Reports & Publications

The Shire of Gingin has developed a number of documents which assist the day-to-day delivery of projects and services for the community. They also help us set goals and plans for the future which are informed by community input, and are prioritised and subject to resource planning. 

Annual Reports

Under the Local Government Act 1995 every local government in Western Australia is required to produce an Annual Report. 

The Shire of Gingin's Annual Reports provide an overview of the Shire's key projects delivered for the past financial year in addition to the progress against the outcomes and strategies identified in the Shire's Corporate Business Plan. The Annual Report also contains a detailed financial report for the past 12 months.

Audit Reports

Under the Local Government Act 1995 the Shire is required to prepare a report addressing any matters identified as significant by the Auditor in the Shire's annual Audit Report (submitted as part of the Financial Report included in the Shire's Annual Report).

The Audit Report states what action the Shire has taken, or intends to take, with respect to each of these matters. A copy of that response is then provided to the Minister for Local Government within three months after the Audit Report is received by the Shire.

Integrated Planning & Reporting Framework (IPR Suite)

Integrated planning and reporting gives local governments a framework for establishing local priorities to link to operational functions. This suite of documents is the Shire's most important set of planning documents as they guide Council and Community for the delivery of short, medium and long term service and project outputs. They are informed by many other important documents specifically focusing on deliverables within the Shire's operations. 

Three major parties are involved in the development of an integrated plan: Shire administration, Council, and the community.

The Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 require local government to adopt a Strategic Community Plan and a Corporate Business Plan.

A successful integrated planning and reporting process will deliver the following outcomes:

  • A Strategic Community Plan that clearly links the community's aspirations with Council's vision and long term outputs;
  • A Corporate Business Plan that integrates resourcing and specific Council plans to outlining services and projects over a 4-year period.
  • A clearly stated vision for the future viability of the Shire.

The framework:

  • Recognises that planning for a local government is holistic in nature;
  • Builds organisational and resource capability to meet community need;
  • Optimises success by understanding the integration and interdependencies of informing documents and strategies; and
  • Emphasises performance monitoring so that local governments can adapt and respond to changes in community needs and the business environment.

The framework and guidelines provide a process to:

  • Ensure community input is explicitly and reliably generated;
  • Provide the capacity for location-specific planning where appropriate;
  • Update long term objectives with these inputs;
  • Identify the resourcing required to deliver long-term objectives; and
  • Clearly convey long term financial implications and strategies.

Resident Satisfaction Survey

The Shire of Gingin invites our community members to participate in our Resident Satisfaction Survey approximately every two years.

By completing this survey, community members provide valuable insight for Council into what matters most to the community at that point in time. It lets Council know what the Shire is doing well and what areas need improvement.

Information the community provides in this survey also helps to inform elected members as to the strategic direction you would like to see Council take, and what you believe Council should focus on in regards to infrastructure improvements and Shire services.

The survey is open to all adult residents and ratepayers living in the Shire of Gingin.
