Council has
noted the
Our Community Plan Quarterly Report for the September 2024 quarter.
The report
tracks the City's performance against
Our Community Plan 2021 - 25, the key
strategic document which determines the areas of focus and outcomes for the
organisation as it implements the 30-year community vision to make Greater
Geelong a clever and creative city-region.
Each year,
an Annual Action Plan is set, with the 2024 - 25 plan setting 58 actions, and
quarterly reports are released publicly to provide a transparent update on
performance in delivering the annual plan.
There are
four strategic directions guiding the organisation, centred around a healthy
and inclusive community, sustainable growth and environment, a strong local
economy and a high-performing council and organisation.
Of the 58
actions, 56 (96 per cent) are on track to be delivered.
Of the
remaining two actions, the review of the draft Early Years Infrastructure Plan
is on hold pending further state government consultation, while the Armstrong
Creek Community Garden is not proceeding following consultation with the
community group involved.
Geelong Mayor
Stretch Kontelj OAM:
As we
move through the 2024-25 year, there are many actions underway that make our
city-region a more clever and creative place.
I would
encourage Greater Geelong residents to learn more about our progress and
priorities via the Council’s website.
Deputy
Mayor Ron Nelson:
There's
something to improve Greater Geelong for everyone in the actions planned for
the 2024 - 25 year.
I look forward to sharing regular updates on the organisation's progress as we
deliver on the four strategic areas for our city-region.
