A Commitment to Sustainability
The City of Kwinana is dedicated to creating a sustainable future for our community. Guided by the Strategic Community Plan 2021-2031, we are proud to align with the globally recognised United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
To turn this vision into action, we have developed the Kwinana Sustainability Framework, designed to embed sustainability principles across all aspects of our operations and strategic planning.
What is the Sustainability Framework?
The Kwinana Sustainability Framework ensures a balanced approach by addressing all four pillars of sustainability:
- Social
- Economic
- Environmental
- Governance
How the Framework was Developed
This framework was shaped with input from both our community and City of Kwinana staff. By engaging with stakeholders, we identified local priorities that reflect the unique needs of Kwinana.
Key Components of the Sustainability Framework
1. Sustainability Guiding Principles
The framework includes a set of eight guiding principles that steer the City’s operations and decision-making. These principles ensure that every action we take supports sustainable outcomes.
2. Priority Areas
To provide a focused approach, the framework identifies seven Priority Areas. These are targeted towards specific work areas, offering clear guidance to achieve desired outcomes.
Both components of the framework are described in detail in the Sustainability Framework document.
Why the Sustainability Framework Matters
By applying this framework, we aim to foster a community that thrives socially, economically, and environmentally, while maintaining robust governance practices. The Sustainability Framework positions the City of Kwinana as a leader in sustainable development within Western Australia.
