Mackay Regional Council has made some minor amendments to its Corporate Plan and the draft is now open for two weeks for public comment.
Mayor Greg Williamson said extensive community engagement had been done in preparation for the previous Corporate Plan 2022-2027.
He said the new council, after being elected at the March local government elections, reviewed that existing plan.
“The council decided that the Corporate Plan, a legislative requirement that sets our strategic direction for five years, is serving the organisation well, and it decided to undertake a desktop review to make minor amendments.
“Councillors decided against a complete revamp, which would have been a lengthy and costly exercise.”
Mayor Williamson said the new Corporate Plan 2024-2029, once adopted, would align better with the local government election cycle.
“A new council elected in 2028 will have 12 months to review the Corporate Plan and prepare a new one,’’ he said.
The draft Corporate Plan 2024-2029 can be viewed at council’s community engagement website connectingmackay.com.au
Copies are also available at libraries and council’s customer service centres.
Councillors will also undertake some public consultation through their Strategic Advisory Committees.
The draft Corporate Plan is open for public comment until October 9.
Any feedback will be taken onboard, with the new Corporate Plan 2024-2029 scheduled to be adopted at a council meeting later this year.
