What is a Community Plan?

A Community Plan is community-led strategy that reflects the aspirations of our whole community.

Our new draft Community Plan is designed to be a living, progressive plan that will help shape how we work together to achieve our vision.

Why are we reviewing our Community Plan?

Within two years of a Local Government election Council must review its Strategic Plan. A refresh of our strategic plan (Community Plan) was undertaken in 2020, however, a major review has not been undertaken since 2016.

Our local, national and international environment has changed dramatically in the last few years, and it is in the current context a comprehensive review of our strategic plan is required. The Local Government elections were finalised in November 2022, and we have now begun the process to review, update and finalise our next plan.

Working locally and regionally

Once we have our Community Vision and Community Plan we will be ready to focus on new opportunities to partner with our community, businesses, State Government, regional partners, and others.

What is the next step?

Our new draft Community Vision document is now ready for you to read and comment on. Your feedback will inform the finalisation of our Community Vision. Consultation closes on Monday 29 April 2024.
