Wicklow County Council (which includes the five municipal districts of Bray, Arklow, Greystones, Wicklow and Baltinglass) is currently preparing its five year Corporate Plan, 2024 – 2029 which will serve as the Council’s Strategic Framework for Action over the duration of the five year plan.  The Plan will set out our vision, mission, and the core values within which we will operate and deliver services.    

Key strategic objectives will be identified under the three themes PLACE, PLANET AND PEOPLE which will be used to direct business processes and performance, through our Annual Service Delivery Plan and performance management development systems. 

The Corporate Plan is being prepared on an inclusive basis through consultation with internal stakeholders (elected members, staff and various committees) and external stakeholders.  The purpose is to provide all stakeholders with an input into the development of the plan.

Set out below are the Council’s  Strategic Themes and high level Strategic Goals for 2024 – 2029 as well as our Vision, Mission Statement and Core Values.  We have developed an online survey and we would like to hear your views and what you would like Wicklow County Council to focus on over the next five years.  This can be accessed at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WCCCorporatePlan

The Plan must be adopted within six months following the local elections 2024 which is December, 2024.  Your feedback will be considered during the drafting of the Corporate Plan.
