A Leading Community

This theme involves establishing strong government and regional networks, empowering the community to contribute to the future direction of the city, developing future leaders and providing inclusive decision making processes.

Key outcomes have been identified by the community and strategic actions will bring the outcomes to life.

Progress will be measured by working together towards short and medium term targets and reporting results back to the community.
