Between January and February, 688 people participated in 22 engagement events across 17 townships, with 92% supporting 'A Healthy Connected and Engaged Community' as the top priority

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.
