We want to make Glen Eira better for everyone. It’s important for us to achieve a shared vision for the future, a community vision. To help us achieve this we use strategies and plans.
Strategies and plans
Our strategies and plans work together
Let’s start with the Community Vision. The Community Vision was created by our community, for our community. It acts as the big picture for the next 20 years; representing the future of Glen Eira, and how we will get there.
Our Community Vision allows us to develop our Council Plan, which acts as a four-year roadmap. It helps us figure out the best ways to make improvements, provide great services, and work closely with the community. The Council Plan contains five main priorities (called strategic directions) that guide our efforts. For example strategic direction 4 is: A green and sustainable community.
Our strategies and plans are connected to these strategic directions. Strategies and plans act as our to-do lists – they give us more details about what we want to achieve for the community, and how we’ll do it.
To make sure everything we do aligns with our Community Vision and Council Plan, we have an Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework. This Framework keeps us on track to our shared vision for the future.
