Precincts
What are precincts?
The Fremantle precinct system (precincts) is part of a range of community engagement practices used by the City of Fremantle.
Precincts are groups of residents from local areas within Fremantle who “….work in partnership with the City of Fremantle to get things done for the good of the community.” – Precinct Working Group, September 2010.
There are 12 precinct groups in Fremantle as follows:
- Arts Centre area
- Beaconsfield
- Fremantle Inner City Residents Association (FICRA)
- Fremantle Society
- Gibson Park
- Hilton
- North Fremantle
- O’Connor
- Samson
- South City area
- South Fremantle
- White Gum Valley
Precinct membership is open to any resident or ratepayer in a precinct area and you are welcome to attend your local precinct meeting. The meetings discuss matters of local interest and importance to the community and are organised by residents. Each precinct is run by volunteers in accordance with the precinct operating guidelines.
