👍 It's good. "No one understands the challenges and opportunities facing Victoria in the 21st century better than local councils. From rapidly evolving technology to social changes, shifting economies to environmental pressures, our local communities - and the governments that represent them - are at the forefront of multiple transformations happening simultaneously." The Municipal Association of Victoria - helmed by the indomitable Kelly Grigsby - has released it's 2024-2027 Strategic Plan. It's bold and ambitious and reflects the important role the local government sector must play at the front line of major change in our environment, communities and economies. The plan also acknowledges the critical need for collaboration, partnership and coalition: "We will work with a range of partners across local, state and federal government, industry, civil society, and community organisations. We will also enter into formal partnerships, sponsorships, agreements, and memorandums of understanding as needed, in addition to informal arrangements and collaborations. Advisory committees will provide specialist advice and guide our work." Have a read (it's very digestible) and lets get ready to rumble!
We know Victorian councils play a vital role in shaping and strengthening local communities. To help them keep doing just that, they need a strong body to provide leadership, advocacy and support. In other words, they need a strong MAV. Our roadmap for delivering that support over the next four years is set out in our new strategic plan. Titled ‘Shaping our Future’, it highlights how we will help local councils innovate, adapt, and thrive as we work to build a more resilient and sustainable Victoria. The MAV Strategic Plan 2024-2027 is available to read in full here: https://lnkd.in/gNrT5sB2 We’ll also be diving into the plan in more detail over the coming days on social media – watch this space for exciting insights.
