Strategic Community Plan Major Review 2022/2023

It's time to review our Strategic Community Plan!

The Strategic Community Plan is the Shire of Denmark's principal guiding document, sitting above all of our plans and strategies.

During the review, we're inviting our community to participate so we can ensure community priorities and aspirations are accurately represented in Council's highest level document. You can read the current Strategic Community Plan 'Denmark 2027' here.

So, why is this important to you?

Council uses the Strategic Community Plan to guide decision-making for the decade ahead. If you live or work in the Shire of Denmark, this is your chance to tell us what our priorities should be for the future. Help us set the course ahead for our community, environment and way of life. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
