The Strategic Plan consists of two volumes. Volume One, the Description of the Region, is an updated version of Volume One of the Comprehensive Plan. As its name implies, the Description of the Region contains a variety of information and statistical data about Southwest Florida.

Within the Description, there are four sections. Demographics, discusses the human Region. This section contains demographic information for the Region. Economic Conditions, addresses the economy of the Region. Topics include income, labor force and employment, major economic sectors, and tourism. Natural Systems, addresses the physical or natural resources of the Region. This Natural Systems section contains information on topics such as climate, geology, topography, water resources, vegetation and wildlife. Urban and Rural Setting, discusses land uses in the Region.

Volume Two, Goals, Strategies, and Actions, addresses the five mandatory regional issues of affordable housing, economic development, emergency preparedness, natural resources, and transportation. Under each issue, the Plan contains information regarding current trends and conditions related to the issue. Also included is a description of why the issue is of importance to Southwest Florida. Each section contains goals and strategies designed to address the conditions and trends stated earlier. Once the SRPP is finalized the Strategies will be incorporated in the Council's overall work plan.
