Wakefield Growth and Investment Action Plan

Council's Emergency Management Plan

The Emergency Management Plan establishes Council's role in the event of an emergency that could occur within or have an impact on the Wakefield region. It outlines the priorities for disaster risk reduction, maintaining emergency incident operational capability and preparing for recovery. Through the Emergency Management Plan, Council seeks to ensure appropriate emergency management arrangements are in place to reduce the risks posed by emergencies and will provide advocacy when the region is impacted by emergency incidents.

Health & Wellbeing Plan

Our Public Health Plan helps us promote health and wellbeing in our community. Council delivers a range of core functions and services that influence our community’s health and wellbeing. This Public Health Plan identifies those core functions and provides a framework to enhance the understanding of public health priorities for Council and  consequently supporting improved public health and wellbeing outcomes for our Community.

Many of these functions and services are taken directly from, or refer to, Council’s existing suite of strategic plans. The Public Health Plan has been developed to align with health and wellbeing objectives set out in the Wakefield 2030 Community Plan.

Council’s Public Health Plan was developed in reference to the inaugural State Public Health Plan (SPHP) 2019 - 2024,  and its vision for "A healthy, liveable and connected community for all South Australians."

The State Public Health Plan’s vision is supported by the following 4 strategic priority areas:

• Promote: Build stronger communities and healthier environments
• Protect: Protect against public and environmental health risks and respond to climate change
• Prevent: Prevent chronic disease, communicable disease and injury
• Progress: Strengthen the systems that support public health and wellbeing

The Wakefield Regional Council’s Public Health Plan 2024-2029 is a legislative requirement of the South Australian Public Health Act 2011.

Business Continuity Plan

Council has a tested Business Continuity Plan in place which aims to build organisational capabilities to ensure we can continue to deliver critical business objectives in the face of uncertainty or disruption.
