Our priorities for the next four years

Council Plan and Community Vision

The main documents that guide our work are the:

  • Council Plan
  • Long-Term Financial Plan
  • Asset Plan
  • Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan.

Every four years, we need to create a new Council Plan to guide us on what we do and how we do it, and we review the Long-Term Financial and Asset plans to make sure they are supporting our community.

For the first time we have also created a Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan to help promote long-term health and wellbeing for everyone.

These documents are supported by the Community Vision. The Community Vision was first created in 2018, it is your vision to help guide our Council Plan.

Given these documents guide our work, it is important that everyone who wants to, has the opportunity to provide feedback.

This is certainly true of our updated Community Vision. Last year residents provided some suggestions to strengthen the Community Vision so it reflects all parts of our community.

So while you're here, please tell us what you think about the new Community Vision:

"A sustainable, vibrant city where history is acknowledged, differences are respected, and diverse communities are supported to connect and thrive."

What do you think?

Future housing

A new Housing Strategy

Council is creating a new Housing Strategy to help us plan for housing in the right locations.

Last year we heard from our community that we should prioritise green and open space and being close to public transport when considering new housing. We also heard that being close to transport and shops, along with affordable housing, were important.

If you have some time right now, we have a question for you below.

Want more information?

We have created a discussion paper to help with our new Housing Strategy. You can view the discussion paper and complete a short survey here.

Feedback closes midnight Sunday 20 July 2025.

Join us at the Youth Housing Workshop!

We want to hear your thoughts on future housing - join us at Phoenix Youth Centre on Wednesday 16 July from 4-5:30pm.
