Federation Council is asking the community to help shape Future Federation 2024-2025 by providing input into its combined Delivery Program / Operational Plan and Annual Budget this May.
Council’s combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan is an important document that sets out Council’s action plan for achieving the community priorities outlined in the Community Strategic Plan (CSP). It identifies the projects, programs and activities that council will conduct to achieve the commitments of the Delivery Program. This is supported by the Annual Budget which outlines how Council will fund the delivery of services and projects to its community. It funds services like managing waste, maintaining infrastructure, community facilities and parks, operating libraries, events and services to people at all stages of life. This is ‘Future Federation 2024-2025’.
Federation Council Mayor, Cr Pat Bourke is encouraging everyone who lives, works, studies or visits the Federation Council region to be a part of this engagement opportunity.
“Feedback from our community is a critical component in supporting the development of these plans,” he said.
“Future Federation 2024 – 2025 will outline the way in which we deliver services and projects to our community and we are very keen to hear from all people who use our services, or plan to in the future. We want to hear people’s ideas and priorities so we can use those suggestions to develop our plans that will not only meet the needs of our community within Council’s financial capability, but also strengthen it.”
Mayor Bourke said community feedback is valuable in creating change and helping shape Future Federation 2024-2025.
“Much of our upcoming budget is committed to funding services, programs and infrastructure projects that were identified through the development of the Community Strategic Plan, and Council’s Long Term Financial Plan with you, our community. Through the engagement that informed the development of these plans, you told us what's important to you. Now we want to know how you think we should prioritise our actions and associated budget over the coming year as we continue to deliver on those plans.”
