City of Wanneroo endorses first Council Plan
Published Thursday, 4th September 2025
The City of Wanneroo has officially endorsed its first Council Plan, setting a clear direction for delivering the services and facilities needed to support our growing community.
Shaped by feedback from the Wanneroo Liveability Survey and internal and external workshops, the Council Plan brings together the former Strategic Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan into one practical and community-led roadmap.
Mayor Linda Aitken said the Council Plan reflects what the community have told the City matters most.
“This plan is practical, positive and packed with potential. It’s built on the voices of our community and focuses on what people care about which is safety, sustainability, local jobs and staying connected,” she said.
“We’re proud to endorse a plan that puts people first and sets out clear goals for a better future.”
The Council Plan introduces five strategic goals:
- a safe City
- a connected and liveable City
- a thriving economy
- a sustainable City
- a well-governed and managed City
It also includes measurable targets to track progress, such as increasing tree canopy to 30% by 2040, reaching a 70% recycling rate by 2030 and delivering all transactional services online by 2030.
The new vision statement ‘Together we grow – safe, green and connected’ captures the heart of the plan and reflects the City’s commitment to improving everyday life and protecting the environment for future generations.
With more than 6,000 ideas generated during engagement, the Council Plan is one of the City’s most community-driven strategies to date, guiding all City services, investments and advocacy efforts moving forward.
