Current plans
Strategic Community Plan
The Strategic Community Plan is prepared in collaboration with our community. It is a plan for action on how we will deliver our shared vision for the future.
We spoke to our community extensively to understand their priorities, needs and aspirations. It's clear that our community is passionate about the City of Belmont and wants to build on the strengths of our community to create a liveable, productive and sustainable future.
The Strategic Community Plan has a minor review after two years and a major review every four years. The current version of our Strategic Community Plan spans 2024 to 2034.
Corporate Business Plan
The Corporate Business Plan is an important part of our Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) Framework and guides the implementation of the Strategic Community Plan.
The Corporate Business Plan translates the aspirations and strategies of the Strategic Community Plan into operational priorities and indicates how they will be resourced over a four-year period. The focus of this plan is how the Strategic Community Plan will be delivered through services, capital works, projects and activities.
The Corporate Business Plan is reviewed annually.
Informing and supporting strategies
There are a number of informing and supporting strategies that work together with the Strategic Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan. They often focus on a particular subject area and outline key actions that we will deliver over multiple years.
Evaluation and engagement
Community Perception Scorecard
We regularly ask our community to rate us and our services to understand how we are tracking.
The Community Perception Scorecard is run by an independent research company who work with Local Governments across the country. This means our results can be benchmarked against similar organisations.
The results of the scorecards help us understand what we are doing well, where we can improve, and what matters most to you and your community.
Find out more about the perception scorecards.
Reporting

Each year we develop an Annual Report to report against actions in our strategic plans.
