Council has developed a long-term outlook for our activities and these activities are based upon what the community desires to see happening within towns and villages in the Upper Lachlan Shire Council area.
Initiatives the community want to see happen includes the following:
- Transport issues regarding improving the condition of the
- Shire’s roads network
- Improvement in the town’s water supplies and sewerage;
The goals in implementing the Delivery Program are quite simple:
1. Council want people to be able to easily identify what the community’s aspirations are for the towns and villages within the Shire;
2. Council want people to be able to see how we will be funding identified programs; and
3. Council want people to see what will be happening in the long term (10 years), in the medium term (4 years) and in the short term (annually).
The outcome from the goals should see Council’s programs and activities better reflecting what the community as a whole wants. Council has tried to address the needs and demands from all cross-sections of the community.
In the past twelve months Council has undertaken a service level review program to identify efficiencies and cost savings. The primary goal of the service reviews is to make our Council more financially sustainable and place us in a position where we can deliver comprehensively the strategies and actions as outlined in the Delivery Program.
The Delivery Program is the product of a team effort by Councillors, Council senior management, Council staff and valuable community input. It is a vital document that keeps the community informed of Council’s plans and provides a link between the elected Council, the community and other Government agencies.
The Delivery Program also gives due regard to other relevant state and regional plans and some of the key challenges that were identified at a state-wide level including:
- Building infrastructure;
- Creating jobs;
- Improving government services.
The Upper Lachlan Shire Council has prepared a comprehensive capital works program for the Shire for the four-year period to 30 June 2029 in full here: 2025/2026 – 2028/2029 Draft Delivery Program
