Strategic Plans & Policies
A number of strategic plans have been developed to assist in managing Council's facilities across the region. Council reviews these plans on an annual basis to ensure they remain up to date and incorporate input from our community. Policies are used to provide a framework of activities and standards for this infrastructure.
Current Works Program
Council's program of works and recent achievements is presented online to provide current information on potential disruptions to services and to keep the community informed about delivery of the Council Management Plan.
