Social / Community Plan
Council has completed and adopted its Social Community Plan and it can be accessed by clicking on the downloadable document at the bottom of this page.
Under the Local Government (General) Regulation 1999 Council must at least once every 5 years develop a Social/Community plan.
A social/community plan must identify and address the needs of the local community by:
- describing who makes up the community
- summarising key priority issues
- assessing the effectiveness of any previous plans
- recommending strategic ways for council and other government and non-government agencies to met community needs
The plan must be based on social justice principles such as
- Equity - fairness in resource distribution
- Access - fairer access for everyone
- Rights - recognition and promotion of civil rights
- Participation - better opportunities for everyone to participate in decisions
The plan must identify and address the needs of seven target groups
- children
- young people
- woman
- people with disabilities
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- People from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
Council may also include any other groups identified in the community as having special needs.
