| Strategic Community Plan 2019-2029 |
The Strategic Community Plan was developed in 2013 in partnership with the Goomalling community through a series of surveys, focus groups and public forums. The aim of this long-term plan is to be a guide for Council's business planning and service delivery to reflect the aspirations and values of our community. Council undertook a major review in 2018, with Councillors, staff and the community having their chance to provide their comments. The current version of the plan was adopted by Council in June 2019 with view to review again after the 2019 LG elections. |

Local Emergency Management Arrangement (LEMA).pdf

The purpose of this plan is to ensure that appropriate strategies are in place to minimise the adverse effects on the community and ensure the best possible outcomes are delivered in the long term. It identifies possible natural and technological hazards, and documents the roles and responsibilities of authorities and stakeholders involved in emergency management.
