Introduction
This paper analyzes and describes Community plan 2036 for the city known as Victor
Harbor. This City represents one of the largest population towns in the region of Fleurieus and
function as the key district center for the region (Liu and Robinson 2016 p.182). The community
plan mainly illustrates what the council of the Fleurieu's wants the City of Victor Harbor to look
like in the future. Also, this community plan describes how the council plans to attain its vision
for the next twenty years. From the community plan, it is clear that the council experience some
of the challenges which hinder them from achieving their goals. Some of the challenges include
balancing a range of short term and long term priorities. This paper is divided into different parts.
The first part will discuss the identification of implicit as well as the use of theory or explicit
social. The third part discusses the key objectives as well as target groups. There is also a
discussion of the evidence-based for the community plan. Also, there is a description of the
intervention used by the council. The last part of this paper is an explanation of evaluation as
well as monitoring strategy.
Use of Theory
This community plan employs the use of theory to predict the future. The community
plan establishes some important facts about the city to predict what will happen in the future
(Schubert 2019 p. 21). Therefore, the council employs the use of theoretical understandings in
predicting future events (Molla 2018 p. 51).
Key objectives and target groups
The act of the local government requires the council to specify its objectives in the
management plan. Some of the key objectives stated in this community plan include:

1) Healthy environments: The council aims at taking care of the environment by keeping
it healthy (Depner and Teixeira 2012 p.55). This is because the council believes that the
environment has a positive impact on the well-being and health of the community. The council
will ensure that the environment remains healthy by protecting the natural environment and
protecting and enhancing landscape as well as a scenic amenity. The success of this objective is
that it will allow the community to better manage the negative impact of climate change.
2) Attractive lifestyle as well as an inclusive community: The council opts to create
friendly environments where all individuals access similar programs as well as services in the
community. The success of this objective is that it allows individuals to feel linked to the
community as well as enjoy living in the city of Victor Harbor.
3) A thriving local economy: This objective aims at making the economy to be strong and
the employment rate to be high.
4) Infrastructure and services supporting the community: According to the council, this
objective will ensure that individuals feel healthy and safe, as well as able to get the services they
require.
5) An innovative council empowering the community: In this objective, the council opts
to empower the community by offering employment opportunities to the people.
In this community plan, there are two types of target groups. The two target groups
include indirect target groups and direct target group. The indirect target group often contributes
to the success of the project (Alizadeh, Sipe and Dodson 2014 p.201). This is because they play a
crucial intermediary role. For instance, in the community plan for the city of Victor Harbor,
some of the indirect target group includes Neighboring councils, private sectors, non-
governmental sectors, private sectors, regional bodies as well as the wider community (Residents

of Fleurieus region). All these target groups will work closely with the council of Victor Harbor
to help it achieve its visions. Also, in this community plan, some of the needs of the community
cannot be provided by the council. Therefore, the council will work closely with the federal and
state government to enable them to fulfill the needs of the entire community (Chakravarti 2016
p.605). Also, the council intends to work very closely with the federal and state governments to
enable them to plan for infrastructure and services for the satisfaction of the community’s needs.
The other type of target group mentioned in this community plan is the direct target
group. This type of target group comprises of the persons that the council wants to target with its
project activities. Some of the direct target groups include Visitors and investors (Sun et al. 2018
p.602).
The evidence base for the plan
The evidence base provides strong evidence of the development pressure, needs, and
issues within the community (Keijzers et al. 2019 p.93). Some of the evidence base that
supported the designed Victor Harbor community plan
· Consultation on the community plan: This helps in creating a consultation
statement that shows how the council has engaged more so during the creation of the community
plan.

requirement.
