The Social Plan is a living document which will be under ongoing review and revised annually to ensure that it is in line with current State and Federal social policy direction, and responsive to the needs of the local community. The challenge now lies with each and every one of us to support the implementation process to ensure that community needs are met in forthcoming years.
