The Mayor and Councillors are pleased to present the Somerset Regional Council Corporate Plan 2021-2026 in Draft. In Queensland, Local Government Authorities are required to prepare a Corporate Plan in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009 and Local Government Regulations 2012.

This Corporate Plan sets the direction for the communities of the Somerset Region and Council decision-making for the period 2021 to 2026. It articulates Council’s vision for the Somerset Region by providing a strategic framework for enhancing the quality lifestyle our community currently enjoys.

Over the life of this plan, Council will work toward its vision of being a vibrant, cohesive, connected and prosperous region. Councillors and staff will continue to work with the community by providing service delivery, which is responsive, cost-effective and of the highest standard. This will assist businesses and residents to undertake day-to-day activities with the support of Council.

The Mayor and Councillors are confident Council and staff, working in partnership with the community to deliver the priority strategies of this Corporate Plan, will not only strengthen Council but also ultimately make the Somerset Region an even a better place to live.

The Mayor and Councillors have focused on adding a new vision and mission to this Corporate Plan and refining the objectives to be achieved by Council under each of the Themes.
