Our priorities for this goal are to become leaders in sustainability; have clean and green communities; and healthy, cared for and sustainable environments.
Goal 4: Making culturally rich and vibrant communities
Over the next four years we will work to improve perceptions of safety in Burnie and to increase tolerance and inclusion, so that everyone feels safe, welcomed and able to enjoy their own heritage while celebrating our diversity. Our priorities for this goal are for active communities; thriving diverse community groups; and participating communities.
Goal 5: Making democratic and engaged communities
Over the next four years Burnie City Council will work to improve confidence in our decision-making, by informing and engaging our community.
