Draft Community Plan 2025-2034
The Advancing Our Region Community Plan sets out the vision and goals for our region. It is a 10-year plan that aims to clearly identify the community’s main priorities and future aspirations, and the strategies required to achieve them.
This plan is not Armidale Regional Council’s plan, it is our community’s plan - and responsibility to deliver the Plan rests with the entire community including Council, other levels of government, community organisations, industry, residents and ratepayers.
Armidale Regional Council is the caretaker of the ‘Advancing our Region Community Plan’ (the Plan) and ensures it is developed with, and on behalf of, the community, but we all have a role to play in delivering the Plan and making our region the best it can be.
The Plan has been shaped by over 1,800 community contributions gathered during a 2021 engagement program, and an additional 72 contributions collected during the 2024 Community Plan review engagement program. The goals and strategies of this Plan are guided by the feedback that was received in 2021 and 2024, this ensures that the future directions of the community align with its aspirations
As per the Local Government Act the council must review the Community Strategic Plan before 30 June in the year following an ordinary election of council. The council may endorse the existing plan, or develop and endorse a new Community Strategic Plan, as appropriate, to ensure that the area has a Community Strategic Plan covering at least the next 10 years.
