South Burnett Regional Council is inviting feedback on its new draft Corporate Plan.

Mayor Brett Otto said all local governments in Queensland were required to produce a new Corporate Plan every five years, with the strategic document providing Councils with clear direction for decision-making on matters such as budget and resource prioritisation.

“Our draft Corporate Plan outlines South Burnett Regional Council’s priorities for the next five years,” Mayor Otto said.

“The new draft plan will be informed by what our community tells us is important.”

Mayor Otto said community feedback is essential to this plan and from previous strategic planning and policy programs engagements identified, community views and values have been taken into consideration.Consultation with divisional Councillors has also ensured community needs were addressed.

“This analysis and consultation highlighted that many of the community’s views have remained constant over recent years, and Council remains committed to delivering a Corporate Plan that provides clear direction for decisions about the natural environment, strong communities, a thriving economy, regional leadership, and Council as an effective and efficient organisation,” he said.

“We have a draft Corporate Plan for discussion and now we want to hear from the community on whether we have it right, with the final plan to include revisions based on what we hear back from the community,” he said.

“From Monday, 25 January 2021 the draft Corporate Plan will be available to view online, with the online survey available for feedback from Monday 1 February 2021. Simply visit Council’s website to have your say! Community engagement sessions will be held in February and March 2021… stay tuned for further details!

“I urge everyone to read the information available and have their say on the future of the South Burnett before consultation closes 5:00 pm Friday 5 March 2021.”
