Council has worked with our communities to develop a new long-term vision along with five pillars that provide our strategic direction for the next 20 years. This opportunity creates a renewed sense of responsibility and accountability to deliver on our commitments.

Success will require an integrated approach that links our vision, Corporate Plan, strategies, day-to-day operations and communications to achieve true results and value for our communities. It also requires Council to be resilient and open to more change as we implement our strategies and plans.

For our communities to be on the journey with us, we must be transparent and accountable in our actions through regular monitoring and reporting on our performance and success. There are opportunities to continue to improve how we measure our success and community benefit in the future.

We will continue to work collaboratively with others and advocate for projects we know our communities want and will maximise emerging opportunities for our region. Strong, consistent positions and awareness of our communities’ aspirations will help strengthen our advocacy capability, reputation, and community identity.
