The Strategic Community Plan (SCP) is the most important document a local government possesses as it outlines the visions, objectives and priorities of the community. All services provided by the City are linked to the SCP to ensure we are working on things that the community wants.

It's important to keep the Strategic Community Plan up to date to ensure that the work we do continues to be in line with the visions and priorities of the community. Every local government must have a Strategic Community Plan in accordance with the Local Government Act 1995 (s. 5.56) and the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 (19C).

‘City Vision’ is the public participation project with an aim to understand the community’s future needs and aspiration, and to deliver a Strategic Community Plan that is functional, measurable and genuinely informed by the community.

We have developed a community engagement program that takes into account that our community has different levels of capacity, both in time and interest, simply choose a City Vision adventure that best suits you.
