A message from our President

Hello and welcome to the Wagait Shire Plan for 2025–2026. We are now one year into delivering on our new ten-year Strategic Plan, and while progress has been steady, we remain acutely aware of the financial constraints that continue to limit the pace and scale of development across the Shire. Despite these challenges, Council is committed to making the most of every opportunity to improve local services, infrastructure, and wellbeing for our community.

– Neil White, President, Wagait Shire Council
