Local government is evolving - and so are the people who power it. This Strategic Plan sets a clear direction to energise the sector by investing in the capability, connection and confidence of those who serve our communities. It blends the wisdom of experience with fresh thinking to unlock new pathways for leadership and innovation.

Through a focus on delivering tangible value, fostering professional growth, and enabling collaboration across all corners of the state, this plan is about making things happen. Together, we’re building a sector that is inclusive, future-ready, and deeply connected — shaping not just the workforce of tomorrow, but the communities they serve.
