Have your say on future planning

Glenelg Shire Council is now embarking on the development of the next Council Plan.

The 2025 – 2029 Plan, with integrated Health and Wellbeing Plan and Community Vision, will be a key strategic document that sets the direction for council for the next four years.

An Engagement and Communication Plan was adopted at the recent council meeting and will see council undertake an extensive six-week engagement campaign seeking community input to shape the next plan.

Glenelg Shire Mayor Karen Stephens encouraged every Shire resident to get involved.

“After last year’s council election we are required to develop a Council Plan detailing our direction for the next four years,” she said. “Council aims to ensure that future decision making is guided by you – our community.

“The Council Plan is a key document, as it sets out the direction of Council for the next four years and it is vital that the community let us know what they believe council’s direction should be, so let us know what you want please.

“Your voice will inform the development of not only this document but also some of Council’s other long-term plans such as the Asset Plan, 10-Year Financial Plan and Rate and Revenue Plan.

“We aim to streamline and strengthen the connection between them.”

The engagement campaign will include face-to-face Community Conversations and post card surveys in locations across the shire, an online survey, community focus group, school activities and targeted engagement with stakeholders and partners.

A flyer will be delivered to every household in the Shire with information on how to get involved, including the dates for the pop-up Community Conversations, where to get hard copy surveys and postcards and who to speak to if you have any questions or need help to Have Your Say.
