What is the Community Plan

The Community Plan - together with Council’s asset management plans, Annual Business Plan and 10-year Financial Management Plan - addresses the Council’s obligations under the Local Government Act.

The ‘Community Plan 2030’ is an aspirational document that will guide Council action over the next five to 10 years. It builds on the previous plan, ‘City of West Torrens ‘Towards 2025’ Community Plan’ (2017), by considering present challenges and societal trends, changing lifestyles and demographics.

Development of the document included extensive community consultation and reflects the key priorities of the people who live, work, study and play in West Torrens or who visit the Council area.
