The Council Plan represents a four-year road map for the Council and provides a guide to our strategic direction, objectives, and key strategies for the period 2021 - 2025 and the role that Council plays in achieving the Community Vision.

Each year the Council Plan is reviewed and updated as part of the budget process to reflect the progress made, initiatives implemented by Council, and to set the organisation’s strategic agenda for the next 12 months as we strive towards delivering a sustainable, healthy, and thriving Shire.
