Councillors formally adopted the Council and Wellbeing Plan 2025-2029 at the September 23 council meeting, laying out what is in store for the shire for the rest of this sitting council’s term. However, the measuring of success became a flashpoint at the meeting when Cr Adrian Weston criticised what he believed to be unclear performance indicators, arguing they lacked substance. “When I read the indicators of success or the performance indicators, some of them don’t measure anything,” he said. “I think the opportunity to continue to tune where our community is at and report back to them where we’re kicking and where we struggle — I think that is one of the reasons why I think this council plan works,” he said. “The goals are clear — the initiatives are clear.”When put to the vote, the Council and Wellbeing Plan 2025-2029 was adopted 6-3, with Crs Jarman, Zoe Cook, Tony Marwood, Daniel Mackrell, Luke Sharrock and Rob Amos voting for.
