STIRLING council has won a historic 10th gold at an award ceremony which rewards accountability and transparency.

Stirling is the only WA government to hit the 10 mark, which earned it an induction into the Australasian Reporting Awards honour roll. 

The City’s 2022/23 annual report was the first to report on its new Strategic Community Plan, Sustainable Stirling 2022-2032.

Mayor Mark Irwin said the City was proud to be recognised for excellence in such a critically important area.

“Being a leader in accountability is no small matter,” he said.

“10 golds in a row, two best in sectors in a row and inclusion in the chair’s honour roll not only means excellence but also sustained excellence, year in and year out.

“Our community rightly holds high expectations that their local governments – that level of government most close to the community – will operate professionally and report transparently on what we have delivered for our ratepayers and community.”
