Campaspe Shire Council has today released two key documents, now open for community comment.
Mayor, Cr Chrissy Weller said the four year draft Council Plan sets the strategic direction and the ten year draft Financial Plan describes the financial resources required to support the Council Plan and other key strategic documents.
"Our Council Plan sets our commitment to the community, outlines what will be delivered, how it will be delivered, and how progress will be measured," Cr Weller said.
"Developing a Council Plan is a requirement of every new Council and has been shaped by the community engagement process we started in January through the 'Campaspe: Thriving Together' program."
The strategic directions of the Council Plan are:
- Well planned places
- Growing quality of life
- Flourishing diverse local economies
- Resilient protected and healthy natural environment
The Council Plan also acknowledges that Council is unable to achieve everything working in isolation, it must work in partnership, advocate or lobby on behalf of the community and lead others.
Also out for comment is the Financial Plan, a new document required by the Local Government Act 2020.
"The Financial Plan links to the achievement of the community vision and the Council Plan," the Mayor added.
Community comments close on Wednesday, 22 September, with both documents to be presented to the 20 October Council meeting for adoption.
Full details and a quick online comment form are available on Council's website, under the 'Now Open' section.
