Improving food security, caring for the disadvantaged, and environmental responsibility are just a few of the priorities for Eurobodalla’s future outlined by local residents so far in Eurobodalla Council’s Community Strategic Plan process.
The Council is asking locals to share their hopes and dreams for the shire through a dedicated website to help with the preparation of the shire-wide plan.
Participants can add ideas and thoughts to virtual vision boards or complete a quick survey to tell Council their views. Groups can get together and do a workshop in a box and local youth are encouraged to imagine they’re Mayor for a day.
Council’s strategic analyst Amber Pollard said Council had improved the Our Eurobodalla website to make it even easier to participate.
“We’re really excited by the amount of engagement so far and we’re keen for as many residents as possible to join the conversation before it closes on October 31,” she said.
“Council prepares a Community Strategic Plan on behalf of the community every Council term. It’s been five years since Eurobodalla residents were last involved in this process and a lot has happened since then.
“Now is the time to tell Council what you want for the shire.”
The feedback will be used to create a draft Community Strategic Plan, on which the community can provide further feedback before it is considered by the new Council for adoption.
