The intent of the community plan is that it will represent the community’s views, visions and values for the future of the local government area, and set a strategic vision for what the community wants the area to be like in 10, 20 or more years.

This plan has been prepared after consideration of the following (as amended) pieces of legislation and plans:

•  Local Government Act 2009

•  Queensland Sustainable Planning Act 2009

•  Local Government (Finance, Plans and Reporting) Regulation 2009

•  Local Government Finance Standard 2005

•  Queensland Integrated Planning Act 1997

The Corporate plan will then state how the Community plan will be implemented.
