At the Shire of Mundaring, we're committed to engaging with our community in meaningful, inclusive and transparent ways. Our Community Engagement Framework guides how we listen, share information and involve the community in shaping the future of our Shire.
As we continue to evolve our approach, Future Mundaring brings together the many conversations that help shape our community. It provides a central place for residents, businesses, community groups and visitors to learn about projects and initiatives, share feedback, and see how community input contributes to future planning, priorities and decision-making.
Our approach is guided by three key principles:
We strive to improve the ways we communicate and share information with our community, helping people stay informed and better understand the issues, opportunities and decisions that affect our region.
Through ongoing conversations and engagement activities, we aim to build and maintain strong relationships that foster trust, collaboration and shared understanding across our community.
We are committed to listening to and considering the diverse voices within our community, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to contribute their ideas, experiences and perspectives.
These principles help ensure our engagement processes not only meet statutory requirements, but also reflect the needs, aspirations and values of our community. By bringing many conversations together in one place, Future Mundaring helps create clearer connections between community feedback, planning and decision-making, leading to better informed outcomes for everyone.
Future Mundaring isn’t a one-off survey. It’s a conversation that will continue over the coming years as we work through the plans, strategies and decisions that will shape Mundaring’s future.
And we’re deliberately starting broad.
We’re talking about the Shire of Mundaring as a whole.
What do we value? What should we protect? What needs attention? What kind of place do we want Mundaring to be in the future?
The conversation will become more local.
We’ll look more closely at our different localities, what makes them distinctive and the priorities and opportunities that matter in different parts of the Shire.
As the planning work becomes more detailed, the conversation will too.
There will be opportunities to talk about land use, future planning and what that could mean for individual properties.
You don’t need to wait until the conversation reaches your locality or your property.
The big-picture conversation happening now will help shape the more detailed conversations that follow.
So if something matters to you, tell us now!
