Corporate Plan 2018 / 2023
Council has now commenced the development of a new Corporate Plan 2018/2023. The Corporate Plan is a legislative requirement under section 104 of the Local Government Act 2009. To provide some understanding, the plan states Council’s strategic direction and the performance indicators for measuring Council’s progress in achieving our community vision over the five (5) year period. Further, the Corporate Plan is used to develop Council’s Annual Operational Plans and budgets for the period covered by the plan.
Council will make available the draft plan for community consultation from the 1st to the 28th of February 2018. During February, Council will host information awareness sessions as follows:
- Blackbutt Community Hall at 3:00pm on Thursday 8th
- Nanango Cultural Centre at 5:30pm on Thursday 8th
- Wondai Town Hall at 12:00pm on Thursday 15th
- Murgon Town Hall at 3:00pm on Thursday 15th
- Kingaroy Town Hall Supper Room at 6:00pm on Thursday 15th
We understand that there will be a number of people who will be unable to attend one of the scheduled sessions; therefore Council will also provide the draft plan for review on Council’s website during February. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage local community and business organisations who would like to discuss the draft corporate plan to invite their local Councillors to come along to one of their meetings in February.
