Vision
Our Vision is for the Mount Barker District to be a community that values its people, rich history and cultural identity and where environmental sustainability is paramount. Our Community will cherish and protect its picturesque and peaceful setting. The economy will thrive with a regional centre at its core and with townships and rural communities that are innovative, vibrant and well connected.
In November 2020, Council endorsed a new Community Plan.
The Community Plan 2020-2035 is the Strategic Plan for Council that reflects the issues and needs of the community, to be delivered in partnership with others. It sets a vision for the district and identifies goals and objectives designed to highlight social, economic and environmental issues and challenges that affect us all, now and into the future.
A summary version of the Community Plan can be found here Community Plan Summary
6 Priority Directions are detailed in this Plan and elevate issues of critical importance for the future of the district. Priorities were informed by two Futures Forums that were held in November 2019 and September 2020. Ideas developed at the Futures Forums for progressing priorities contained in the Plan are listed in the Community Plan Appendix.
This Strategic Plan complies with Section 122 of the Local Government Act by:
- Providing a vision for our District that reflects community issues and needs;
- Guiding Council and its community in ensuring a healthy society, economy and environment; and
- Ensuring that Council’s vision and strategies can be aligned with operational activities and work programs.
