The Pilbara Regional Waste Management Facility, just 40km from Onslow, is a new regional waste management facility for Australia's North West.

Tom Price Skate Park provides a positive hub for our youth community and is an important piece of infrastructure in the heart of town.

The Shire of Ashburton have committed $250,000 to upgrade the much loved facility, with funding partner Rio Tinto also committing $400,000 to the upgrade and additional funding is currently being sought through Building Better Regions Funding.

Work will start on delivering the first stage of a planned $20 million upgrade of recreational boating facilities at Onslow in October 2021.

The Shire of Ashburton is currently developing a Community Lifestyle and Infrastructure Plan (CLIP) for Tom Price and Paraburdoo to look at how infrastructure can be improved and how life within the towns can be enhanced in the future. The CLIP will be the fundamental guiding document to shape the future of Tom Price and will also identify opportunities for the future of Paraburdoo.

The Onslow Foreshore Promenade Masterplan will play an important role for the future of Onslow and the community.

The Shire of Ashburton is developing a new Youth Strategy in partnership with the Youth Affairs Council of WA (YACWA).  

All levels of government develop Disability Access and Inclusion Plans (DAIP) to outline how their communities can better access its services, premises and facilities, and how it will support increased opportunities for inclusion and independence. This is a requirement of the Disability Services Act 1993. 

Having good access benefits everyone, not just people living with disability but also their families and carers, the elderly, people from different cultures and where English isn’t their first language, those struggling with stairs and door handles as well as people using prams. 

The DAIP assists in planning for improvements that help the whole community.
