WALGA’s 2025 Federal Election Priorities
As the 2025 Federal election approaches, communities across Australia are facing a range of challenges.
The cost-of-living crisis, more frequent natural disasters and extreme weather events, a shifting demographic profile and the transition to a low-carbon economy are placing strain on families and our most vulnerable.
Building community resilience is a crucial strategy to address these pressing issues. Resilient communities are better equipped to respond to, recover from, and adapt to challenges. They foster inclusivity, sustainability, and local economic development, creating a robust foundation to overcome any obstacles.
This election presents an important opportunity for the incoming government to prioritise building community resilience, ensuring a brighter future for communities across the nation.
WALGA’s 2025 Federal Election Priorities, presents a plan to build community resilience through strategic investments and policy reforms in critical areas such as community infrastructure, coastal management, emergency management, regional health, road safety, and telecommunications.
