Your Place, Your Say

The Shire of Harvey is streamlining how we plan for the future, remain accountable for that plan, and have two-way conversations with our communities.

We have consulted and engaged with the community extensively. Now we are looking to consolidate what we've heard into a simplified Council Plan. 

Where are we up to?

• Our research partners, independent consultants CATALYSE®, have completed analysis of the recent MARKYT® Community Scorecard. The scorecard provides benchmarking data that compares us to other local governments. 70 local governments have previously participated in this benchmarking program. This means we can see how we are doing compared to a wide range of local governments. The scorecard will be available publicly soon.
• FUTYR® Community Workshops have been held across our communities. At these workshops we reported back on the MARKYT® Community Scorecard results, and sought your feedback on community priorities and aspirations.

Shire of Harvey Council Plan | Community Engagement

The Council Plan will provide the community with one central plan. It will be our roadmap for the next eight years: it will help us plan, fund and deliver the services and facilities our Shire wants and needs. 

This consolidated plan will promote a shared understanding of what we prioritise as a community, and who is responsible for making it happen. It will articulate the Shire's vision and advocacy priorities, and help us focus our resources on service delivery and providing facilities. 

This document will streamline and replace our existing ten year Community Strategic Plan, and four year Corporate Business Plan. It will help to guide budget decisions around projects and services in our localities.
