Adelaide Hills Council Draft Strategic Plan

Our draft Strategic Plan sets out our vision and a number of principles that guide what we do and our key areas of focus. While it doesn't cover everything we do, it highlights areas for special attention and where we will be directing our efforts.

We want the Adelaide Hills to be a place for everyone and you can help to achieve that. What's in the final Strategic Plan will be a priority for additional funding so it is really important that it reflects the aspirations of our local community, and that includes you.

The Journey so far...

We commenced our review of the Strategic Plan in 2023. Informed by our community survey in 2023, targeted research and stakeholder input, Council has sought to understand and reflect the community’s aspirations through a range of goals and objectives. We’ve determined priorities for focus over the coming years and outlined a number of principles to guide what we do.

Our draft Strategic Plan Vision

Is to preserve and celebrate the unique Hills character and environment, with sustainable practices in rural landscapes. We aspire to cultivate a safe, resilient and welcoming community that honours heritage, and encourages creativity and innovation.

You can find more in the draft Plan including our 10 guiding principles and further details around our four key Goals.
