The road map that will guide our work over the next four years has been released.
The draft Council & Wellbeing Plan 2025-29 spells out the goals, priorities and aspirations of our community as we work in partnership to make Kingston and an even better place. The draft Annual Action Plan 2025-26 outlines the specific actions we will take over the coming year to advance these objectives.
For the first time, our Council Plan also incorporates our Municipal Public Health & Wellbeing Plan, reinforcing the importance of health and wellbeing in everything we do.
Thousands of pieces of community feedback received through our liveability and health and wellbeing surveys, along with recommendations from our 48-person representative panel have played a key role in shaping the draft plan.
The newly elected council have been working together over the past months to define this new way forward.
Mayor Georgina Oxley said this plan represents our shared ambition for a city that is Healthy & Connected, Vibrant & Prosperous, Liveable & Sustainable, and Responsibly Governed.
"It sets a clear and strategic direction for Kingston, ensuring we continue to meet community needs while maintaining a responsible and sustainable approach," Cr Oxley said.
"We are prioritising fiscal responsibility to ensure value for rates, while continuing to meet community needs, delivering strong and lasting benefits for our residents.
"We recognise there will be challenges ahead, but we are committed to embracing opportunities as they arise, finding innovative solutions to support and strengthen our great city.
"Kingston is a unique, connected, and thriving place, and together, we are shaping a future where everyone belongs.
"I look forward to working with my fellow Councillors, Council staff, and our community to deliver the priorities set out in this plan and create a lasting legacy for future generations."
