The Yarra Council Plan 2025-2029 sets our strategic direction. It outlines what we will do over the next four years to achieve our community vision.
All councils must produce a Council Plan every four years. It’s an important document that sets out the medium-term direction for council. It includes a series of strategic objectives, strategies, initiatives and indicators for the next four years to work toward Yarra's 2036 Community Vision. These are our obligations under the Local Government Act 2020.
Building a great future for Yarra
As our population grows, we want to work with our community to ensure that Yarra remains a place where people love to live, visit, work and celebrate.
To support this, we are focusing on four Strategic Objectives:
- Living in the City
- Building the City
- Working and Playing in the City
- Running the City
As part of developing our Council Plan 2025-29, we invited the community to reflect on the 2036 Community Vision that was developed in 2020-21. The new Council Plan is shaped by this vision and will guide our efforts to make Yarra an even better place to live, work, play, and celebrate.
In alignment with the Council Plan 2025–29, this document provides detail to the 58 Strategic Indicator Performance Metrics that monitor Council’s progress in achieving its Strategic Objectives. Each metric is linked to a corresponding success outcome from the Council Plan, with baselines, targets, and trends provided where available to support transparent, evidence-based performance reporting.
