Community Planning
What is community planning?
Community planning brings residents together to
- explore what matters to people locally
- identify common values
- form a shared vision for their community.
With this as the basis, residents then create a Community Plan that includes a clear list of goals, priorities and actions that community members themselves will act upon.
Community Plans help inform Council’s plans and programs in those places, influenced by the unique values, characteristics and activities taking place in each township and community.
Completed Community Plans
Council supports local communities to develop a three year Community Plan for their township/district.
The following plans have been completed so far:
