At its most recent Council meeting, Council unanimously endorsed the Council Plan and Community Vision 2025 – 2029.
The Plan also includes the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan which was previously a separate standalone plan.
The Council Plan is a key document that outlines our goals and strategies for the next four years, while the Community Vision describes
what we want Latrobe City to be like in the next 10 years.
The Council Plan centres around the following strategic directions:
- Our Economy – investment, jobs, growth
- Our City – liveable, sustainable, connected
- Our Community – healthy, inclusive, safe
This is supported by our Organisation – leadership, collaboration, capability.
The Community Vision describes community aspirations that in 2036, Latrobe City is a vibrant, thriving, healthy, connected and welcoming regional community where everyone feels safe and involved.
Latrobe City Council Mayor, Councillor Dale Harriman, said Council is excited to implement the Plan and start seeing the community benefits.
“The Council Plan is all about the future of Latrobe City. That includes how we’re going to bring more investment into our local economy and create jobs, how we’ll support local businesses and strengthen the visitor economy,” said the Mayor.
“We will create vibrant city centres, strengthen waste management programs, and support physical and mental health through a range of programs and partnerships.
“The Council Plan and Community Vision was heavily shaped by our community; I thank everyone involved in the community engagement that informed the development of the Plan and Community Vision.
“The Plan has measurable key performance indicators which will be reported back to the community, to provide transparency of the progress of actions. I look forward to seeing the actions from the Plan come to life.”
