In reshaping Western Australia's urban fabric, the transformation of retail strips into vibrant community hubs requires a unified approach. As a consultant keen on strategic initiatives, I propose a focused vision that integrates local government, developers, and landlords.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, social enterprises play a pivotal role in driving positive change. These organisations are driven by a dual purpose – to generate profits while addressing societal and environmental challenges.

I believe that by exploring a more sophisticated approach, we can generate substantial benefits - but this sometimes means redefining 'the way we do things'. The 10-year maintenance plan is just one element of Strata Management where our expertise can add even more value if approached a little differently.

In the sphere of local governance or for significant property portfolio investors, the importance of well-crafted property investment policies cannot be overstated. Even on a smaller scale, these policies play a crucial role in shaping economic growth, community well-being, and the trajectory of specific localities or property portfolios.

As Western Australia sets its sights on the uncharted territory of Community Scheme developments, the success of this rests on a carefully crafted blueprint. Brave developers willing to embrace this challenge must consider three fundamental pillars: Community Engagement and Governance, Smart Urban Planning and Mixed-Use Development, and a Long-Term Maintenance Plan.
