Federation Council is pleased to present its Community Strategic Plan Engagement Report, a culmination of extensive community consultation and feedback. This report has guided the development of the draft Community Strategic Plan which will be presented to Council at the upcoming meeting on Tuesday, March 25 in Urana.
The Community Strategic Plan (CSP) is a long-term vision for the Federation Council area, outlining the community's aspirations and priorities for the next 15 years. The engagement process, which commenced in September 2024, aimed to capture the diverse perspectives of residents, businesses, and stakeholders to ensure the plan truly reflects the community's needs and desires.
Federation Council Mayor, Cr Cheryl Cook said Council is incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in the engagement process.
"The feedback we received has been invaluable in shaping the direction of our Community Strategic Plan," she said.
"Your input has helped us understand the key issues and opportunities facing our community, and will ensure that the final plan is a true reflection of our shared vision."
The engagement report details the various methods used to gather feedback, and data analysis of the feedback. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the key themes, challenges and priorities identified by the community, which has been used to inform the development of the final draft Community Strategic Plan.
Federation Council General Manager, Adrian Butler said the presentation of this report marks a significant milestone in the development of our CSP.
"We encourage all residents to review the report, which is available on Council's website," he said.
"Council is in the final stages drafting the final Community Strategic Plan, which will be presented to the Council and the community at our March Council meeting for public exhibition and further review before being adopted by Council."
Mr Butler said Council would like to sincerely thank all residents and stakeholders who contributed their time and insights to this important project thus far.
"Your participation is essential in creating a vibrant and sustainable future for our community," he said.
"Il would also like to take this opportunity to thank our staff for their diligent work and Karina Dooley of Projectura for partnering with Council to drive this significant project for the benefit of our entire Federation Council community."
