Engagement will occur throughout the first half of 2025.
Council is working with residents to develop the 2025-2029 Gannawarra Shire Council Plan and its Community Vision.
To be adopted later this year, the 2025-2029 Gannawarra Shire Council Plan will incorporate Council’s Municipal Health and Wellbeing Plan and the municipality’s Community Vision for the next 10 years.
How is Council developing its Council Plan?
During late 2024 and early 2025 residents were able to outline their thoughts regarding their community's highlights and challenges, safety concerns and what they would like Council to achieve during the next four years via various opportunities. These included:
- Providing feedback via a five-question survey that could be completed online or via hard copy.
- Adding details to conversation boards located at various locations across the municipality.
- Discussing their thoughts at the one of the more than 20 community pop-up sessions held across the municipality. These sessions included gatherings that coincided with community events, community organisation meeetings, Northern District Community Health Social Meals sessions and discussions held at neighbourhood houses.
What is happening now?
Council is using all feedback received to develop a draft version of the 2025-2029 Gannawarra Shire Council Plan, which Council will seek your feedback regarding later this year.
