Shaping council priorities
Key themes identified within the Council Plan included, but were not limited to:
- Roads, including road safety, quality and maintenance
- Weeds, from increased weed control on council roads, to additional education
- Advocacy, seeking council's public support on a wide range of requests including volunteer support, public transport and more reliable electricity
Councillors will now consider the feedback as they work on creating the new 2024-2029 Council Plan, which will be released as a draft for further community engagement.
