The Strategic Community Plan outlines the long-term vision (usually 10+ years), values, aspirations and priorities for a local government. The Plan is the highest-level document that a local government will prepare and should make reference to the local government’s plans, information and resourcing capabilities. 

The main objectives of the Strategic Community Plan are to:

• Establish the community’s vision for the local government’s future, including aspirations and service expectations.
• Drives the development of local government area/place/regional plans, resourcing and other informing strategies
• Ultimately be a driver for all planning

Following extensive community consultation undertaken in 2017, the community’s and City’s aspirational vision for 2017-2027 is:

Connected Communities, Valuing Nature and Creating the Future Together

The State Governments Integrated planning and reporting framework sets requirements for the development and review of strategic community plans. As part of the process, local governments are also required under the Local Government Act 1995 to undergo a minor review every two years and a full review every four years.

The Strategic Community Plan is an important plan that has an impact on everyone. The City would like to engage in multiple conversations with as many people in the community, so that we can identify the vision for what the future City could look like over the next four (4) years.

The City is calling for everyone to be involved and be part of the ‘think-tank’. There are several ways community members can get involved:

The purpose of the workshops will be to reflect on the City’s performance and past achievements and identify the vision and values for the community for the next four years.
