Challenges
As part of reviewing the Community’s Strategic Plan, we considered a number of challenges and issues relevant to the Port Stephens community in order to plan for what’s needed now and in the future. It is with this lens that we developed our 4-year program, annual plan, budget, workforce and asset plans along with a number of other factors which affect and will continue to impact Council’s operations now and into the future: aligning services with community expectations whilst balancing our resources financial sustainability ageing infrastructure, asset management, renewals, repairs and maintenance consistent community engagement and expectations for direct involvement in decision making employee wellbeing demand balancing the natural and built environment rapidly evolving technology affecting the way we deliver our services external impacts and response required in terms of natural disasters and emergencies complex and restrictive legislative environment
