Strategic Planning
Strategic Community Plan
This plan identifies key strategic projects and goals for our community that have been identified through community consultation and appraisal by Councillors.
We extensively review this plan every 4 years in collaboration and engagement with our community.
The current SCP has been developed after our first ‘benchmarking analysis’ (Community Scorecard Report) which allowed our service delivery to be rated by our community to assist identify key areas of improvement and future priorities.
