NLC Strategic Plan Review
Consultation has concluded
Community feedback has now closed on Council's new Draft Strategic Plan, and we thank you for your input.
The new Strategic Plan has been drafted from the first phase of community consultation which involved Focus Group and Community Meetings, Elected Member workshops and submissions on what the community identifies as new priorities for the future.
You can read through the Draft Strategic Plan in the Documents library on this page - it's currently presented in 'content only' format and it will be graphically designed in its final stages.
Councils are required to undertake a major review of their Strategic Plan within two years following a Local Government Election.
The new Strategic Plan will set the vision, outcomes, and key actions for the future and help inform Council’s Long-Term Financial Plan and Asset Management Plans.
The first phase of consultation has identified 6 key Strategic Directions for 2023-2033 and Priority Actions for 2023-2028.
