Mayor Allan Sutherland said the corporate plan was like a “road map” for council, because it outlined a strategic direction for the future.
“Its importance is that it will shape how we develop and cater for a rapidly expanding population while retaining the values our residents say are important,” he said.
Cr Sutherland said the plan, which will assist decision making and policy development within council, takes into account local and regional issues, growth management and sustainability issues.
“Because our operations have a direct impact on ratepayers, we’d like them to look at our draft corporate plan and have some input into how this region takes shape,” he said.
“We’re still a new organisation and we’d welcome residents’ feedback on a range of services and initiatives council plans to deliver.
“This plan will help shape everything from how we formulate budgets to what environmental policies we develop.
“It will help us plan for future infrastructure and services. If you don’t plan for these things, you just won’t have them in the future.”
Once the period for public comment closes, council will amend its plan before it is put to councillors for adoption at a general meeting.
