Making a Better Burnie 2044

Published on 21 September 2023

The final Strategic Plan and Vision that will guide Burnie over the next 20 years has been adopted by Council.

Making a Better Burnie 2044 is now the long-term vision of Burnie City Council. Using the community’s feedback, we have shaped 5 goals each with their own key directions to guide Councils work and partnership with our community and developers as we advance towards 2044.

Our vision is of an exciting future - as a clean, green, economically strong city, known for its natural beauty and for our new forms of making.

Over six months, the Burnie community was consulted extensively about what difference it wants its Council to make over the long-term. Over the next 20 years.

This community consultation was the highest level of participation and feedback that council has ever experienced to date. And that is why this plan – Making a Better Burnie 2044 – is written by and for, the community.

Making a Better Burnie Strategic Plan is now the overlying plan for Council. Its purpose is identifying the communities’ main priorities and aspirations for the future and to plan strategies for achieving these goals.

Our 15 year long-term Assessment Management and Financial management Plan will be directed by the Strategic Plan. As will the 4-year Council Plans that included the Asset Management and Financial Management Strategies. Insuring the future sustainability of Burnie's economic growth.

Councils Annual Plan, including the Capital works program and the Annual Budget, will all be programmed out by the principal activities that Council will deliver to the community from the overlying plan – Making a Better Burnie 2044.

We have created a video, that will further explain how Making a Better Burnie 2044 will lead us to where we want to go.

Burnie, let’s begin.
