Our Guiding Principles

These are the principles that reflect our values and how we operate as we set our future direction:

  • We will strive to improve sustainability and community amenity.
  • We will be an agile and responsive organisation that can prosper in a rapidly changing environment.
  • We will put the customer and their experience at the centre of everything we do.
  • We will develop and invest in leaders that will challenge the status-quo in a real and authentic way.
  • We will continue to build and maintain strong relationships with the Transport portfolio to achieve better transport outcomes.
  • We will recognise and cultivate innovation to take up challenges and stay ahead.

Our Strategic Direction

Keeping WA Moving sets our strategic direction. To achieve our aspiration these four areas are about creating a focus on delivering value. These choices are based on the needs of our customers and stakeholders:

  • Customers – Provide a transport network centred on what our customers need and value
  • Movement – Improve mobility of people and the efficiency of freight
  • Sustainability – Develop a sustainable transport network that meets social, economic and environmental needs
  • Safety – Provide improved safety outcomes for all users of the transport network

Our Sustainable Approach

We consider sustainability in all our decision-making to ensure we manage, operate and develop a road transport system that meets the needs of today without compromising the natural, human and financial capital on which future generations will depend. Our Sustainability Policy and Strategy improves and strengthens the way we meet community needs and manage, operate and develop our business and employees.

We conduct an annual materiality analysis that draws from our corporate commitments, key business and environmental risks, legislated requirements, corporate stakeholder engagement processes and media and ministerial topics. This year’s review incorporated additional stakeholder engagement. The key topics can be found in the Sustainability section of our website.

A review of our current drivers for performance in sustainability will be undertaken during 2015-16 reflecting that Sustainability is a key component of Keeping WA Moving.
