We currently have a ten-year Strategic Community Plan, covering the period 2022 to 2032. Major reviews of these strategic plans are conducted on a four-year cycle with the City’s next major review being due in 2026. The Local Government Act also recently underwent a reform, which includes replacing the SCP with a simplified short-form Council Plan that sets high-level objectives over a 10-year period.

Our Strategic Community Plan has previously been reviewed every 2 years (minor review) and 4 years (major review). These review periods will also be applied for the new Council Plan. 

The current strategic vision for the City of Bunbury is 'Welcoming and Full of Opportunities". This vision will be reviewed and redefined through the Council Plan development and engagement process. 

The Council Plan is a guiding strategic plan for local governments that reflects needs, priorities and aspirations of our community.
