Council adopted its new Strategic Community Plan and Corporate Business plan at the June Council meeting. Over the next 2 weeks we will be finalizing the online and hardcopy production of these documents, as well as a community event to share the outcome of the process and the ongoing engagement that will be occurring for these important plans.
Council decided, based on community feedback last year that the seeking of community input and feedback on the strategic community plan shouldn’t be limited to twice every 4 years as part of formal review processes. Instead community feedback will be sought wherever possible and interested persons should be able to provide feedback at any time.
We will receive and collate the feedback regularly for informal review by Councillors quarterly and for formal consideration at the next review.
This approach is in line with Council’s recently adopted Communications & Engagement Strategy which states that communication with our community is more than just providing information. It is actively engaging with our residents and ratepayers regularly and transparently to work collaboratively to ensure the brightest possible future for our community.
Once the formatting and production of the documents is completed (expected within 1 month) they will be uploaded to the Shire website and with a simple click members of the public will be able to submit feedback and comments to the Shire. This feedback will be retained for reference at the next review which is always less than 2 years away. The new plans will be uploaded at the Shire’s Strategic Planning Webpage (which is where we will also create the one click feedback portal).
