The Strategic Community Plan 2022-2032 is the overarching strategy and planning document that reflects our community’s long-term vision, aspirations and priorities.
The plan is built upon a central vision – for Victoria Park to be a dynamic place for everyone.
This vision is supported by our purpose, values, mission, community priorities and Town objectives.
The Town endeavours to undertake its work using a carefully crafted and best-practise strategic framework. This strategic direction is broad and varied, includes extensive and ongoing local community engagement and is ultimately set by our locally appointed elected members. Our strategic framework is complex and interlinked but follows a clear hierarchy.
The Strategic Community Plan is the overarching strategy and planning document that reflects our community’s long-term vision, aspirations and priorities.
To achieve our vision, the SCP is delivered through a framework of supporting plans and strategies, including:
