoming Ordinary Council Meeting. While no formal votes are cast during briefing sessions, they serve as the primary forum for councillors to seek clarification from the City’s administration on matters ranging from local planning schemes to community infrastructure projects. Residents have been invited to participate via public question time, emphasizing the council’s commitment to transparency and procedural fairness.

Perth Capital City Plan Community Workshop

In the heart of the city, the City of Perth is hosting its second major community workshop for the "Draft Perth Capital City Plan – Towards 2036 and Beyond." The session is scheduled to take place from 6:15 pm to 8:15 pm at the Langley Park Pavilion. As the City’s primary strategic document, this plan is designed to dictate the direction of growth, investment, and inclusivity for the next decade. Today's workshop provides a platform for local residents and stakeholders to offer direct feedback on the draft, which aims to position Perth as a globally connected and future-focused capital. City officials have noted that the insights gathered today will be instrumental in the final endorsement of the plan, expected by mid-2026.

State Government and Parliamentary Sitting

At the state level, the Parliament of Western Australia remains in session today. Both the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council are scheduled to sit, continuing the legislative agenda for the first quarter of 2026. Current government focus remains high on the success of the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026, which has seen record-breaking attendance in Perth, and the administration of new environmental grants, such as the WaterSmart Farms initiative. The State Government continues to monitor the economic impact of these major events while addressing long-term infrastructure and resource management across the region.
