Strategic Plan
The Department’s Strategic Plan 2025-2029 provides a big picture view of what we will achieve over the next four years by outlining our vision, purpose and goals.
The new Plan is guided by four strategic goals:
- Shaping communities – We are the sector leader for planning and managing the use of land and places and we work across Government to create and maintain thriving communities.
- Meaningful reconciliation – We use all levers available to the Department to achieve improved outcomes for Aboriginal people which supports meaningful reconciliation.
- Sustainable and responsible management of land – We will proactively manage cultural, built and natural assets held by the State to deliver economic, social and environmental benefit to the public.
- Economic diversification – We will proactively facilitate economic diversification to provide public value.
Reconciliation Action Plan
The Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) provides a framework for the Department to support the national reconciliation movement.
The RAP contributes to advancing the five dimensions of reconciliation by supporting the development of respectful relationships and creating meaningful opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The Department has developed a Reflect RAP October 2019- April 2021, which is the first stage of the reconciliation journey. A Reflect RAP will lay the foundations for future RAPs and reconciliation initiatives. The RAP contains actions aligned to the goals of Relationships, Respect and Opportunities as defined by Reconciliation Australia.
Multicultural Action Plan
This Multicultural Action Plan has been developed to help establish a clear and future focused framework to respond to our diverse workforce and stakeholder needs. It is designed to ensure the intended benefits of the State Government’s Western Australian Multicultural Policy Framework 2020 are realised.
Disability Access and Inclusion Plan
We are committed to ensuring equal access to our facilities, services and information for all members of the community.
The Department, the Western Australian Planning Commission and the Heritage Council sought public feedback on all aspects of the draft DAIP 2016-2020, particularly the identified barriers and strategies. Following the consultation period, the final DAIP was endorsed by the Department of Communities in October 2018.
