Edward River Council is pleased to announce the finalisation and adoption of two cornerstone documents that will guide its operations and priorities over the coming years -the 2025-26 Operational Plan & Budget and the 2025-2029 Delivery Program.
These documents represent a strong and practical foundation for Council's future planning, translating community aspirations into clear actions and financial commitments.
The Delivery Program outlines Council's strategic direction across five key themes -Communities, Natural Environments, Built Environments, Economy, and Leadership. The Operational Plan and Budget detail the specific projects and services to be delivered in the next financial year.
Mayor of Edward River Council, Ashley Hall expressed gratitude to the community for their involvement:
"We sincerely thank all community members who took the time to review the draft documents and share their feedback during the exhibition period earlier this year. Your input has helped shape a robust and responsive plan for our region's future."
Council Chief Executive Officer, Jack Bond added:
"With these plans now adopted, we have a clear and confident roadmap to guide our work. We're committed to delivering high-quality services and infrastructure while maintaining strong financial stewardship."
The adopted plans reflect extensive consultation, collaboration, and careful planning, and will serve as the guiding framework for all Council activities through to 2029.
