2 West Coast Council Annual Plan 2021–2022


a message from the mayor and general manager

The West Coast Council will continue to work with the State and Federal Governments to support our community. We will continue to advocate for improved resources in the community, particularly in the areas of health and education. We will also continue to advocate for improved weed control, road maintenance, and telecommunication services.

Last year Council implemented a hardship policy, and a 0% rate rise. This year the hardship policy continues, and Council is proposing a rate adjustment broadly aligned to expected cost increases. We have also re

structured our waste charges to make them simpler and to allow us to adjust them to ensure cost recovery for our waste operations. Rate payers will notice this means that there is increased cost associated with the transfer stations, while the cost of kerbside collection has decreased. These changes are aimed to ensure our waste charges reflect the cost of different waste services.

This year Council will continue its core focus on improving service delivery, while making steady improvements to roads, footpaths, and stormwater. We also continue our focus on

improving asset management. In addition to the capital projects included in this budget a number of other ambitious projects will be considered by Council throughout the year, many of these supported by external funding. These include finalising the West Coast Mountain Bike Project and commencing the redevelopment of the West Coast Landfill and new gym facilities in Strahan and Zeehan. We look forward to a year that could bring dramatic positive change to the West Coast as many years of planning to develop these larger projects comes to fruition with project delivery.

The world continues the long road to normality through the Covid-19 pandemic. As we write this the vaccine rollout has commenced and will likely continue through financial year 2021-2022. The pandemic has impacted many in the community, many who have not been able to visit family and many businesses that grappled with changing tourist numbers or other challenges.

strategic planningat the west coast council

The key document guiding the West Coast Council is the West Coast Community Plan 2025 (as revised). This document sets the community’s vision, the outcomes, and actions that the community hope to achieve.

Sitting below this are a range of other strategies and plans that require the support and action of the community or other stakeholders.

The tasks required of Council, along with our statutory obligations, all provide guidance to the creation of the West Coast Council Corporate Plan. The Corporate Plan is the document which identifies how these whole of community strategies impact the West Coast Council and guide the organisation to be ready to deliver on them.

Sitting underneath the Corporate Plan, Council develops a range of operational plans, asset management plans, policies and strategies that guide how we manage our operations and assets.

Together the outcomes and action items in these documents, when considered against the current context, form the basis of the West Coast Council Annual Plan which is the primary driver of actions over a financial year.

During the year we also expect to deliver a revised MTB Trails Strategy and the West Coast Walks Strategy.

priority actions

A NOTE: The thematic areas into which the priority actions are divided come from the West Coast Community Plan 2025 and the West Coast Council Corporate Plan. The visions are also drawn from these documents. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are derived from the West Coast Council Corporate Plan or the strategic plan for the relevant advisory committee.

KPIs are not designed to measure everything that is important, rather they are designed to provide an indicator of the direction that we and the community, are moving in. KPIs choice is based on data availability and relevance and therefore may change year from year as data sources cease to be available. Variations from baselines will be reported in the West Coast Council Annual Report.

Next to each action item the strategy or plan that it primarily supports will be indicated in italics.

VISION: TO BE A COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS. Education is led by Council’s Education and Training Committee chaired by Deputy Mayor Shane Pitt and including community representatives and education stakeholders.

Statement from the Chair of the Education and Training Advisory Committee

The Education and Training Committee is an advisory voice to Council on how we can achieve better learning outcomes on the West Coast. Its mandate is broad, not just focusing on formal education, but also early years, literacy, digital connectivity, and lifelong learning. Learning is a vital part of many lives and most of us will be lifelong learners, whether it is to support our employment, volunteer activities or for enjoyment. As a committee our aim is that the West Coast will be a community of learners. To support this, we work across the community and government to achieve education and learning programs for the West Coast. This year we look forward to the continuation of the regional training fund, the launch of the West Coast scholarship fund, and the exciting work being down to examine the feasibility of increased outdoor education on the West Coast.

Note: in the Annual Report 2022–2023 additional Capital Expenditure projects may be added where purchases made out of the Operational Budget are deemed Capital Purchases under the Australian Accounting Standards. These amounts will be deducted from the relevant operational line item and capitalised in a Capitalised Operational Expenses Project. For example, this could include repairs to machinery that cost more than our relevant determination under the accounting standard.

Note: It is expected that Council will be requested to approve additional Capital Projects through the year. These will be presented as external funding and approvals are secured.
