The Shire of Dardanup is inviting residents to attend its annual Community Meetings, a chance to connect directly with Councillors and Council staff, share feedback, and help shape the future of the community.

This year's meetings carry extra significance, with feedback from attendees directly informing the development of the Shire's new Strategic Community Plan, a key document that will guide Council's priorities and decision-making for years to come.

Your voice has already made a difference.

In the 2025 MARKYT Community Scorecard, nearly 900 residents shared their feedback, helping the Shire rank second among regional councils in WA and eighth overall out of more than 70 councils across Australia.

The results highlighted strong satisfaction across community engagement, local roads, planning, and youth and seniors' services, and identified key priorities for the community including housing affordability, community safety, and waste management.

Our 2026 Community Meetings are the next step in that conversation.

Shire President Cr Tyrrell Gardiner encouraged all residents to attend a meeting in their area.

"Our Community Meetings are one of the most valuable opportunities we have to hear directly from the people who live and work in our Shire," Cr Gardiner said.

"This year, your input is especially important. The feedback we receive will help shape our new Strategic Community Plan, so we want to hear from as many residents as possible about what matters most to them."

Meetings will be held across four locations throughout May 2026.

Meetings schedule: All meetings will run from 5.30pm to 6.30pm.

"We also want to remind our community that feedback is welcome year-round," Cr Gardiner said.

"These meetings are a great starting point, but the Shire remains committed to listening and responding to community needs at any time."

All residents are welcome to attend. No registration is required.
