Plans and Strategies

The City of Kwinana has a range of strategic plans in place to establish a vision, and set the goals and direction for the City’s future. 

On this page

Integrated Planning and Reporting

Integrated planning and reporting (IPR) helps local governments turn community goals into clear actions. At the City of Kwinana, we use the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework set out in the Local Government Act 1995 and the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996. These laws require every local government to develop a Plan for the Future, which includes two key documents:

  • Strategic Community Plan – outlines what the community wants to achieve

  • Corporate Business Plan – details how the City will deliver these outcomes

To ensure our plans remain aligned with community needs, the Strategic Community Plan is reviewed every two years (minor review) and every four years (major review). These reviews include meaningful community consultation.

Supporting these plans are several other important strategies:

  • Long Term Financial Plan

  • Infrastructure Strategy

  • Workforce Plan

These documents work together to guide long-term decision-making and ensure sustainable service delivery.

The City of Kwinana has built upon the State Government’s framework to create a tailored IPR approach that clearly shows how all strategic documents connect and support our community’s vision for the future.

Strategic Community Plan

The Strategic Community Plan sets out the long term vision of the Kwinana community over the next 10 years. This strategic roadmap outlines where the community want to go and how we are going to get there. It sets out priorities and goals for the next decade, reflecting what residents want Kwinana to become.

Our Vision

A vibrant and inclusive community that leads with innovation and sustainability, where our unique identity and strong reputation make Kwinana a place you’re proud to call home.

Building Our Future Together

The City of Kwinana is committed to meaningful community engagement. During our major review, we launched the Heading Towards One Hundred campaign, gathering insights from:

  • 347 residents who shared their hopes and ideas
  • 1,198 participants in the MARKYT Community and Wellbeing Scorecard
    → 94% rated Kwinana positively as a place to live

These insights directly shaped our Strategic Community Plan and key strategies.

Community Priorities

Top six focus areas identified by residents:

  1. Community safety and crime prevention
  2. Streetscapes, trees and verges
  3. Verge-side bulk rubbish collection
  4. General waste and recycling services
  5. Environmental conservation and management
  6. Playgrounds, parks and reserves

 

Supporting Plans and Strategies

To plan properly for the future, the City uses information from other important documents. These documents help us make good decisions and keep working toward the community’s goals.

We also check how we are going:

  • Every three months, we look at progress.
  • Twice a year and in the Annual Report, we tell the community what we’ve achieved.

​Long Term Financial Plan

The Long Term Financial Plan underpins the City’s strategic documents with a 10-year financial outlook. It supports responsible decision-making, with:

  • Balanced budgeting
  • Prudent financial planning
  • Modest rate increases
  • Focus on long-term sustainability

  1. Aligned and active leadership
  2. Right people, right behaviour
  3. One team culture
  4. Empowered and effective teams
  5. Strong systems and processes
