WA Executive Council and National Justice Reports Headline Busy Tuesday for Perth Government

WA Executive Council Convenes and National Reports Released in Busy Day for Perth Governance

Tuesday, 3 February 2026, marks a significant day for political and administrative activity in Western Australia, with key sessions ranging from high-level executive meetings to the release of critical national performance data affecting the state's justice and emergency systems.

Executive Council Meeting Commences

The Western Australian Executive Council is scheduled to meet this morning at 9:00 am. This session follows the submission deadline of January 28 and serves as a formal mechanism for the state government to process administrative orders and appointments. While these meetings are standard procedure, they remain a cornerstone of the government’s weekly operations, ensuring that legislative and executive functions are ratified and implemented across the state.

National Performance Data on Justice and Emergency Services

Today also sees the progressive release of the 2026 Report on Government Services (RoGS) by the Productivity Commission. Scheduled for public release tonight at 7:30 pm local time, the latest data focuses on Part C (Justice) and Part D (Emergency Management). This report is highly anticipated by Perth policymakers as it provides a detailed benchmark on the efficiency and effectiveness of the state’s police, courts, and corrective services, as well as fire and emergency responses. The findings are expected to influence budget discussions and reform agendas in the coming months as the state evaluates its performance against national averages.

Local Government and Community Sessions

In the greater Perth region, the Shire of Gingin is hosting its Annual Meeting of Electors this evening at 6:00 pm at the Gingin Administration Centre. This meeting offers residents a formal platform to review the Shire’s annual report and engage directly with local representatives on regional development and community concerns. Such meetings are critical for local governance, providing a bridge between council decisions and public oversight.

Infrastructure and Innovation Developments

Beyond formal meetings, the state government has highlighted the commencement of site works at the new Perth Park precinct this week. The $217.5 million project at Burswood Park is a major infrastructure priority, intended to host world-class sporting and cultural events. Additionally, several state-backed innovation webinars are taking place today, focusing on low-carbon fuels and green metals as part of Western Australia's broader economic diversification strategy. Together, these events underscore a day of heavy administrative and strategic focus for the Perth metropolitan area and the state at large.
