Background

Every year, Council develops an Annual Business Plan and Budget which links our Strategic Plan 2020-24 – A Brighter Future, the Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) and our Asset Management Plans with the annual budget planning process. This ensures that we continue to develop and maintain essential infrastructure services such as roads, footpaths, bridges, public toilets and open spaces as well as providing important services including libraries, health, planning, support services and waste collection that our community has told us they value, in a way that is fair, responsible and financially sustainable.

Our Draft Annual Business Plan 2022-23 focuses on continuing to support the Adelaide Hills community, environment and economy.

Some of our key projects and activities planned for 2022-23 include:

1. Upgrades of the Gumeracha Library
2. Continued development of the Fabrik Arts and Heritage Hub in Lobethal
3. Participation in the federally funded Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program to further invest in our region’s assets
4. Implementation of three key frameworks to support the improved management of Community and Recreation Facilities, Recreation Trails and Cycling Routes, and Play Spaces which will support Council to manage and improve assets for the community
5. Supporting the 2022 Local Government Election.

There are many other strategic initiatives identified which contribute towards achieving our long term goals. Further details of these can be found in the Draft Annual Business Plan 2022–23.
