On 10 November, we presented the Annual Report 2019-2020 to our Councillors. The report is a key opportunity for you to review our performance and the delivery of services throughout the 2019-2020 financial year. It provides an overview of achievements, completed projects, financial position, and other statutory reporting information. Importantly, the report holds us accountable for continued progress against the outcomes of the Community Strategic Plan, as well as the projects and actions detailed in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

We may have already started working on our plan for 2020-2021 but that doesn't mean we don't take a moment to look back and check on how we went in delivering our projects for 2019-2020. On Tuesday 8 September, Council endorsed the Six Month Progress Report for January to June 2020. It contains highlights from the past six months and is an excellent opportunity to see the progress we have made on major projects and service delivery for our community.

The plan, which is on public exhibition until Wednesday May 27, sets out many of Council’s priorities over the next 12 months including an $89 million capital works program to build, maintain and enhance infrastructure across the city.
