WARRA is not party political and is a not for profit organisation currently resourced by volunteers only.

Donations are voluntary and much needed and so will be gratefully accepted.

“Of the people, by the people, for the people”

Abraham Lincoln, “Gettysburg Address” (19th November 1863)

The mission of the West Australian ratepayers and residents’ association incorporated is to advocate on behalf of and represent the community of Western Australia (metropolitan and country). As the peak community representative, it will establish changes in legislation, policies and procedures. These changes will set mandatory standards for open community consultation, communication, excellence in governance, accountability and transparency in Local Government Authorities.
