The first phase of the Newman Futures project focused on quick wins and setting the foundations for future possibilities. Phase two builds on this and seeks to prioritise education, liveability, housing and enterprise under the workstreams identified in 2019.
From the beginning of Newman Futures all stakeholders agreed that in order to deliver improved liveability, education and employment outcomes for the whole community, a holistic approach was required.
The 2025 – 2027 Roadmap reflects the continued need for a systems approach to create a thriving and equitable community. It also builds on the key learning from the first phase, sustained and positive outcomes can only be delivered by a collaborative approach.
The Newman community has embraced the need for new pathways to build the foundations for a more secure economy.
The delivery of this plan will require the input of many and will be underpinned by the already strong collaboration taking place in Newman through the: District Leadership Group; the Newman Interagency Group; the Youth Interagency Network and other local groups.
Along with the efforts of the many local entities including Karlka Nyiyaparli Aboriginal Corporation, Jamukurnu Yapalikurnu Aboriginal Corporation, Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa, Martumilli, Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service, Newman Chamber of Commerce, The Shire of East Pilbara, local schools, community groups, government service agencies, other not for profits and local businesses.
