Hindmarsh Shire Council Plan Actions 2026/2027

The draft Council Plan Actions 2026/2027 (the Actions) provide a focused and practical roadmap for delivering on the Council Plan 2025-2029 and Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan. Developed through a combination of strategic planning, community consultation, and review of existing priorities, the Actions are designed to drive tangible improvements in the quality of life for Hindmarsh Shire residents while ensuring Council remains responsive, efficient and forward-looking.

In addition to the specific actions outlined, four overarching priorities have been identified as guiding principles that underpin all areas of Council’s work. These are:

• Closing the loop with the community
• Using plain English (reducing jargon)
• Making processes easier and more consistent
• Clearly demonstrating outcomes and value

These overarching actions respond directly to community feedback and represent a commitment to improving how Council communicates, engages and delivers services.
