The plan, last updated in the 2021-22 year, is reviewed after every ordinary council election.
Murray River Council Mayor John Harvie said the document had been revised and was ready to be put into action.
“Our Community Strategic Plan builds on the foundations of the previous strategies and goals that were identified through the extensive CSP engagement undertaken in 2022,” he said.
“With many of the ideas and themes still relevant, this latest version of the CSP represents a refresh of the existing document rather than a complete redevelopment, ensuring continuity and alignment with ongoing community priorities.”

The CSP is a 10-year roadmap that outlines the community’s goals for the area and the key strategies needed to achieve them.
The document informs the development of council’s plans, policies, budget and program of works.
The updated plan will continue to target the seven key themes from 2021-22:
Environmental sensitivity
Progressive leadership
Liveable communities
Inclusion, culture and wellbeing
Prosperity and resilience
Connected communities
Tomorrow’s technologies
Before the CSP’s adoption, the draft was put to residents for any feedback and received 16 responses.
Cr Harvie said the submissions were being considered in the next phase of implementing the plan.
“The submissions received were primarily project-focused rather than speaking directly to the top-level strategies of the CSP,” Cr Harvie said.
“Therefore, the suggestions will be further investigated as we finalise the Delivery Program, which is the document that further details our agreed projects and actions.”
Now that the CSP has been adopted, council will continue to finalise its four-year Delivery Program and one-year Operational Plan ready for implementation.
