Forward Advocacy Plan

The Forward Advocacy Plan has been developed to clearly articulate and gain consensus on a forward advocacy agenda that comprises both project and policy-oriented advocacy actions in a single document.

The Forward Advocacy Plan outlines the strategic context to advocacy at Northern Grampians Shire Council. It connects the advocacy priorities to the Shire Vision 2021-41 and then identifies advocacy actions related to these and the council goals in the Council Plan 2021-25.

Forward Advocacy Plan Advocacy Priorities and Action

Forward Advocacy Plan

The Forward Advocacy Plan provides the Northern Grampians Shire community and all levels of government with an up-to-date insight into what council's project and policy driven advocacy looks like so as to enable a more active role in advocacy to be achieved.

Each advocacy action is accompanied by an Advocacy One Pager which summarises the context, data and/or intended outcomes, related council strategies, and funding ask (where appropriate).

The Forward Advocacy Plan and Advocacy One Pager are available to download from this page.
