Strategic Plan 2024 - 2028
Background
Our Strategic Plan 2024–2028 envisions the City of Mount Gambier continuing to partner with our communities to build on the strength of our landscape and connections, shaping a sustainable future. Together, we will elevate the city’s prominence, ignite new opportunities, and ensure a thriving, liveable environment for all.
The Plan responds directly to the community's vision - Mount Gambier 2035 - addressing the needs and aspirations of those who live, work, study, or visit Mount Gambier. It reflects the core principles of Connection, Accessibility, and Sustainability, which the community has identified as essential to everything we do.
The Plan sets out the outcomes the community can expect from Council’s actions over the next four years, organised under six strategic priorities. Five of these priorities stem from the Mount Gambier 2035 Community Vision, while a sixth focuses on Council’s commitment to strong, accountable leadership and governance.
Under each strategic priority, the key aspirations and actions of Council have been structured as follows:
- What success looks like - the medium-term outcomes Council seeks to achieve or progress and contribute over the next four years.
- What Council will do - the specific actions Council will prioritise to support the achievement of the strategic outcomes over the next four years.
- Key Projects - the larger-scale initiatives and projects that will significantly contribute to achieving success. They represent areas of substantial investment or resource allocation.
At the end, a suite of strategic measures and indicators have been identified that we will use to monitor our performance against the Plan. Annually, we will report against these strategic measures and indicators, as well as provide progress updates against our key projects.
