THETRADE-OFFWe have put this plan together to reflect what you have told us while at the same time taking care to ensure that the projects identified will deliver on our outcomes. We can’t do everything so we will need to continually review our projects which may mean that we have to change some

of our funding plans, replacing existing projects with new projects that better fit our outcomes. So it’s really important we hear from you, to confirm we’re focused on what’s most important to you, and help us decide which projects to fund.

Healthy harbours and waterwaysOur harbours, foreshore and waterways will be accessible, attractive, and safe places for our community to enjoy for relaxation and recreation.

Over the next three years we want to:
