Welcome to the Shire of MERREDIN

Community Engagement #YOURSAYMERREDIN

You can find more information on our community engagement initiatives here. We use the #YourSayMerredin on our social media to indicate when we are accepting public feedback. We have a ‘Community Engagement Framework and Toolkit’ that we use in instances of formal community engagement, or when we want to gather feedback from a large group of people. We also address aspects of our community engagement approach in our Strategic Community Plan that you can read here.

If you would like us to formally engage in community feedback on an issue, or have suggestions on how we can improve our community feedback processes, please call us on 9041 1611.

Community Survey - Council Plan 2025-35

Over the past five (5) years, the Shire of Merredin has achieved amazing milestones including the $10.5 million redevelopment of the CBD including Apex Park | Danjoo Waabininy Boodja and Town Centre, upgraded regional roads, commissioned a desalination plant for irrigation use, and opened a regional E-Waste facility and Tip Shop at the Merredin Landfill, along with several other projects that have transformed the community. Now, we're ready to build on that success and plan for the future by asking the community, what's next?

The Shire of Merredin is currently undergoing the process of developing its first-ever Council Plan, and we are calling on our community to help us shape the future of the Shire across our key themes listed below:

What is a Council Plan?

The Council Plan combines the Shire’s Strategic Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan into a single document, outlining the long-term priorities, goals, and vision that guide Council’s decision-making. This community survey is the first step in the Council Plan development process. We are therefore seeking feedback from as many people as possible to help us determine our strategic direction for the next ten years, including key service areas and projects for the future.

Are there other ways to get involved?

Absolutely! The Shire will be hosting a series of workshops and attending local events, giving you plenty of opportunities to get involved.
