Corporate Plan pushes button on Bold Future actionThe launch of the Gold Coast City Council's 2009 - 2014 Corporate Plan pushes the button on the first five years of action to achieve the community's Bold Future vision. More than 11,000 residents had involved themselves in the Bold Future project, sharing their ideas and priorities for the Gold Coast over the next three decades. The new Corporate Plan sets out the first five years of a 30-year strategy that will secure the economic, environmental and social liveability of our city to 2040." GCCC Mayor Ron Clarke and CEO Dale Dickson expressed their appreciation to the Gold Coast community for the overwhelming and unprecedented response to Bold Future's public consultation process. Bold Future project wins three Australian Business AwardsThanks to the involvement of residents, Gold Coast City Council's Bold Future project has won three national business awards. Bold Future won the Innovation, Community Contribution and Public Service categories in the 2009 Australian Business Awards, announced in Melbourne recently. Green sweep in city's new conservation strategyA bold new green target for the city has been established with Council aiming to have 55 per cent of the city's land area covered by native vegetation by 2040. The Nature Conservation Strategy was endorsed by the full Council in May. It will be an essential tool in delivering the Gold Coast's Bold Future headline target of having a higher proportion of native bushland than any other major city in Australia by 2040.
Council moves forward with Gold Coast Climate Change SummitA key action under the new Climate Change Strategy is the Gold Coast Climate Change Summit. Now in the final stages of planning, the summit is earmarked for late 2009 and will bring together climate change leaders to consider how our city will respond to the challenges and opportunities posed by climate change.
