Strategic Community Plan 2021-2031

Following extensive stakeholder and community engagement, the City's new Strategic Community Plan (SCP) 2021-2031 was adopted at the December 2021 Council meeting.

The SCP will guide the City over the next ten years as we deliver on our community’s vision to be a city of active places and beautiful spaces.

You can view the SCP as a PDF document whilst the final version is being graphically designed.

Thank you to everyone that participated in this important project.

The City is asking for feedback as part of a major review of our Strategic Community Plan. Earlier this year, we asked the community how they picture their future City of South Perth and received a great response through our survey and workshops. Thank you to everyone who took part.

The plan has now been updated based on feedback from stakeholders, community and Councillors and we are asking for your thoughts on the revised aspirations, priorities, outcomes and strategies. Feedback is open from Wednesday 27 October and closes 4pm, Thursday 18 November 2021.

The Strategic Community Plan will guide the City over the next ten years, so if you live, work or visit the City of South Perth, we would like to hear from you.

For those who want to know more about the revised Strategic Community Plan, the City will be holding a drop in session on Saturday 6 November at the City of South Perth Civic Centre between 11am and 2pm.

Help to ensure that the Strategic Community Plan truly reflects the community priorities for the City.

How do you picture your future City of South Perth?

We're reviewing our Strategic Community Plan (SCP), the document that guides the City over a 10 year period, and we would like to hear from you.

From 15 February to 15 March, we will be running a range of stakeholder and community engagement activities so we can hear from as many members of our community as possible.

The Strategic Community Plan is the City’s overarching plan to guide us over the next decade. It outlines our community’s aspirations, priorities and vision for the future of the City.

All the programs and services that the City provides are linked to our SCP to ensure that we are delivering what the community wants.

The current Strategic Community Plan is the result of community and stakeholder feedback from the Vision 2027 process which took place in 2017. From this, we developed a comprehensive plan to deliver on the vision of ‘A city of active places and beautiful spaces. A connected community with easily accessible, vibrant neighbourhoods and a unique, sustainable natural environment’.

We’ve worked hard to meet the community aspirations outlined in the last Plan and we’d like to know what else you would like to see us do.

We’re asking you to look back, to reflect on what we’ve achieved, and to tell us what you see as priorities for the City for the next 10 years.

City of South Perth Mayor Greg Milner encouraged all members of the local community to be involved in shaping the future of the City.

“It has been four years since the City of South Perth’s Strategic Community Plan was developed and now we’re conducting a major review to ensure that the aspirations and priorities set out in the Plan are still relevant. We want to check-in and make sure we’re heading in the right direction,” Mayor Milner said.

“Developing our City’s Strategic Community Plan is one of the most important jobs that your Council and the City's administration has. It’s a 10-year, high-level plan setting out the vision and priorities for our community. And to make sure that the Strategic Community Plan properly reflects what our community wants, we want to hear from you.”

“This major review of the Strategic Community Plan will assist Council to understand what matters most to our community, to prioritise resources and guide the way we plan for the future and deliver essential services.”
