Local Government Team (Bands 2-4)
AWARDED TO
Shire of Pingelly
The Shire of Pingelly has transformed its commitment to effective planning processes by applying a bottom-up educational approach to demonstrate the fantastic outcomes that can be achieved through a multi-disciplinary approach to strategic and statutory planning. This proactive approach has also reduced friction between the local government and development applicants and supported the delivery of outcomes in accordance with their contemporary planning framework.
The shift in attitudes towards planning as an asset rather than a liability by staff and Council that has been achieved through authentic engagement with the community has underpinned the delivery of tangible community benefits.
