Access and Inclusion Plan
Kalgoorlie-Boulder is a diverse community with a wide range of needs, and the City is committed to fostering independence for those of all abilities, ensuring everybody can engage in everyday services as well as actively participate in the fantastic opportunities the City offers.
The aim of this Access and Inclusion Plan is to ensure services and facilities can be made more open, inclusive and accessible for everyone, and we have reached out to all sectors of the community to make sure everyone has had the opportunity to provide meaningful input into the direction for the new Plan, which aims to incorporate contemporary practices that exceed minimum compliance requirements.
As a City, we aim to provide public spaces that facilitate a diverse range of activities and strengthen social bonds within the community, and deliver the community better connectivity with the rest of Australia and the world. This Plan will guide us on our way forward to delivering access and inclusion for all.

Advocacy - A Regional Partnership for Economic and Social Transformation
The vision for Kalgoorlie-Boulder is one of a vibrant, prosperous, and inclusive community, creating opportunities for current and future generations. Unlocking new possibilities and addressing the region’s economic and social challenges will depend on the leadership and determination of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder community.
All levels of government—the Australian Government, the Western Australian Government, and the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder— are working with local residents, including Aboriginal and business leaders, youth, and community organisations, to ensure these plans align with the community’s vision and aspirations for a thriving future.
The City has developed the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Regional Partnership (for Economic and Social Transformation) to inform the City’s long-term partnerships with State and Federal governments. The most significant benefit of regional deals is that all levels of government commit to work together to respond to community-identified priorities that will improve economic and community outcomes that last beyond election cycles.
Improving the efficiency, effectiveness and appropriateness of future government investment will be a key feature of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Regional Partnership over the next 10 years.

Anti-social Behaviour and Transitional Aboriginal Homelessness Study Project
In April 2025, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder released a landmark report addressing transitional Aboriginal homelessness and anti-social behaviour across regional Australia.
Led by CEO Andrew Brien, this six-month research project is the most in-depth study the City has undertaken in this area. It involved engagement with over 30 stakeholders across Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory, and features case studies from communities including Broome, Ceduna, Alice Springs, Darwin, and Kununurra.
The report highlights that while no two communities are the same, many face similar challenges - and that culturally informed, locally driven solutions are key to achieving real and lasting change. It emphasises the importance of stable housing, wrap-around support services, improved coordination between agencies, access to meaningful local data, and flexible funding models to enable community-led initiatives.
This body of work is significant not only locally but also regionally, state, and nationally. The City hopes it will contribute to better on-the-ground outcomes, helping projects that align with Closing the Gap priorities be more effective and responsive to community needs.
The findings will also inform the City's future advocacy at the 2025 Australian Local Government Association National General Assembly, calling for a coordinated nationwide framework to address transitional Aboriginal homelessness and support place-based solutions across regional Australia.
Through this landmark report, the City is proud to be leading important conversations and actions that can help drive meaningful change - not just in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, but right across regional Australia.
