It also describes changes made to the Program over this time and proposed next steps, including the preparation of a plan to deliver new off-site solutions over the next 5 – 10 years.

The Annual Report has been prepared in council’s marketing template but will be turned into a graphic document suitable for public release after this committee meeting.
