Have your say

Help shape the next four years - Council's roadmap ahead

Have your say on Council's suite of key planning documents that will guide how Council services are delivered over the next four years.

Council has developed eight planning documents that will guide the way services are delivered over the next four years.

The Delivery Plan outlines the services and projects Council will provide, the stakeholders we will collaborate with and the advocacy we will undertake to other levels of government on behalf of our community. Council’s Delivery Plan is our response to the aspirations and objectives included in the Community Strategic Plan 2042.

The Delivery Plan is supported by the Long Term Financial Plan, Workforce Strategy, Digital Services Strategy and Strategic Asset Management Plan. Our annual Fees and Charges and Revenue Policy outline how we will collect funds to deliver the projects and services we have planned. All of these documents are developed as part of Councils obligations under the Local Government Act 1993 and the Integrated Planning and Reporting framework.

We really encourage everyone to take a few minutes to have a look and let us know what you think. It’s your chance to be involved in creating a future we can all be proud of. These plans outline how your rates and Council resources will be used, and we know there is a lot to consider.

We will be holding a range of community meetings in May to share details on key projects and priorities and hear your feedback on what we have planned.

Copies of each document are available under the Documents on exhibition section to the right of this page, and hard copies are available for review at our customer service centre in Bega and our libraries across the shire.

We welcome your feedback and if you have any questions, please reach out through one of the channels listed below.

We also have some handy FAQ’s below.
