Between 2019 and 2020, we heard from over 2,000 Cockburnians who told us what they would like the next 10 years in Cockburn to look like.
Our community told us they would like Cockburn to be:
- A sustainable and diverse local economy that attracts increased investment and provides local employment.
- A leader in environmental management that enhances and sustainably manages our local natural areas and resources.
- A vibrant, healthy, safe, inclusive and connected community.
- A growing City that is easy to move around and provides great places to live.

Our Strategic Community Plan, the 10 year vision for Cockburn, was adopted by Council at the July 2020 Ordinary Council Meeting. Click here to read the plan.
The purpose of the Strategic Community Plan is to set our strategic vision. It is an aspirational document that will guide everything we do.
The plan was inspired and guided by the Cockburn community. Developed over 10 months, the plan included two phases of community consultation. Over 2000 people provided input through interviews, listening posts, workshops, presentations, surveys and submissions.
Based on the community’s feedback, the plan sets out five key outcomes:
- Local economy: A sustainable and diverse local economy that attracts increased investment and provides local employment.
- Environmental responsibility: A sustainable and diverse local economy that attracts increased investment and provides local employment.
- Community, Lifestyle and Security: A vibrant, healthy, safe, inclusive and connected community.
- City Growth and Moving Around: A growing City that is easy to move around and provides great places to live.
- Listening and Leading: A community focused, sustainable, accountable and progressive organisation.
Our Corporate Business Plan sets out the major projects, activities and priorities that will help us achieve the objectives of the Strategic Community Plan. You can find out more on the Corporate Business Plan here.
It is important the Strategic Community Plan continues to reflect our priorities, values and needs as a community so we’ll be checking back to review the plan in 2022.

In mid-2020 we shared the draft Strategic Community Plan for comment to check we got it right.
Over 3000 people visited the plan online and 71 people shared feedback. Most respondents (68%) were satisfied with the draft, whilst 18% said they were unsatisfied and 14% were neither satisfied nor unsatisfied.
What respondents said they liked about the draft plan was that it identifies admirable objectives; displays a strong commitment to residential, industrial and commercial growth; has a strong environmental focus; and addresses a variety of areas.
What respondents said they would like to improve was information on how the 10 year vision will be achieved and measured.
Feedback is being considered as we make last changes to the plan, before presenting the final version to Council in July.
Quick Facts
All local governments are required to have a Strategic Community Plan (SCP)
SCPs are a high level document which outline the long term vision, values, aspirations and priorities of a local government.
The SCP sits above all other documents in the hierarchy and establishes a direction for everything we do.
SCPs are aspirational and directional, so do not include specific actions or indicators. Actions are covered in lower hierarchy, operational documents like the Corporate Business Plan.
What Cockburn will look like by 2030
25% population increase to 150,000
21.6% increase in 0 to 4 year old age group
42.9% increase in over 65 age group
approximately 59,954 dwellings
one and two person households will be the dominant household
