Your Community

The City of Albany Community Development Strategy is based on facilitating and building the capacity, networks and participation of both groups and individuals.

The strategy has several guiding principles:

• Enhance community members' understanding and skills in relation to community development
• Develop community leaders
• Assist community groups and individuals to access information and resources 
• Promote community development and training opportunities  
• Foster community networks

The strategy focuses on the key areas of youth, seniors, disability, Aboriginal and volunteering. Find out more by browsing the menus with these titles, to the left of the screen.

"Our community or our culture is our way of life.

"It is who we are: our dreams, values, beliefs and how we communicate these to each other and in our work processes. Culture includes how we interact with the built and natural environment; how and where our history is kept; our customs and traditions; how we trade and what we trade in; our networks. It is how others see us." (City of Albany Cultural Mapping Report)

A cultural mapping process for Albany was completed in May 2007.
