Strategic Directions Plan Review

Project Overview

Under the Local Government Act, council's are required to review their strategic management plans within two years of a general election. Following the most recent election in November 2022, this review is timely and essential. The existing Strategic Directions Plan (SDP), adopted in December 2020, has now been revised, with the new SDP scheduled for adoption in November 2024.

The City of Port Lincoln completed the first stage of community consultation (July-August 2024)and invited further feedback on the Draft Strategic Directions Plan 2025-2034 from 19 September to 21 October 2024. The Draft SDP was developed using valuable input gathered from the community in the initial stages, and we sought further insights to ensure the plan reflects the needs and aspirations of our city's future.

Process Timeline:

Stage 1: July-August - Elected Member workshops and Leadership and Staff Workshops

Stage 2: August – Key Stakeholder & Community Workshops and survey

Stage 3: August-September – Preparation of the Draft Strategic Directions Plan

Stage 4: September-October - Community consultation on the Draft Strategic Directions Plan

Stage 5: November - Adoption of the revised Strategic Directions Plan 2025-2034

Key stakeholder and community workshops were held at the Nautilus Arts Centre in August. As we moved into the final public consultation stage, we encouraged everyone to share their thoughts on the direction of the Draft Strategic Directions Plan.
