Council Plan 2025-2029

Project Overview

We have consulted widely in preparing our Council Plan 2025-2029, with a commitment to providing the services and infrastructure needed for our community to flourish at the forefront of our planning. We are pleased to present this draft for community comment.

  • Draft Council Plan 2025-2029 - Community Consultation

    We want to know if you agree that our Draft Council Plan is the right plan to guide Council for the next four years. Feedback can be submitted until 04 June 2025.

The Council Plan draft was developed in collaboration with our community and provides a vision and roadmap to guide Council’s service delivery, activities and decision making over the next four years.

Extensive consultation via surveys, 1:1 community sessions, pop-up information sessions and less formal feedback opportunities occurred throughout the shire. Council had in depth conversations with those who attended workshops to help develop our vision and objectives for 2025-2029, and these were refined with our Councillors who also helped create measurable actions from our objectives that form the Council Plan.
