Shire of Broome Strategic Community Plan 2013 - 2023 3 Introduction from the Shire President Cr Graeme Campbell Forging Ahead – Remains our catch phrase in this revised plan that we now call the Strategic Community Plan (SCP). The SCP is an update of our previous Plan for the Future and has been restructured in line with the State’s new Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) Framework. This revised plan may look similar to our previous Plan for the Future, that is because our previous plan was seen as a best practice example to local government across the State with the Shire of Broome being one of the first local governments in Western Australia to develop a plan of that standard. Nonetheless the IPR Framework requires a slightly different structure and therefore we’ve amended our current plan while we finalise our Broome 2040 visioning project, following which we will revise and update our full suite of IPR documentation. Our community engagement and strategic planning is ongoing and ever evolving in order to understand and meet the needs of our dynamic community. The SCP represents the foundation planning undertaken to develop our previous Plan for the Future plus key elements identified from our most recent community engagement exercise, Broome 2040. Our strategic planning continues to be based on community engagement and robust discussion to determine what our key priorities and risks are, and how we propose to lead our community through the next period of economic growth and community development. Today’s elected members face significant and urgent issues. The Region is experiencing substantial change with Council continuing to be dedicated to sound governance, effective Shire of Broome Strategic Community Plan 2013 - 2023 4 leadership and innovation, and high quality services. Decision making needs to be strategic, visionary and with conviction to ensure needs and expectations of our community are met and within the financial constraints imposed upon Local Government. We believe issues such as the high rate of organic growth estimated for the Shire, the future of the Resources Sector and the proposed James Price Point LNG Precinct, the recent signing of the Native Title Agreement with the Yawuru people, the implementation of the Commonwealth and State Government’s Bi-lateral Agreement outlining the delivery of municipal services to Indigenous communities and the ongoing issue of land affordability and availability for residential, commercial and industrial development are issues that will have a major impact on our community as demand for services and growth escalates. Our challenge remains to manage growth, respond to change and maintain focus, whilst understanding the cost of service provision so that our community and future generations can afford to live, work and recreate in our Shire – this is paramount to Council. Shire of Broome Strategic Community Plan 2013 - 2023 5 Overview of the plan from the Chief Executive Officer Kenn Donohoe External pressures, strategic direction and economic development are placing the Shire of Broome in a unique but very exciting position. Council and staff are continually reviewing the collective capability of the organisation, and its capacity to be able to respond to change effectively whilst not to the detriment of our goals and community. The State’s new Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework, whilst presenting challenges, helps us to maintain a more strategic focus on outcomes and results. The key to our future success is through collaborative partnerships with government, business, community agencies and industry sectors. This is evident through the recent accomplishments made with LandCorp, the State’s land development agency

  • 5 Private Swimming Pools in Western Australia
    Investigation into ways to prevent or reduce deaths of children by drowning 5 Private swimming pools in Western Australia Where location was known, private swimming pools were the most common location of fatal and non-fatal drowning incidents during the six-year investigation period.146 As discussed in Chapter 4, the Office found that, for 16 (47 per cent) of the 34 children who died by drowning, the fatal drowning incident occurred in a private swimming pool. Similarly, for 170 (66 per cent) of the 258 children who were admitted to a hospital following a non-fatal drowning incident, the incident occurred in a swimming pool. Accordingly, the Ombudsman determined to examine private swimming pools in Western Australia in more detail. 5.1 Number of private swimming pools The Office was unable to identify any source with recent information about the total number and location of private swimming pools in Western Australia, therefore, as part of the Investigation, the Office collected and analysed this information. The Office surveyed local governments regarding the number of private swimming pools in their local government district as at 30 June 2015 (the local government survey). Of the 140 local governments that were surveyed,147 138 (99 per cent) local governments responded to the survey (the 138 survey respondents) and two (one per cent) local governments did not respond to the survey. The two local governments that did not respond were small local governments located outside the metropolitan regions of Western Australia. Section 130 of the Building Act 2011 requires local governments to keep building records associated with private swimming pools (such as applications for building permits and inspections) located in their local government district to enable monitoring of compliance with Part 8, Division 2 of the Building Regulations 2012.

This is the first time that a local planning strategy has been prepared to address the whole municipal area.
