Feedback Sought On Corporate Plan

October 31, 2018

Toowoomba Regional Council is inviting Yarraman and Cooyar residents to comment on a draft version of the Toowoomba Region 2019-2024 Corporate Plan this month.

Mayor Paul Antonio said the new plan would direct Council’s work for the next five years.

“The plan will set out Council’s five-year vision to 2024 and outline how we plan to support a safe, healthy and engaged region,” he said.

“The plan will include a vision, mission statement, goals and actions to ensure the region’s future meets the needs and expectations of the community.

“It will provide direction for Council as an organisation and guide decision-making, allocation of resources and actions of Councillors and staff.

“The strategic actions identified in the Plan will form the basis of Council’s annual Operational and Financial Plans.”

Finance and Business Strategy Committee chairman Cr Mike Williams said the draft had been developed through feedback received during the life of the 2014-2019 Corporate Plan, a review of existing Council policies and strategies, outcomes of a 2015 regional branding exercise and results of the 2017 Community Survey.

“We are now seeking community feedback,” he said.

“Community feedback will be used to guide the development of the final plan adopted by Council in early 2019.

“I urge everyone to share their thoughts and ideas on the draft plan by attending one of the community workshops happening around the region this month.

“A draft version of the Plan will be available online and in hard copy at Council’s Customer Service Centres from Thursday (November 1).”

The Yarraman workshop will be held from 6:00-7:30pm on Wednesday, November 28, at the Yarraman Memorial Hall in Browne Street.

Registrations are essential to attend and close two days before each event. To register, click here or phone the TRC on (07) 4688-8614.
