Members of the public are invited to submit their observations on Waterford City and County Council's Corporate Plan 2024-2029.
The Corporate Plan serves as the local authority’s strategic framework for action over the duration of the current council from 2024 to 2029. It is a central part of the business of the local authority and sets out the vision and mission statement for Waterford City and County Council which are based on the core values of the organisation.
The Corporate Plan is the overarching strategy for the organisation and will guide the development of the Annual Service Delivery Plans.
The Corporate Plan is being prepared on an inclusive basis through consultation with internal stakeholders, i.e. elected members, staff and various committees, along with external stakeholders.
The purpose is to provide all stakeholders with an input into the development of the plan.
Setting out the five high level key corporate aims, as well as the vision, mission statement and core values from now until 2029, Waterford City and County Council would like to hear your views and feedback about what you would like Waterford City and County Council to focus on over the next five years.
Opening the online public consultation, Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Jason Murphy said, "Over the lifetime of this Council, the views of the public are intrinsic to developing a Corporate Plan that is innovative, ambitious and sustainable and supports the needs of Waterford as the best place to live, work, do business in and visit."
Sean McKeown, Chief Executive of Waterford City and County Council added, "The Corporate Plan 2024-2029 will be our roadmap to deliver strategic priorities and ensure that the needs of all Waterford citizens, communities, and stakeholders are met.
"Input from the public is invaluable and will help us shape the Corporate Plan and consequently develop the organisation's Annual Service Delivery Plans."
All submissions made will be considered, and a report on the public consultation process will be provided to the elected members of Waterford City and County Council to assist in finalising the Corporate Plan 2024-2029.
