Councils are required by the Local Government Act 2020 to develop a Council Plan to set key directions, objectives and strategies to work towards achieving their long term Community Vision. Councils are also required by the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 to develop a Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan to contribute to protecting and improving health and wellbeing.
The Council & Wellbeing Plan 2025–29 establishes Council's direction for the four years to 2029. It is firmly grounded in evidence, reflecting the community's vision for Kingston as a liveable and sustainable city, characterised by green and open spaces, innovation, and a safe, healthy environment for all.
