The Official Community Plan for the Village of Mayo outlines Council's direction and priorities to ensure Mayo remains a healthy, vibrant, and economically stable regional service center, serving as a desirable place for residents and visitors. It provides a framework for orderly, economic, and sustainable community development. The plan's vision positions Mayo as the "Heart of the Yukon," a strong, resilient, family-oriented community that celebrates diversity and welcomes newcomers. Key policy areas include social and economic development, education, parks, recreation, open space, land use planning (residential, commercial, industrial, community, institutional), heritage preservation, infrastructure servicing, and environmental protection.

The Village of Mayo's Integrated Community Sustainability Plan outlines a roadmap for a healthy, sustainable, and family-oriented community that values its multicultural roots and pursues responsible development. The plan is guided by principles focused on meeting residents' needs, minimizing environmental impact from extracted substances, societal products, and physical degradation of nature. Key goals include fostering modest population growth, collaborating with the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun, maintaining a compact community footprint, promoting diverse services for all life stages, encouraging local entrepreneurship and employment, and preserving heritage and historical assets. The plan also emphasizes incorporating sustainability principles into bylaws and infrastructure development.
