FuturesPlan20

FuturesPlan20 is a 20 year vision developed through consultation and discussion with community members, stakeholders and industry experts interested in having a say about the City's future. Adopted in 2008, FuturesPlan20 ensures our City and its people can respond in a positive and constructive way to the challenges ahead. FuturesPlan20 defines a sustainable direction for our City and sets out a strategic path on which we will seek to travel every year for the next 20 years.

FuturesPlan20 sets out the long term path on which our City will seek to travel for the next 20 years. The plan is divided into seven key themes:

• An Engaged City
• A Green City
• A Healthy City
• A Liveable City
• A Moving City
• A Prosperous City
• A Vibrant City.

Within the Plan, each theme is a distinct chapter and includes:

• An outline of what we want for the future of our City and a picture of what this will feel like
• An overview of what is currently happening in relation to this theme and relevant information about our City and what Council is currently doing in relation to this theme
• An overview of community views about this theme, as provided during consultation
• Consideration of the projected trends, needs and opportunities affecting that theme and the broader global trends which will affect and influence the way we do things in our City
• Outcome statements, matched with broad directions we will take to create our vision for the City.

The themes are closely connected and should not be viewed in isolation. Together these seven themes and the broad directions they contain determine the priorities for our City and the services and projects Council must deliver over the next 20 years.
