Council Plan

The Council Plan identifies Council’s priorities and defines its key strategic response. This important document sets Council’s direction for the future and details how Council will allocate its financial and non-financial resources to deliver the Council Plan and all Council services, until the end of the current Council term. It responds positively to Council’s goals and aspirations as documented in the Ararat Rural City Council Community Vision 2030 publication. Our Ararat Rural City Council Plan 2017-2021 was developed after extensive community consultation and provides the overarching planning framework for Council.
