“Council has tried to address the needs and demands from all sections of the community while ensuring we maintain a healthy operating budget and remain fit for the future,” Cr McCormack said.
“The 2017/18 draft Operational Plan sets the Council’s priorities over the next 12 months, so it is important that it reflects the community’s expectations.
“I would encourage all community members to view the draft Operational Plan and the suite of Integrated Plans and attend their nearest Community Outreach Meeting.
