Strategic Community Plan - Trends Analysis Survey

The development of the next Strategic Community Plan requires understanding the community's vision and aspirations, as well as the Shire's capacity to deliver. It also needs to consider broader trends that may impact the community, to help us predict and plan for the changing environment and guide us closer to the community's aspiration.

Involving your team could be a great way to cement a shared understanding of the importance of your work and the upcoming challenges and opportunities you envision.

Usability of the SCP

Every four years we get the chance to review our Strategic Community Plan. This plan should:

Clearly show the community's aspirations and priorities
Communicate the whole organisation's strategic focus
Help staff understand how their work links to the vision and strategic direction
Understand the broader context – e.g. demographic projections, challenges and opportunities, government priorities, etc.
Show how progress and performance will be measured, monitored, and reported

How often do you refer to the current SCP 2040?

At least weekly

Every month or two

Once a year

What's the SCP 2040? Oh yeah...never.

Don't worry, this isn't a test.

Is there anything you particularly like about the 2036 or 2040 Strategic Community Plans that should be considered for our next plan?

Do you have any ideas on how we can make the Strategic Community Plan more user-friendly or helpful as a guiding document for staff?
