Background

Between 2019 and 2020, thousands of community members shared their aspirations for Cockburn, to help us develop our 10 year vision.

Our 10 year vision makes up our Strategic Community Plan. This plan outlines our objectives for the decade ahead. We are updating the objectives in the Strategic Community Plan and we want your feedback to make sure we got them right.

Did you know?

  • 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.
