The Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety (LGIRS) has launched its Strategic Plan 2026–30: Delivering Regulatory Excellence.
The plan defines our department's purpose, vision, and five strategic priorities that will guide us for the next four years to becoming a modern, high-performing regulator delivering quality services to our community.
This plan was developed with key stakeholder consultation, including our employees, and informed by the WA Government’s priorities. LGIRS plays a critical role in supporting investment, industry facilitation and effective regulation – all of which will contribute to the future resilience of the Western Australian economy.
Part of our strategic plan is the inclusion of four new organisational values:
- Collaboration: We work across boundaries to share knowledge, align effort and deliver better outcomes for the community and industry.
- Accountability: We take ownership for decisions, actions and outcomes, and follow through on our commitments.
- Respect: We treat people with professionalism and care, valuing different perspectives, expertise and lived experience.
- Excellence: We deliver high-quality, timely and fair outcomes by applying sound judgement, acting with integrity and continuously improving how we regulate and support industry and the community.
These are the values we will work and live by every day. Together, they form the acronym CARE, because we care about each other, about the work we do and about the Western Australian community.
Our strategic plan and values will bridge the gap between our department’s day-to-day work and the high-level agency goals and WA Government priorities that drive us. They will be integrated into the department’s business planning to ensure our deliverables align to our strategic priorities and the values are reflected in the way we work to achieve our goals.
