Corporate Plan 2025-30

Council has a new Corporate Plan 2025-30. It was adopted at the Ordinary Meeting on 27 February 2025 and sets a new direction for Council and the Sunshine Coast community. This early adoption allows time to guide the direction and development of the 2025-26 Budget and Operational Plan.

The new Corporate Plan will start on 1 July 2025 and will replace the current Corporate Plan 2024-2028 that remains in place until 30 June 2025.

Current Corporate Plan

Our Corporate Plan 2024–2028 (PDF 7.4MB) outlines our vision and 5 strategic goals:

Our Strong Community - our communities are connected and thriving places where people are included, treated with respect and opportunities are available for all.
Our Environment and Liveability - our natural assets, healthy environment and liveability credentials are maintained and enhanced.
Our Resilient Economy - our resilient, high-value economy of choice drives business performance, investment and enduring employment.
Our Service Excellence - our services are inclusive and responsive to the needs of our community and deliver positive experiences for our customers.
Our Outstanding Organisation - our organisation lives its values and is high performing, sustainable, innovative and community focused, marked by great people, good governance and regional leadership.

Operational plan

To achieve our goals, Council develops an Operational Plan each financial year. The Operational Plan is aligned to the Corporate Plan and progresses a range of activities, projects, programs and services that are funded through the annual Budget.

The Operational Plan forms an important part of Council’s strategic planning processes and enables Council to monitor and adjust our annual work commitments to ensure they continue to meet the needs of our community.
