Council strives to support our region to be inclusive, supportive, inspiring, healthy and progressive by providing the services and support that allow our community members to engage in the interests they enjoy, while having access to the services they need.

When we live in harmonious communities we feel safe and welcome, trust and respect each other, volunteer more and work cooperatively towards common community goals.

We want to live in well serviced neighbourhoods that provide access and equity to even our most vulnerable community members.

A changing demographic profile, increasing community expectation, limited resources and competing priorities have all put pressure on existing community networks and Council services. The challenge ahead is how we adapt to the changing requirements of our evolving community whilst continuing to provide essential social services in an equitable and affordable manner.
