Advocacy
City of Wanneroo Advocacy
Connect Wanneroo is the City of Wanneroo's dedicated advocacy brand.
The City recognises the role advocacy plays in influencing political support, decision making and funding of critical infrastructure and social services.
The City’s inaugural Advocacy Strategy was released in 2014 and resulted in funding being secured for key projects including the Mitchell Freeway extension, Yanchep rail extension and a range of community facilities.
In 2024 the City set a new advocacy agenda in the lead up to the 2025 State and Federal elections. This agenda identified a number of priority projects under the themes of liveability, productivity, sustainability and wellbeing.
