about the community plan

The West Coast Community Plan 2035 establishes a 10 year vision and action plan to guide the future of the West Coast region. 

The plan represents the highest level of strategic planning undertaken by a local council. All other plans should reflect and support its implementation. It identifies the main priorities and aspirations of the community, providing a clear set of strategies to achieve the vision for the future.

Council has a role in preparing the West Coast Community Plan, but it is a community-owned document. Many partners, such as State government agencies, local industry and community groups all have a role in bringing the plan to life. The purpose of the Community Plan is to ensure the whole community is working towards a shared vision and a bright future.

Previous Community Plan

The West Coast Community Plan 2025 was developed in 2015. The Plan represented strong collaboration between the community and West Coast Council, with over 40% of West Coast residents being involved in shaping the plan. We look forward to building on this collaborative spirit. Read the West Coast Community Plan 2025 and the Mid-term Review Supplement.
