Council Plan 2009-2013

The Council Plan is the key strategic document that guides the provision of services alongside Council’s Budget. The four pillars of the plan are: Environment, Community, Liveability and Prosperity.  The Council Plan is now in its third year of implementation and is reviewed annually in consultation with the community to ensure it reflects current and future priorities.
