What are the key Council documents?

Council Plan: The Council Plan is our most important strategic document. The Council Plan informs all our work, decision making and strategic direction over the next 4 years. It also helps to make sure that our everyday work is aligned with realising the community’s 10-year vision.

For the first time, our Council Plan will also incorporate Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan so that improving and promoting our community’s health and wellbeing is at the centre of everything we do.

Under the Local Government Act 2020 - all councils must produce a Council Plan every four years.

Community Vision: Developed in collaboration with our community in 2021, the Community Vision describes the community’s aspirations for the future of the Shire until 2031. The Vision feeds directly into the Council Plan and is reflected in its goals and actions that will enable us to achieve the Community Vision.

10-year Financial Plan: A financially sustainable projection that connects how the actions of the Council Plan may be funded to achieve the aspirations in the Community Vision.

10-Year Asset Plan: A roadmap to ensure Council can effectively use our assets including Council buildings, transport assets, stormwater assets and open space.
