We are delighted to present community with the Draft 2025 Community Vision Update and our Draft 2025-2029 Council Plan for your review and feedback.

• The 20-year Community Vision, first developed in 2020, is driven and owned by the community, with Council having facilitated its development, the vision outlines our community's wants and needs across five themes – Community, Leadership, Economy, Place and Environment.
• The 2025 update of the Community Vision is now available for public comment.
• The Council Plan is our most important strategic document, outlining what Council will focus on for the next four years, ensuring what we do today is aligned with realising your 20-year Community Vision.

More than 3,000 people shared their ideas through the extensive consultation process designed to hear from as many community members as possible, capturing the voices of our vast and richly diverse municipality.

We understand that the community continues to face challenges, including cost of living pressures, and it is our goal to present a clear vision for the future – one that ensures everyone has access to opportunities to thrive and enjoy all our region has to offer.

The Council Plan is structured around the same five strategic directions set by the Community Vision - Environment, Community, Place, Economy and Leadership, the Council Plan identifies the outcomes, initiatives and strategies along with indicators we will use to measure our success and progress.
