Culture and Community
Culture and Community is a Sustainability Pillar in our Sustainability Strategy 2021 - 2031. The relevant key principle is: 'We value our community's cultural knowledge and sharing this with future generations'. Our objectives related to this pillar are:
- Build a skilled, confident, and knowledgeable workforce who can positively respond to the challenges of sustainability and climate change
- Commit to a culture of sustainability embedded into all Council activities led by the Shire Executive
- Promote sustainable best practice within the broader community
- Work collaboratively with the indigenous population and develop best practice indigenous engagement and recognition strategies
- Work with our young people to develop a vibrant youth space in our community
- Embrace inclusivity and ensure availability and access of infrastructure and services to all minority groups including disadvantaged, and people with disabilities
- Promote partnerships with not-for-profits to deliver Shire activities and assist with infrastructure requirements that support sustainable principles
- Establish a community volunteering model that will provide long-term support to community groups
