The City of Swan recently sought community feedback on its draft Social Strategy.

Historically local governments were established to undertake road construction and maintenance, levy rates for services, and collect and dispose of rubbish ("roads, rates and rubbish.") While these functions are still important, local government’s remit has widened, deepened and become more nuanced and sophisticated.

We are pleased to share our Social Strategy has been adopted.

The Strategy is guided by four focus areas including growing and diverse, healthy and safe, engaged and participating, and celebrated and vibrant.

These focus areas will help improve our social services to ensure our community loves where they live, feel safe and have access to great places, services and opportunities.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.
