Bundaberg Regional 2031 Review
Council is undertaking a review of our Bundaberg Region 2031 document and we need your feedback.
The Bundaberg Region 2031 project was created in 2011 in an effort to
define and strategically plan the Bundaberg Region's community vision
for the future.
PLEASE NOTE: Submissions close 28 February 2014
Bundaberg Region 2031 is Bundaberg Regional Council's long-term Community Plan.
Completed and adopted by Council on 22nd March 2011, Bundaberg Region 2031 outlines our desired vision, goals, strategies and key actions. Covering a period of twenty years, the document is a high-level aspirational plan that articulates our desired long term future and strategies to realise our vision.
What is the Community Plan?
The community plan is effectively a strategic plan at a local community level, determining how we achieve the best results for our community, and how we can ensure our services and facilities continueto meet our region's needs.
The community plan includes the Bundaberg region's preferred future or vision, outlining how our residents see a desirable lifestyle for their community in twenty years, and identifies broad strategies and goals under a range of topics or themes, as well as key actions we collectively need to implement in order to achieve those goals.
Essentially, the community plan visualises the region we'd like to call home in 2031. For this reason, we've called the community plan Bundaberg Region 2031.
How was the Community Plan developed and our planning review process?
During 2010, our
community and business leaders were involved in community consultative workshops and the use of a online survey to seek feedback and ideas to develop the
plan. The plan was completed in and adopted by Council in March 2011.
The plan is very
important document as it also guides the development and content of Councils
operational planning documents such as its Corporate Plan and
Long Term Asset Management plan.
To ensure that the Bundaberg
Region 2031 Plan objectives and strategies remain consistent with the views of
our community and other stakeholders, a scheduled review of the plan will be
undertaken in February 2014 . This
process will involve a number of meetings with community members and business
leaders. For those people who are unable
to attend the community meetings, an on-line survey will also be available to
record your comments.
Corporate and Long-Term Asset Management Plans
The Local Government Act 2009 requires Council to prepare various
planning and accountability documents including a Long-Term Asset Management Plan.
