Strategic focus areas for future years

• Ongoing disruption from the pandemic and floods has impacted how Council seeks and receives community feedback, leading to Council making greater use of online engagement while balancing support to communities who rely on more traditional methods. Council commits to maintaining our human presence in the community through in-person information and feedback initiatives. • Council is committed to increasing diversity group representation in our workforce, ensuring our employee mix reflects our diverse community. We will continue to seek opportunities to reduce disadvantage that can be caused by job access and design, through attraction and retention activities and encouraging workforce flexibility, diversity and inclusion. This will ensure our workplace, and as a result our community, benefit from the innovation and greater advantages that a diverse and inclusive workforce creates.
