FORMER Western Australian Planning Commission chief Simon Holthouse has been appointed to coordinate the WA Government’s sustainable community programs in the Wagerup area.
One of Mr Holthouse’s tasks will be chairing a steering committee for the Pinjarra to Brunswick Sustainable Communities Strategy Study.
The study is part of an overall Government program of economic, social, environmental and health initiatives for the region.
Based on community priorities, the program will complement specific Government and Alcoa World Alumina measures to address concerns over emissions from the Wagerup alumina refinery and associated changes to the community.
Both the Peel and South West Development Commissions will be involved in managing the programs.
