Our Vision and Values

Information on the vision of the City including the Strategic Community Plan, Corporate Business Plan and Long Term Financial Plan.

Our Vision

The City's vision for the future of the Kwinana community is: 

A unique and liveable City, celebrated for and connected by its diverse community, natural beauty and economic opportunities.

This vision forms the foundation of the City's Strategic Community Plan, with each part of the vision represented as a specific community aspiration. To achieve these aspirations, clearly defined community outcomes have been identified. These outcomes further illustrate how the community would like the City of Kwinana to look in 10 years' time. 

Strategic Community Plan

The City of Kwinana's Strategic Community Plan (SCP) outlines the vision, outcomes and strategic objectives for the community over the next 10 years. It's a ​strategic roadmap of where the community want to go and how we're going to get there. ​

More importantly, the Plan is based on extensive community consultation which included thousands of pieces of feedback compiled into a distinct vision.

Community Outcomes

The City’s vision is supported by five community outcomes:

  1. A naturally beautiful environment that is enhanced and protected
  2. A resilient and thriving economy with exciting opportunities
  3. Infrastructure and services that are affordable and contribute to health and wellbeing
  4. A unique, vibrant and healthy City that is safe, connected and socially diverse
  5. Visionary leadership dedicated to acting for its community

These outcomes are activated by the City’s strategic objectives and the achievement of these strategic objectives is delivered through the City’s driving strategies/plans, supporting services and key projects.

Key informing documents include:

​​The City reports regularly on progress toward achieving the community’s vision. Quarterly progress reports for the recently reviewed Strategic Community Plan. Progress made towards the Strategic Community Plan is reported biannually and in the Annual Report.

Social Strategy

You may have recently participated in the 'Strategic Community Plan’ (SCP) consultation process. This helped the City of Kwinana understand your vision for the community and your priorities across environmental, economic, social and governance areas.

To assist the City’s SCP vision, we have a range of specific Strategies that provide more detailed guidance about where to focus our efforts. This is where the Social Strategy will sit. We have Action Plans that sit below the Social Strategy that specifically refer to the programs, infrastructure, services and policies that will be implemented to address those priorities. These carry through to our annual Budget and Corporate Business Plan, and most importantly flow through to City officer’s Individual Work Plans, which, lead to actions that achieve your vision.
