Thanks to the people of the Gold Coast for getting involved in ‘Bold Future’ and helping us win three Australian Business Awards for Innovation, Community Consultation and Public Service. Bold Future developed a shared whole of city vision based and crafted from extensive community consultation with more than 11,000 local people.
The Corporate Plan 2009-14 will now put into action the first five years of Bold Future, implementing the vision, principles and themes approved by Council in January 2009. This Plan sets out what Council, on behalf of the community, intends to undertake in support of the six key focus priorities identified in Bold Future:
1. A city leading by example
2. A city loved for its green, gold and blue
3. A city connecting people and places
4. A safe city where everyone belongs
5. A city with a thriving economy
6. A city shaped by clever design
The Corporate Plan 2009-14 will be implemented through Council's annual Operational Plan, which identifies key areas and projects for investment each year.
