Strategic Community Plan 2020-2040 Review
What is a Strategic Community Plan?
Strategic Community Plans set out Council’s plan to guide the future of Belmont, prepared in collaboration with our community. It is a plan for action on how we will deliver our shared vision for the future.
The Strategic Community Plan sets the long-term direction and focus for Council’s planning, budget and resource allocation process. It also describes how Council priorities and strategies will be managed, and the services, programs and projects to be delivered.
The City of Belmont spoke to the community extensively to understand their priorities, needs and aspirations. Its clear that the community is passionate about Belmont and wants to build on the strengths of our community to create a liveable, productive and sustainable future.
The Strategic Community Plan was approved by Council at the April 2020 Ordinary Council Meeting.

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, and articulates how the Strategic Community Plan will be delivered through services, capital works, projects and activities.
