We attended the public consultation session about the Infill Housing proposals at the Library last Thursday and met a number of Connolly residents there. We raised our concerns about the inclusion of Carnaby Reserve and the land to the south with the Consultants who were conducting proceedings, and were advised that the inclusion of those areas is an error! The extent of the proposed housing infill area should/does not…
It seems that once again Connolly or at least a part of it, is under threat of inappropriate development. Policies being promulgated could result in the loss of one of our scarce public open spaces (Carnaby Reserve) to high density residential development, and in turn prejudice children attending Connolly Primary School by introducing additional traffic flows along Fairway Circle. In addition, the Code proposed would be R80 +, which…
Congratulations to our newly elected Mayor, Daniel Kingston. The community has spoken! A fitting reward for his support for our Connolly SOS – Save Our Suburb campaign earlier this year.

By now you will have learned from various other sources that last Tuesday the Council voted not to approve the Local Development Plan. Those of you who were at the meeting or streaming it online may well have been confused about the outcome as, following the debate, a number of amendments were introduced and were edited ‘on the fly’ before the vote was taken. We were hoping to advise…
Together we have been on a challenging journey over the past few months, and as you probably already know, the Councillors voted (by simple majority) to Oppose the Local Development Plan (LDP) at the Joondalup Resort. Watch the video here: This outcome has been achieved through our collective voice and efforts, and each and every one of you played an important and significant part, from submissions, to our media…
At tonight’s Council meeting Councillors voted against the LDP so we have won the first round. This does not necessarily stop the scheme,
Yesterday’s community gathering in opposition to the proposed Connolly development LDP was a powerful show of local spirit! Over 40 passionate residents came together – joined by 7News and Channel 10 – to send a clear message: NO HIGH-RISE IN CONNOLLY! Watch the video here: Despite forecasts of heavy rain, the sun broke through at 10am and so did our voices – joined by cockatoos echoing our call: “NO…
The story of the proposed development in Connolly is featured in PerthNow today! Along with that deceptive rendering which even the Mayor agrees is inaccurate – showing 14 storeys nestled behind trees – it will be 2-3 times the height of the trees! The article starts, “The City of Joondalup is under mounting pressure to reject a controversial development proposal as Connolly residents rally to raise concerns over high-rise…
We are a group of dedicated Connolly residents (independent from the Connolly Residents Association) – and we will continue working with and for you in opposing this proposed development.
