Finance & Risk

The cost of implementing the key actions in this plan is beyond the capacity of Council alone. To
this end, Council will be seeking partnerships and strategic alliances with external agencies,
businesses, community groups and individuals to achieve our goals.

The 2018/19 implementation plan will present prioritised actions and clearly identify the additional
resources required to undertake these actions.
