Former Place Based Advisory Groups

From 2020 to 2023, the Shire of Dardanup operated both topic-based and place-based advisory groups to guide planning and community engagement.

These groups focused on key aspects such as Facilities, Activities, Character, Technology, and Services (FACTS).

After successfully developing strategic plans — including the Place and Community Engagement Plan and Public Health Plan — the topic-based groups concluded in 2022, with their focus areas absorbed into the Place-Based Advisory Groups.

These groups contributed to community facility plans for all four advisory areas and place plans for Eaton and Dardanup.

As broader strategies took shape, the Place-Based Advisory Groups concluded in 2023.

Council has since updated its engagement approach, introducing working groups that focus on detailed masterplans and project concept designs.

These groups bring together specific user representatives and stakeholders to collaborate on ideas, shaping plans that are then shared with the wider community for feedback.
