strategic objective 
Three
Strategically planned, designed and well-maintained infrastructure, spaces and places.
What we will deliver:
Providing high quality places and spaces to enhance our townships and community.
Developing and promoting safe and suitable transport infrastructure.
Coordinating facilities and infrastructure to meet growth and evolving needs.
Fostering inclusive and accessible spaces for community connection, creativity and activities.

Our Focus

The way our towns and spaces are planned, designed and maintained has a big impact on how we live. We’re focused on creating places that meet the needs of our community, places that bring people together and reflect what matters most.

As our population grows and the way we live changes, we’re thinking carefully about how our infrastructure supports that. We want our streets, buildings and public spaces to work well now and into the future, with a strong focus on accessibility and thoughtful design.

It’s about looking after the places people rely on every day and making sure they continue to meet local needs.
