Proposed Council Plan 2024 - 2029

The Council Plan is a strategic document setting out how we will meet our communities’ needs and expectations over the next few years. The Plan is informed by data - looking at how our communities are likely to change (a significant growth in people of pensionable age, with reductions in children and people of working age) in the context of ongoing financial challenges.

We would really value your views on the actions that we’ve identified as important for Aberdeenshire residents. You can view the plan by clicking here.

We’ve set out to create a plan that:

• is simple and can be readily understood.
• is responsive.
• ensures a clear link between what we want to achieve and how we intend to do it. This means setting out our aims, the actions we need to take to deliver those aims and measuring our delivery. If we fail to deliver, we need to change what we are doing.
• shapes our financial plans and how we use our resources.
• is informed by and responds to the aspirations and priorities expressed by local communities.

The Plan is based on outcomes that we want to achieve for Aberdeenshire, focusing on improving wellbeing of Aberdeenshire residents and making our region a more sustainable and better place to live in, work and visit.
