Campaspe Shire Council is calling on the community to be part of reviewing and defining our shared vision for the future.
Mayor, Cr Chrissy Weller said all feedback received as part of the project will help Council prepare a new community vision and Council Plan, and other key documents. This project is part of looking at the next 20 years and beyond and asking the community to get involved to help shape the future of the municipality.
"The Thriving Together project is about creating a vibrant, healthy and prosperous future for our shire, a future that reflects the desires, priorities and aspirations of our community," Cr Weller said.
"The project is not about what you want to see next week, or next year, it's about looking to the future, thinking outside the square, and planning for the next 20 plus years."
An extensive community consultation program is about to start and throughout February and March a number of workshops have been planned. In addition to the workshops, pop-up activities in townships, targeted interviews and an online survey are also on offer to capture community comment.
