Council plan

The Yarra Council Plan 2021-2025 sets our strategic direction. It outlines what we will do over the next four years to achieve our community vision.

Our Council Plan is our strategy for the future. It says what we will do from 2021 to 2025 to build a climate-safe, equitable and liveable City of Yarra.

What is the Council Plan?

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.

Our strategic objectives

We want to do better for our:

  1. Climate and environment
  2. Social equity and health
  3. Local economy
  4. Place and nature
  5. Transport and movement
  6. Democracy and governance
From Community Vision to Council Plan

When we asked for your feedback on the Community Vision in 2020/21, we also asked for ideas to inform a draft Council Plan 2021-25 and our 10-year financial and asset plans. The adopted Council Plan aligns with this feedback and the Community Vision themes and priorities.

Municipal Health and Wellbeing Plan

The Council Plan also includes our Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan. This plan outlines how we’ll protect, improve and promote public health and wellbeing in Yarra. These are our obligations under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008.
