The Upper Lachlan Shire Council in partnership with our communities developed the Upper Lachlan Community Strategic Plan 2042, which identifies the community’s priorities and outlines strategies to achieve those goals.
The Upper Lachlan Community Strategic Plan 2042 is a long-term visioning document that expresses community’s long-term aspirations. The Community Aspirations are as follows:
- A built environment enhancing the lifestyle of a diverse community;
- Community liaison to preserve and enhance community facilities;
- A healthy natural environment;
- A prosperous economy with the balanced use of our land;
- People attaining health and wellbeing;
- Resilient and adaptable communities;
- Responsible and efficient use of resources; and
- Transparent and accountable governance.
In working towards delivering these long-term aspirations for our community, sufficient resources will need to be provided by Council and asset management will become a critical component in ensuring service delivery success. Council will address community aspirations within the five identified Strategic Pillars and there are strategic objectives identified. The Strategic Pillars are as follows:
- Our Community
- Our Environment
- Our Economy
- Our Infrastructure
- Our Civic Leadership
To ensure that Upper Lachlan Shire Council addresses the Strategic Pillars priorities in the Community Strategic Plan, a Resourcing Strategy has been prepared. The Resourcing Strategy is a key part of the integrated planning and reporting framework for Council’s long term planning. Council’s Resourcing Strategy includes the following integrated documents:
- Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP)
- Workforce Plan
- Infrastructure Plan
The Long Term Financial Plan sets out Council’s projected income and expenditure, statement of financial position and cash flows for the coming 10 years and outlines methods of monitoring financial performance.
The Long Term Financial Plan in full here: 2025/2026 – 2028/2029 Draft Long Term Financial Plan
All enquiries in relation to the draft plans may be directed to Council by email to council@upperlachlan.nsw.gov.au.
