Welcome!

Welcome to our exclusive engagement page we've made specifically for young people in Bass Coast to feed into the "Our Bass Coast, Our Future" project.

Every four years, Council must develop plans which set the goals for Council over the next four years. It's also an opportunity about what we can change now in the short term to better support our community.

We review and update four important documents:

  • Council Plan
  • Community Vision
  • Long Term Financial Plan
  • Asset Plan

We want to hear from all parts of the Bass Coast community and that includes young people. We want you to tell us what is most important to you so we can make sure the plan captures it.

Future stages of the plan preparation will include a community panel process to make big decisions about the future priorities of Bass Coast, but this first stage is to gather information from everyone.

Current strategic documents

  • Bass Coast Community Vision

    The Community Vision was developed by a community panel, made up of over 40 people representative of the Shire, who worked together to write the vision statement, aspirations and priorities for Bass Coast, for the next 20 years.

  • Council Plan 2021-25

    The Council Plan 2021-25 brings together feedback we have received through community engagement and identifies our priority focus areas over the next four years.

  • Long Term Financial Plan

    The Long Term Financial Plan provides an overview of Council’s financial position including the services we deliver and our approach to funding service delivery, the impact of rate capping, the impact of the pandemic, climate change adaptation and waste management.

  • Asset Plan

    The 2022 Asset Plan is a document that communicates the importance and magnitude of the infrastructure assets for which Bass Coast Shire Council (BCSC) is the custodian. It informs the community on how our Council-controlled infrastructure and other assets are to be managed to achieve the Council Plan objectives and Community Vision statement.
