Your Choice. Our Future.

Exmouth Strategic Community Plan.

A Strategic Community Plan outlines the community long term (10+ years) vision, values, aspirations and priorities, with reference to other local government plans, information and resourcing capabilities.  

The Strategic Community Plan:

  • Establishes the community's vision for the local government's future, including aspirations and service expectations.
  • Drives the development of local government area/place/regional plans, resourcing and other informing strategies, for example, workforce, asset management and services, and
  • Will ultimately be a driver for all other planning.

Every four years, we have the chance to refresh our vision and priorities for the future.

2022 MAJOR REVIEW - YOUR CHOICE. OUR FUTURE

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of this community engagement?

Every four years, the Shire and the community have the chance to refresh their vision and priorities for the future.

The result is a new Plan that shows where we are going (looking ten years ahead) and a more detailed and firm plan for the next four years.
Why does the Shire produce these plans?

They are part of the Integrated Planning and Reporting framework. All local governments in Western Australia are required to have these plans. They ensure the Shire is well managed and follows the community’s vision and priorities.

The framework also includes plans for assets, the Shire workforce and finances to ensure that the Shire’s commitments are achievable and affordable for the community and that the community’s assets are being properly maintained and renewed.
Can I do the survey and come to a workshop? Or can I only do one of those? You can do both.
What say I want to do the survey but don’t have a computer? No problem, you can collect a hard copy from the Shire. 
Who is facilitating the community engagement?

We have engaged Localise to facilitate the community engagement.

Localise is a reputable and experienced consultancy in community engagement and strategic planning. Councillors and senior staff will also be part of the engagement. We are looking forward to the conversations with everyone.

Should I bring someone with me to the workshop? Or is it better to come on my own?

 It works either way! Feel free to come with others or just yourself.

2018 Major Review - Exmouth 2030

The adoption of the Strategic Community Plan, Exmouth 2030, by the Shire of Exmouth Council in 2018 marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for us.

Almost 20 per cent of the community participated in the Strategic Community Plan public consultation. This is well above the 10% standard outlined in the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework and Guidelines published by the Department of Local Government Sport and Cultural Industries.  This engagement gave voice to the community, and your responses gave us valuable insight into your aspirations for the future. 

Analysis of community feedback and survey data has led to the development of community priorities for social, economic, environmental, changing demographics and land use, social and leadership in the Shire of Exmouth.  
As a new Council, we now have a document that clearly establishes the vision of the community for the future of the Shire of Exmouth.  It will be the key strategic document used by the Council to guide decision-making and drive the development of corporate business plans, resourcing and other informing strategies.  

We believe Exmouth 2030 provides an appropriate framework to meet our community's current and future challenges.    

The Plan takes into account the broad social, cultural, economic and environmental areas and how private industry, government agencies and the community might contribute to achieving the aspirations of our community.
Our thanks go to all those who supported this process and gave up their time to provide their input and help guide the development of this plan.  As a Council, we look forward to working in good faith with our community to achieve the aspirations in Exmouth 2030.
