The Queenscliff community can have their say on the region’s future as the Borough of Queenscliffe welcomes feedback on four draft plans and strategies.
The Draft Council Plan 2025/29, Draft Financial Plan 2025/35, Draft Asset Plan 2025/35 and Draft Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2025/29 were unanimously adopted for public exhibition during a special council meeting on September 15.
Councillor Isabelle Tolhurst said the plans were “really considerate” of the borough’s current financial and community environment.
“(The draft plans) seek efficiencies while holding a level of service standard and investment that, under our best assumptions, will continue to support the community of the borough,” she said.
“It is attentive to the need to be smart with limited income sources and resources, which is a problem the sector faces generally across Victoria, as sustainability is a perpetual consideration.
“It (financial plan) reflects the intent of the draft council plan, the capital works we’ve considered and wish to invest in and importantly invests or plans to invest more in asset renewal and maintenance.”
Council will be guided by a series of principles over the next four years, including inclusive engagement, continuous improvement, liveability and sustainability.
The community can provide feedback on the borough’s draft plans and strategies in writing to info@queenscliffe.vic.gov.au or Queenscliff Town Hall at 50 Learmonth Street by 4pm on October 14.
