FAQs
What is a Council Plan?
Our Council Plan guides Council’s direction with a vision and mission and priority goals for Manningham to be delivered over a four year period.
Priorities are organised into themes and goals. Under each goal, actions are developed as well as measures for success. The Council Plan themes cover the areas of our community, environment, economy, places and spaces and governance. At Manningham our approach is to consider every goal from the angle of every theme. This way we can optimise the outcomes for Manningham.
What kind of things do the Council Plan themes relate to?
Some examples of the things considered as part of each of the themes our Council Plan covers are outlined below:
Environment - things like our air, water, energy, biodiversity, climate change, waste
Places and spaces - such as buildings, housing, facilities, roads, pathways and transport, parks and open spaces, green wedge
Community - this includes community connections, learning and recreation, safety, participation, leisure and entertainment
Governance - this covers council leadership, efficiency, governance and performance
Economy - including employment, local business, activity centers and shops, tourism
