"The plans provide an overview of where we are headed, a detailed outline of deliverables and the performance criteria against which we will measure our progress."
Mr Panuccio said an important focus for the coming year would be on a range of transformational projects that could take MidCoast Council into the next phase of integration and providing services for our community.
"Many of these projects focus on improving the internal business processes of Council, and this work is critical to ensure that direct services to the community are delivered efficiently and effectively."
During the coming year council will also be working across all facets of council business to deliver: improvements to significant recreational facilities, the Civic Precinct project providing a new innovative library space and customer service point for the Forster community, development of a cultural plan, and the implementation of support strategies for our youth and ageing sectors.
"Work will continue on the development of a MidCoast wide local environmental plan and development control plan to allow for a common approach to development applications and we will begin design work on improvements to both water and sewer services for the Gloucester region."
