Developing our new Community Vision and Council Plan
We need your feedback to develop our new Council Plan 2025-2029 and update our Community Vision.
The Council Plan and Community Vision reflect the voice, experiences, ideas and aspirations of our whole community. Community input is vital to ensure our resources are focused on the areas that matter most. Your views and feedback will also help to inform the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan and 10 Year Financial Plan.
Thank you to everyone who completed a survey, a kids activity sheet, attended a workshop or spoke to the team at an event. We're reviewing your feedback, and developing our draft plan now.
