Community Strategic Plan ‘Making Tracks’ – identifies the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future and outlines strategies for achieving these goals. It has a long-term outlook of 10 to 20 years. Each newly elected Council must complete a review of its Plan by 30 June in the year following the local government elections and roll the planning forward by at least four years, that way it is always a minimum 10 year plan. Junee Shire Council’s current Community Strategic Plan was readopted on 28 June 2022.
