2021-2025 Council Plan Goals

To ensure council works cohesively and effectively, we have identified eight clear strategic goals to achieve over the next four years. These are endorsed in our 2021-2025 Council Plan and provide the community with a transparent roadmap for council's priorities for the term. These goals also align with council's 20-year Community Vision, which you can read more about here.

It is also worth noting, planning is currently underway for the development of our next council plan iteration, the 2025-2029 Council Plan, with several community engagement opportunities scheduled across February and March 2025. We encourage everyone to get involved and ensure their voice is heard. Please click here to read more about how you can provide feedback.
