Our community outcomes take a whole-of-community view - we can't achieve the outcomes by ourselves. It will require empowering communities and collaborating with other agencies.

The Council has reviewed its community outcomes and produced a more streamlined set of 17 outcomes under four strategic themes. This will provide clear direction to the organisation and help ensure the community outcomes can be easily and accurately measured and monitored
