Quarterly report tracks council’s progress

THE City of Greater Geelong Council has already delivered six priorities and aims as part of its 2018–22 Council Plan.

The Plan was adopted in June last year and identifies the objectives and priorities of council, as the region-city works its way towards being recognised as clever and creative.

It guides how resources are allocated, to deliver infrastructure, services and programs to the community in a sustainable way.

The City recently endorsed its Council Plan Quarterly Report – March 2019, which tracks council’s progress against the Council Plan’s 11 strategic priorities and the one year aims.

The plan has 84 key priorities and 56 aims and by the end of March 2019, the majority were on track.

Six have been completed to date, with three finished in the March quarter.

Mayor Bruce Harwood said this document was a welcome report card to see how council was tracking in the 2018-22 Council Plan, as it strives towards a clever and creative future.

“I’m pleased to see six priorities and aims have already been delivered, but we’re not done yet,” Mr Harwood said.

“Council is committed to delivering these outcomes and making Greater Geelong an even better place to live and work.”

The report states there are five priorities or aims that need improvement, including increasing free Wi Fi in public spaces and community facilities.

One has not been started and one has been deemed ‘off track’.

Council remains focused to continue work on all unfinished priorities and aims.
