Our vision

We want Glamorgan Spring Bay to be:

Prosperous, vibrant and inclusive. A place where people want to live, work and visit.

Our guiding principles

We will seek to:

• Balance economic and tourism growth whilst preserving our lifestyle, celebrating our rich history and protecting the region’s unique and precious characteristics.
• Reinforce and draw on the strengths of our communities at both a local and regional level.
• Attract and welcome people of all backgrounds, cultures and ages to live in our region.
• Take an East Coast perspective but also acknowledge the differing needs and priorities of each town or area.
• Ensure that our current expenditure and ongoing commitments fall within our means so that rates can be maintained at a manageable and affordable level.
• Draw on the knowledge and expertise of local people and communities in shaping and delivering our initiatives and plans – listening to and taking account of ideas and feedback from residents, businesses and ratepayers.
• Communicate and explain Council’s decisions and reasons in an open and timely manner.

• Sound governance and financial management.
• Cohesive, inclusive and resilient communities.
