Date07 December 2022

Home to a growing community of approximately 140,000 people, the City of Rockingham is experiencing significant change and it is estimated that about 200,000 people will call Rockingham home by 2036.

It is vital the voice of the community is heard to help shape the future direction of the City, which is why the City has begun a major review of its Strategic Community Plan (SCP).

The SCP guides the City’s operations over a 10-year period and a major review of this plan is carried out every four years to confirm it is continuing to deliver the aspirations of the community.

The City will be engaging widely with residents over the coming months to ensure a diverse range of community members can share their views on what the new SCP should look like. Community members are encouraged to complete a short online survey to help inform the development of the SCP.

Further consultation will also include:

pop-up consultations in local shopping centres, at City events and City facilitiesworkshops including local businesses, schools and key reference groupsfocus groupscommunity surveys.

City of Rockingham Mayor Deb Hamblin said input from local residents will be vital in shaping the direction of the City over the next 10 years.

“The City of Rockingham is a thriving strategic centre that is home to a diverse and growing community,” Mayor Hamblin said.

As our City evolves it is crucial the community’s needs and expectations are gauged to ensure we are moving in the direction they desire. This major review will encompass feedback from a range of stakeholders and we look forward to community members having their say on the issues that matter to them.
