The strategic plan provides direction and focus for Council and identifies the Council’s objectives for the district. 

The Strategic Plan outlines the “who, what and how” to implement Council’s objectives.  The plan provides direction on results that are to be achieved and establishes a course of action for achieving them.

Under section 122 of the Local Government Act council must develop and adopt a strategic management plan. 

Community input is being sought as it’s important that the Strategic Plan reflects the views of the community.

The Local Government Act requires that Council must ensure that members of the public are given a reasonable opportunity to be involved in the development and review of its strategic management plan.
