Our Organisational Values

Our Values

The Shire is committed to the highest standards of performance, behaviour and service.

To guide us in the delivery of exceptional community outcomes, we have five CORE values that are integral to everything we do:

  • Integrity
  • Openness
  • Courage
  • Respect, and
  • Excellence.

Our Core Values set the framework for how we work together to achieve outstanding outcomes for our
customers and our community.

Our values guide us in clearly defining and communicating:

  • How we do things at the Shire;
  • How we make decisions in the best interests of the community we serve; and
  • How we hold ourselves and each other accountable the highest standards of performance and conduct.

Our Values set our organisational culture and articulate the shared behaviours we are all required to live by when making decisions in the course of our work.

In living our values, we build a collective culture committed to high performance, and send a clear message to our colleagues and our community about how we go about our business.
