WALGA initiated the Local Government Performance Monitoring Project in 2018 to accurately report the planning and building performance of participating Local Governments. Participating Local Governments opt in to the project to have their data recorded and de-identified to allow comparison of data across Local Governments. In addition to the summary report, participating Local Governments receive an individual report tracking their performance for comparison year on year. 
 
In the pilot year of the project, 11 Local Governments across metropolitan Perth participated. This has since grown to 30 Local Governments in 2021 accounting for more than 75% of Western Australia's population, demonstrating the value of participation for Local Governments.

From 2020, the data collected through the Project can now be explored through the Performance Monitoring Dashboard:
