Council Plan 2025-2029 and 2025/2026 Council Plan Actions Adopted
Published on 29 August 2025
At the Council Meeting held on Wednesday 27 August 2025, Council adopted the Hindmarsh Shire Council Plan 2025-2029 incorporating the Community Vision and Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan, as well as the Council Plan Actions for 2025/2026.
About the Council Plan
The Council Plan was originally based on extensive two-stage community engagement, including a survey and a deliberative process, and then made available in late July until 22 August for feedback prior to adoption. Following the period of consultation, based on the community feedback, minor changes were made to enhance Council’s commitment to social inclusion, connection, and accessibility for all.
The Council Plan is structured around four (4) key themes:
- Our Community
- Built and Natural Environment
- Competitive and Innovative Economy, and
- Good Governance and Financial Sustainability
Each theme includes three (3) goals, supported by three (3) to four (4) priorities that outline the broad action areas we will prioritise to achieve each goal. These goals and priorities will guide Council’s work over the next four years, with a focus on communication, improved processes, innovation, and growth.
About the 2025/2026 Council Plan Actions
The 2025/2026 Council Plan Actions outline proposed actions for the year and a roadmap for future years. While indicative actions are mapped out beyond 2025/2026, Council will consult annually to refine them.
We will report quarterly on the progress of the Council Plan Actions, and annually on the Council Plan, including the Public Health and Wellbeing Plan.
