Strategic Community Plan 2017 – 2027
 This is the Shire’s long term strategic planning
 document
The Strategic Community Plan provides the framework that
guides everything we do and is balanced with the identification
of strategic risks, the capacity of the Shire to raise income and
manage assets into the future.
Importantly it helps us to deliver responsive, effective and
efficient services that represent value for money and enhance
the quality of life enjoyed within the Shire of Harvey.
The plan looks ten years into the future, is broad and has a
strong emphasis on our community’s visions, goals and
strategies.
A full review of the Strategic Community Plan is required every
four years with a desktop review every two years. This ensures
the plan is aligned to the community’s vision for the Shire of
Harvey’s future, including aspirations and service
expectations.

                                                                    9|Page
