What our priorities are and how we are doing
Council's Corporate Plan
The Corporate Plan enables the whole organisation to work together in the same direction to address the key priorities for the community and achieve Council's vision. The Corporate Plan is a way for Council to communicate its direction with its stakeholders, particularly the community, and provides a framework for reporting back on progress achieved through the various activities on the organisation.
Our Values
Communication - We are H.O.T
Honest, Open & Two-way - It is the transaction of ideas, thought, information, facts & values between council, staff & community.
Fun - We laugh together, We work together
Work is only work if you make it so. In every job that must be done there is an element of fun.
Potential - We encourage growth
Giving everyone a chance to reach their full potential is the best work anyone can do.
Courage - We plan to succeed
Excuses for failure are not documented. Fear is not present because no one ever works alone. Change is constant, growth is optional.
Safety - We think, act & promote safety
Safety isn't a slogan it is a way of life.
Commitment - We are passionate & engaged
Commitment ignites our actions and drives our performance. It fuels our passion for a job well done.
