City of Stirling Corporate Business Plan

ABOUT THE CITY OF STIRLING

Message from the Mayor and the Chief Executive Officer The City of Stirling is proud to present the City’s Corporate Business Plan 2023-2027, which details how we plan to deliver our 10-year Strategic Community Plan, ‘Sustainable Stirling 2022-2032’.

With over 235,000 residents, the City of Stirling is the largest local government in Western Australia by population. In line with the values and aspirations of our community, we aim to deliver the needs of our residents now and into the future. Sustainable Stirling 2022-2032 sets out an ambitious vision to be ‘a sustainable City with a local focus’. The Corporate Business Plan 2023 -2027 addresses the objectives set out in our strategic plan and how we will achieve these through the services, projects and programs we will deliver over the next four years. We will maintain a high level of service delivery, focusing our efforts to support the community and create a sustainable future whilst continuing to invest in projects that meet our community’s needs. Key highlights include the delivery of significant community infrastructure upgrades such as the redevelopment of Jackadder Lake Reserve Playspace and Macauley Park in Inglewood, the renewal of the Wembley Downs Tennis Club and improvements to Mirrabooka’s Town Centre. We will continue to deliver major projects that benefit our community. In 2023-24 the redevelopment of Hamersley Public Golf Course will commence, providing visitors with more contemporary facilities including a state-of-the-art driving range. The new outdoor pools will open at Terry Tyzack Aquatic Centre and we will carry on maintaining our popular sports fields and open spaces, improving our energy efficiency and

groups as well as sponsorship of major events that bring increased visitation and liveliness into our local activity centres. Through a transparent, consistent and inclusive process, we aim to provide a range of grants that are aligned to the priorities of our Council and meet the diverse needs of our community. The Corporate Business Plan 2023-2027: • Provides an overview of the structure of the Council and the organisation • Links each of the services, projects and programs to the strategic objectives found in Sustainable Stirling 2022-2032 and the resourcing allocated to these • Outlines how the City will measure and report on its progress and achievement against the Plan. The Corporate Business Plan 2023-2027 provides a best practice approach to accountability and transparency through our integrated planning and reporting. The City’s efforts in this space have once again been recognised at the 2023 Australasian Reporting Awards, with the City receiving Best in Sector and its ninth consecutive Gold Award for excellence in transparency and reporting for our 2021/22 Annual Report. Along with the Annual Report, the City will report on the progress of projects and progress of service performance to Council on a quarterly basis. At the end of 2023, our current CEO Stuart Jardine who has served the Stirling community for more than 16 years will hand over the baton to a new era of leadership under Stevan Rodic. As we embark on this new journey, we are excited about the future and eager to continue to build a sustainable City with a local focus.
