Knox Community and Council Plans

The Community and Council Plan 2017-2021 is our commitment to make Knox a great place to live, work and visit. We created the Plan with our community and identified eight goals to focus on for the future. These goals guide Council's current activities, policies and programs of work.

This plan is due to expire on 30 June 2021, and work has begun to inform the development of our new plans for the future.

We’ve developed five draft vision statements based on your words and ideas. We want you to tell us which one you think best reflects your aspirations for the future of Knox.

Over the last few months, we’ve been seeking community input to help us develop our new Community and Council plans. The Community Plan will include a Community Vision statement, which describes how we as a community want Knox to look and feel over the next 10 years. The Council Plan will outline what part Council will play in achieving that vision.

Through our forums and focus groups, you told us what you love about Knox and what you want it to be like in the future. We’ve listened and come up with five draft vision statements that we think reflect this. We’d like you to choose your preferred statement and tell us why.
