Greater Whitsunday Communities Strategic Plan 2022-2027

Greater Whitsunday Communities is proud to announce that we have finalised our Strategic Plan for the 5 years 2022 - 2027. This plan builds on the strengths of the 2021 transformative program to review the structure and leadership of the organisation whilst setting targets to hold in our core objective of participatory community development.

Our comprehensive planning process included horizon scanning, SWOT analysis and captured the honest and bold feedback from our Members, Board and Staff, which provided valuable insight into our purpose, foundation mission and vision. Our Strategic Plan defines our priorities for the next five years. Whilst Participatory community development is core to our work, financial sustainability through fee for service programs will support bridging the gap for us to achieve work that otherwise would not be possible. We recognise the importance the role of individuals, communities, the Greater Whitsunday Council of Mayors, their respective councils, State and Federal Government, business, and industries (Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS), Tourism, Construction, Agriculture, Health and Allied Services and Education) will play in achieving many of the strategic pillars outlined in this strategic plan. Looking into the future, our commitment to the socio economic and environmental wellbeing of the Greater Whitsunday region is unwavering.

These are the key elements that define the way we work and set the benchmark for the way we will work in order for us to achieve our vision. You can read the full Strategic Plan 2022-2027 here or refer to the Plan on a Page for an abridged version.
