Central Desert Regional Council presents its DRAFT Regional Plan 2023-24 (which includes our 2023/2024 Annual Council plan, budget and Rates Declaration) for public comment until close of business 19 June 2023. A copy is available to download in the link or at our Office at 1 Bagot Street, Alice Springs.

The Mid Year Amended Budget November 2022 supercedes the budget in the 2022-23 Regional Plan.

With the local government general elections on 28 August 2021, this plan is the first for the current Council and outlines our strategy for the next year. Central Desert Regional Council remains focused on delivering services for the benefit of our communities and residents under the overall strategy of “two ways, one outcome; indigenous and non-indigenous people working together”. Our vision is Central Desert people have equality of access to services and opportunities that enhance their well-being.

The Regional Plan has a number of important generational projects over the next few years. A commitment to good planning, financial sustainability and advocacy by Council will ensure that the Central Desert region will continue to grow into a viable economic development hub into the future for the prosperity for generations to come.

We’re working to improve our relationship with the residents of the Central Desert region. In 2022-23, we will continue our commitment to community engagement through Local Authority meetings, stakeholder and community meetings and being responsive to community concerns by ensuring every action of Council is aligned with the values of our region.
The 2022 – 23 Regional Plan and Strategic Plan 2022 - 26 have been redesigned and realigned to reflect the expectations of our residents who provided invaluable insights through the strategic plan consultation. We’ve also made key structural changes to the way we operate by hiring additional staff to provide you with a better standard of service.

Our key themes for the 2022/2023 Regional Plan are: I Have Connection to Community, Employment and Economic Development, Our Environment Matters, and Our Role as Council is Clear.
