The reality is that as a Council – we can't do everything – but we want to ensure that what we do, matters.
We're currently developing our Council Plan which sets out the key priorities that Council will focus on over the next four years. It will also help to make sure that our everyday work is aligned with realising the Central Goldfields Shire Community Vision 2031.
For the first time, our Council Plan will also incorporate the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan. This will ensure that improving and promoting our community's health and wellbeing is at the centre of everything we do.
Our aim is to reach out to as many people as possible – whether you are a business owner, student, farmer, retiree, parent, volunteer – we encourage everyone to use this opportunity to have their say. We also have an activity sheet to encourage children to draw their favourite things to do.
By spending a few minutes, you can help decide where we will focus our resources and efforts to best support our community.
The first round of feedback is invited until Friday 28 March and can be provided via:
