Read our 2025-26 Delivery Plan for a thriving, inclusive community to live, work, and do business.

Our new Delivery Plan brings our Corporate Strategy to life with a clear focus on what matters most to our communities.

The Delivery Plan sets out clear steps and measurable outcomes, enabling residents and businesses to hold the Council to account, with progress being tracked through biannual updates to councillors. 

Executive Portfolio Holder for Organisational Development and Governance at Waverley Borough Council, Councillor Victoria Kiehl, said: “This Delivery Plan reflects our commitment to investing in what really matters - supporting residents, strengthening local businesses, and protecting our environment. From modern council homes and new leisure facilities to practical help for local businesses, we're making our vision a reality and delivering meaningful outcomes for our communities.”
