  • Western Australia: a Small Area Perspective
    ......................................................................F E A T U R E A R T I C L E – Western Australia: A Small Area Perspective INTRODUCTION Western Australia occupies the western third of the Australian continent, comprising a land area of about 2,529,880 square kilometres. The administration of the urban and regional areas of this large and diverse State is divided amongst 142 local government authorities; nine development commissions; and a number of State and Commonwealth government departments and organisations. The demand for information relating to small geographic areas (such as Local Government Areas — LGAs) and broader regions (such as development commission regions) continues to increase. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is committed to identifying and disseminating social, economic and environmental data for small areas to assist governments and communities seeking to enhance local and regional well–being in an environmentally sustainable way. The results of this on–going data gathering from ABS and non–ABS information sources are compiled and available in the ABS' Western Australian Regional Profiles, more details of which are provided on page 26, and through the Integrated Regional Data Base, details of which are available on the ABS website at www.abs.gov.au (select Products & Services/Key Products). This article presents selected social and economic data for LGAs from the 2002 Regional Profiles to provide a mosaic of social and economic life in urban and regional Western Australia. A significant proportion of the social data has been drawn from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. The Census is the most comprehensive source of information about the characteristics of people in Australia and the dwellings in which they live.

Our staff and contractors continue to perform to a very high standard whilst managing to maintain full compliance and sound management processes. We are required to comply with the new Integrated Planning regulations and to this end the Council and staff had a very busy year of finalising, reviewing and adopting a number of plans that inform the core plans. These included a review of the Asset Management Plan (Roads) and the Workforce Plan and the adoption of the Airport Asset Management Plan, Revitalisation (Facilities) Plan, an Economic Development Strategy and Brochure and a Tourism Development Strategy 2015 – 2019. Council also approved a $5M program to upgrade and seal a further 20 kilometres of Landor Road. The CEO and staff prepared a comprehensive Business Plan for the this project which was presented to the Mid West Development Commission seeking funding of $3M over three years through the Royalties for Regions Mid West Investment Plan initiative. If successful this will, I believe, be the largest competitive grant in the Shires history. During the year Cr Norm Lyon resigned and an Extraordinary Election was held on Friday 16 January 2015. This was a keenly fought election with seven candidates nominating for Cr Lyon’s position. Dave Hodder was duly elected by a margin of 12 votes.
