Corporate Plan

Corporate Plan 2025-2030(PDF, 9MB)

A legislative requirement, the Corporate Plan guides how Council prioritises and delivers services, programmes and facilities to the community over the next five years. It is also the core strategic document that helps Council set its annual Budget and Operational Plan.   The Corporate Plan 2025-2030 was adopted by Council on Wednesday 21 May 2025, Resolution Number 2025/448.

The Corporate Plan is a living document where its success lies in having conversations with our communities to ensure that Council’s goals align with the needs and priorities of our people and community.

In this plan, we are focusing on the outcomes that will make the biggest transformation for the South Burnett in the medium term – from the environment through to the economy, our community and our organisation.

The new document is Council’s fifth five-year corporate plan since the original Corporate Plan was adopted in 2009 after the then amalgamation. The five outcome areas and long-term goals identified in the current Corporate Plan are:

1. ENHANCING LIVEABILITY AND LIFESTYLE - Elevate the South Burnett region to be recognised as a “Region of choice”;
2. PROVIDING KEY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OUR TOWNS AND VILLAGES - Develop, renew and maintain community infrastructure through sound asset management principles;
3. GROWING OUR REGION’S ECONOMY AND PROSPERITY - Boost our economy through investment and innovation that promotes population growth and community wellbeing;
4. SAFEGUARDING OUR ENVIRONMENT - A sustainable environment, proactively and responsibly managed in partnership with the community for future generations; and
5. ORGANISATIONAL EXCELLENCE - An organisation that is characterised by effective leadership, responsible management, good governance and quality service delivery.

The South Burnett Regional Council acknowledges the traditional custodians of country in the South Burnett region - the Wakka Wakka and Auburn Hawkwood/Wulli Wulli People. We also acknowledge the cultural diversity of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, elders past and present and the significant contribution Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People have made and continue to make to shaping the identity of the South Burnett and Australia.
