A new draft corporate plan outlines the vision and aspirations of the Whitsunday Regional Council for the next five years.
Councillors last week unanimously voted to release the draft plan for community and stakeholder consultation.
The consultation process is pegged to start in mid-March and gives the community an opportunity to give feedback before the corporate plan is formally adopted.
Here is a breakdown of the 17 key focus areas listed in the corporate plan, which will help guide how the council broadens the regionâs economy and paves the way to a sustainable future over the next five years.

It was recommended the funding instead be used to irrigate the Collinsville Showground Oval, complete the missing footpath/pedestrian footbridge link along Scottville Rd and complete street beautification on Stanley St. Agenda documents state community consultation showed the Railway Road project was not considered a high priority for Collinsville residents. It was recommended the councillors use the funding for the alternative projects, rather than the Railway Road Footpath Project.
