Get Involved & Hold Our Council Accountable

ALWM is about ordinary Kwinana residents taking an interest in what happens in their community, how ratepayer money is spent and the decisions that affect the place we call home.

Here are some simple ways you can help.


📣 Spread the Word — It Only Takes Minutes

  • Follow us on Facebook: Stay updated on local council decisions, planning proposals, and community updates.
  • Like and comment on ALWM posts: Every comment, like, and reaction tells social media algorithms to push our messages out to more Kwinana residents.
  • Share our posts to local groups: Help reach neighbors who might not know what’s happening at Kwinana Council.
  • Share our website link: Send our site to friends, family, and local community groups so they can stay informed.
  • Post your support: Share your own thoughts on your personal page or local noticeboards to keep the conversation going.


🔎 Help Behind the Scenes

This might sound a bit daunting at first, but you won’t be thrown in the deep end.

You don’t have to be a researcher, computer expert or Council expert.

Council reports can run into hundreds of pages, and finding the important information can seem like hard work. We’ll show you how to use AI to scan and search large Council documents in seconds, helping you find information without having to read every page yourself.

Together, we can look through the paperwork and find costs, decisions and details that can easily get lost in lengthy Council documents.

You could help us:

  • Read Council agendas and reports and find the important information.
  • Look into planning decisions and DAP approvals.
  • Check Council spending, budgets and meeting minutes.
  • Search large documents for costs, contracts and decisions residents may otherwise miss.
  • Compare what Council says with what its own reports actually show.
  • Research an issue affecting Kwinana residents.
  • Help identify information buried deep inside lengthy documents and make it easier for ordinary people to understand.
  • Help with the website, emails or social media.
  • Point out something you’ve noticed that you think other residents should know about.

We’ll help you learn the tools.

The idea is simple: let technology do the heavy lifting, then let residents look at the information and make up their own minds.

Sometimes important information isn’t difficult to find — it’s simply sitting inside a 200-page Council document that very few people have the time to read.

That’s where we can help.
